Laser hair removal FAQs
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles beneath the skin’s surface. The pigment in your hair absorbs the light, which then converts into heat, disabling the follicle and preventing future growth. At Alaska Facial Plastic Surgery and ENT, Dr. Magill and her team use the Cynosure Icon system to deliver precise, controlled treatments that are tailored to your skin tone and hair type for optimal safety and effectiveness.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth but isn’t considered completely permanent. Most patients experience long-term hair reduction after a series of sessions, and any regrowth tends to be finer, lighter, and sparser. However, occasional maintenance treatments may be needed to preserve your results. With the Cynosure Icon system, you can expect superior outcomes that last much longer than shaving, waxing, or plucking.
How many sessions will I need?
Hair grows in cycles, and laser hair removal only targets hair in the active growth phase (anagen). This means you’ll need multiple sessions—typically 6 to 8 treatments spaced several weeks apart—to effectively reduce hair growth in a given area. Dr. Magill will evaluate your skin, hair, and treatment goals during your consultation to create a personalized treatment plan.
Is laser hair removal safe for all skin types?
Yes, the Cynosure Icon system features advanced technology that allows safe treatment of a wide range of skin tones. The Skintel melanin reader helps Dr. Magill’s team customize each session based on your unique skin type, maximizing both safety and results. Whether you have light, medium, or darker skin, we can tailor your treatment for your best outcome.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap or flick of a rubber band, followed by a mild warming sensation. Thanks to the Cynosure Icon system’s built-in cooling mechanism, discomfort is significantly minimized during treatment.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
There is little to no downtime after a laser hair removal session. You may experience mild redness or sensitivity in the treated area, similar to a light sunburn, which usually subsides within a few hours. You can return to your normal activities immediately, but you should avoid direct sun exposure and follow all post-care instructions Dr. Magill’s team provides.
