What does laser hair removal do?
What to expect with laser hair removal results
Laser hair removal is permanent, and the hair follicle will no longer produce hair. Results vary depending on treatment area and how many hair removal sessions you complete.
Following the procedure, existing hair will begin to detach naturally from the follicle and fall out on its own. New hair will not grow back in its place, and if it does, it’ll be minimal. Because hair grows in cycles, it takes multiple laser hair removal treatments to stop all (or most) hair growth.
Refrain plucking before, during or directly after laser hair removal sessions. Plucking could damage the follicle. For best results, treated hair needs to fall out naturally.
After 1-2 treatments, you’ll begin to see reduced hair regrowth. If you still experience hair growth around the treated area, it’ll be thin, fine and sparse.
Which laser hair removal is best for you?
There are many lasers on the market capable of performing hair removal. They’re not all created equal, and technology has vastly changed over the years. Most hair removal lasers work best on dark hair and light skin. When misused and on the wrong skin color, the laser treatment can cause hyperpigmentation (brown or red spots) and scarring.
Dr. Gandhi is a highly sought after laser expert. He has several devices to treat all hair and skin types. The lasers have a cooling effect on the skin, so they’re virtually painless and are very fast, effective treatments.

Once you arrive at your appointment, you may receive numbing cream, which takes about 20-25 minutes to start working. As soon as that’s complete, you’ll be off to one of Dr. Gandhi’s laser treatment rooms for your fast and painless hair removal treatment.
Laser hair removal is usually associated with minimal to no pain. Most patients describe the sensation as a pinch or a mild rubber band snap. Dr. Gandhi carries advanced lasers that are less painful than older models on the market. He always offers his patients numbing cream before the procedure.
Depending on the size of the area being treated, laser hair removal is a speedy treatment.
With Ohio Skin Center’s rapid hair removal laser, an upper lip can take 30 seconds and a full leg complete in 10 minutes.
Results depend on the treatment area and hair type but for full hair removal, a patient can expect to have 2-6 treatments. Results of reduced hair growth should be visible within 1 month.
You can return to normal daily activity right away but refrain from working out for at least 24 hours.
We do recommend staying away from the sun and UV exposure ad using sunscreen to protect the area.
Side effects are rare, but patients have reported irritation or tiny red bumps on the hair removal area on occasion. These symptoms are treatable with ice or aloe and will likely reside within a few hours.
Be sure to have laser hair removal performed by a trained board-certified physician to avoid burns, irritation and pigment issues.
