Laser hair removal typically requires 6-8 treatment sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. You'll notice significant hair reduction after the first few sessions, with continued improvement after each treatment. Call (901) 624-5605 to schedule your consultation.

Laser hair removal causes minimal discomfort, often described as a warm pinprick or rubber band snap. Most patients find it less painful than waxing. We offer topical numbing agents for sensitive areas to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

Avoid waxing, plucking, and sun exposure for 4-6 weeks before treatment. Shave the area 24-48 hours prior to your appointment. Sunscreen is essential for several weeks before your session to protect your skin and ensure optimal results.

Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction rather than complete permanence. Most patients experience 85-95% hair reduction that lasts several years. Maintenance treatments may be needed annually to address any regrowth from dormant follicles.

Our advanced laser technology targets melanin in hair follicles with precise light energy, converting it to heat that damages the follicle's ability to regrow hair. Dr. Gregory Laurence and our experienced team customize each treatment based on your skin type and hair characteristics. The procedure works by targeting follicles during their active growth phase, which is why multiple sessions are necessary. Our state-of-the-art equipment includes built-in cooling systems for comfort and safety. We serve patients throughout Memphis, Germantown, and surrounding areas with personalized treatment plans designed for optimal results. Contact Germantown Aesthetics to learn more about our laser hair removal process.

Most adults with unwanted hair are excellent candidates for laser hair removal. The procedure works best on patients with darker hair and lighter skin tones, though our advanced technology can safely treat various skin types. Ideal candidates include those seeking long-term hair reduction for aesthetic or medical reasons, individuals tired of shaving and waxing, and patients with ingrown hair problems. Dr. Laurence evaluates each patient's medical history, skin type, and hair characteristics during consultation. We can effectively treat areas including legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, face, and back. Patients should have realistic expectations about results and be committed to completing the recommended treatment series. Those with certain medical conditions or taking specific medications may need special consideration. Contact Germantown Aesthetics for a personalized candidacy evaluation.

We can safely treat virtually any area of the body with unwanted hair growth. Popular treatment areas include legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, Brazilian area, face, chin, upper lip, chest, back, and shoulders. Our precision laser technology allows us to target both large areas like legs and back, as well as smaller, delicate areas around the face. Dr. Laurence customizes laser settings for each treatment area based on hair thickness, skin sensitivity, and location. Some areas may require more sessions than others due to hair growth patterns and hormone influences. Facial treatments require special expertise, which our team provides with extensive training in aesthetic procedures. We also treat areas affected by conditions like hirsutism or PCOS-related hair growth. Each treatment area is assessed individually during your consultation to determine the optimal approach. Schedule your consultation at our Germantown location by calling (901) 624-5605.

Laser hair removal costs vary based on treatment area size, number of sessions needed, and individual hair characteristics. Larger areas like legs typically cost more than smaller areas like upper lip or underarms. Most patients require 6-8 sessions for optimal results, and many find the long-term value superior to lifetime costs of waxing or shaving. Dr. Laurence provides detailed pricing information during your consultation based on your specific treatment plan. We offer various payment options to make treatments accessible and convenient. The investment in laser hair removal often pays for itself over time by eliminating ongoing expenses for razors, waxing appointments, and hair removal products. Many patients appreciate the time savings and improved confidence that comes with smooth, hair-free skin. Treatment packages may offer additional value for multiple areas or extended treatment plans. Contact Germantown Aesthetics for detailed pricing information.

After treatment, you may experience mild redness and slight swelling similar to a light sunburn, which typically resolves within a few hours to days. We provide cooling treatments and recommend cold compresses to minimize any discomfort. Most patients return to normal activities immediately, though sun exposure should be avoided for several weeks. You'll notice treated hairs beginning to shed over the following 1-2 weeks, which is a normal part of the process. Between sessions, you can shave if needed, but avoid waxing or plucking which can interfere with treatment effectiveness. Our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions and is available to address any concerns. We recommend using gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers and broad-spectrum sunscreen on treated areas. Follow-up appointments are scheduled 4-6 weeks apart to target hair follicles during their active growth phases. Dr. Laurence monitors your progress and adjusts treatment parameters as needed for optimal results. Call (901) 624-5605 with any post-treatment questions.

Proper preparation ensures optimal results and safety during your laser hair removal treatment. Stop waxing, plucking, or using depilatory creams 4-6 weeks before your appointment, as these methods remove hair follicles that the laser needs to target. Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for several weeks prior to treatment, and use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily on areas to be treated. Shave the treatment area 24-48 hours before your appointment, leaving hair just above the skin surface for the laser to detect follicles. Avoid applying lotions, deodorants, or makeup to treatment areas on the day of your session. Stay well-hydrated and inform our team of any medications you're taking, as some can increase photosensitivity. Our Memphis team provides detailed pre-treatment instructions during your consultation with Dr. Laurence. We'll review your medical history and answer any questions about the preparation process. Following these guidelines helps ensure comfortable, effective treatment with minimal risk of side effects. Call (901) 624-5605 to schedule your consultation and receive personalized preparation instructions.
