Laser Hair Removal in Plano, TX

Unwanted hair can be significantly reduced by a series of laser hair removal treatments. At Beyond Beautiful in Plano, TX, facial plastic surgeon Dr. Vu Ho welcomes you in for a complimentary consultation to learn about the procedure and to find out if you’re a candidate. At our office, we use the highly effective Elite MPX laser to target hair virtually anywhere on the body, including the face, neck, back, legs, arms, underarms, and more. The heat from the laser targets the hair follicle to destroy it to prevent hair growth. A number of series will be needed to minimize hair growth.

There are many reasons patients in Plano, TX choose laser hair removal with our team. Dr. Ho understands the importance of patient comfort and safety, which means all laser treatments are performed with the latest and most advanced technologies available. Some of the most well-known benefits of laser hair removal include:

• Safe, quick procedure that is non-invasive
• Little to no side effects or downtime
• Great results after a series of treatments
• Hairless skin for weeks or months at a time
• Improved confidence due to smoother skin
• Ideal for virtually any area of the body, including delicate areas

During a consultation, a medical professional will help determine if laser hair removal is right for you in order to achieve your goals. The ideal candidates for laser hair removal:

• Have unwanted hair virtually anywhere on the body
• Are tired of waxing, shaving, and tweezing
• Want to improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation and/or facial redness
• Desire long-lasting results

Your medical aesthetician will discuss all medications, products, and procedures to discontinue prior to your laser treatment. A consultation is required two weeks prior to laser hair reduction treatments.  Prior to laser hair removal, the treatment area will be cleaned and prepped. Our laser does use a cooling device to aid in patient comfort. When performed on the face, the patient may be given eyewear to protect the eyes.

The handheld device will be placed on the treatment site for a short period of time to deliver quick pulses of energy before being moved to the next section of skin. A sensation similar to a rubber band being snapped on the skin is felt by those who receive laser hair reduction. Treatment times range from ten minutes up to 1 hour, depending on the area(s) being treated.

Dr. Ho and our entire staff are completely dedicated to prioritizing your comfort, safety, and satisfaction during this cosmetic procedure. We now offer the PRO-NOX system to ensure your comfort.

With the PRO-NOX Nitrous Oxide Delivery System, you can control anxiety or pain during any medical procedure. Much like what you might receive from your dentist for pain, this vapor blend allows you, the patient, to choose the strength of the nitrous oxide and oxygen flow.

Patients will experience 24 hours of downtime where no activity that will raise the body temperature will be able to be performed. All pre- and post-treatment information will be discussed and given to each patient during their initial consultation. Treatment protocols will be assessed after each treatment to ensure you receive the best treatment for your concerns. Since hair growth occurs in phases, multiple treatments will be needed. Treatments will be scheduled anywhere from 2.5 – 10 weeks apart, depending on the area(s) being treated. This will be discussed during your consultation and reassessed at each appointment. Typically, a package of six laser hair reduction treatments is recommended.

Patients should expect to see reduced hair growth over the course of treatment. Even though laser hair removal greatly reduces hair growth, hair can grow back. While no procedure is permanent, patients can expect long-term results. Patients should keep in mind that treatments may be needed in the future after the initial series of treatments to prolong the effects.

Let’s face it: hair removal is a pain and is only temporary with hair growing back before you know it. Why not reduce hair growth basically anywhere on the body with long-term results? You can with laser hair removal! During a consultation, we will provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision. Give our office a call today to start your journey toward smoother, hair-free skin.
