How long does each laser hair removal session take?

The laser hair removal sessions are fast, and each one takes under 5 minutes. However, you need to spread them out by about 4 to 6 weeks, so the whole process can take nearly a year.

Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?

We do everything possible to minimize your pain, but you may experience some discomfort. We're using a high-powered laser and very high heat, so you experience what feels like a mild sunburn.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

This depends on your hair, skin tone, and the location. One of our specialists can give you a much more specific answer during your consultation. However, it will take at least 6 treatments because our laser targets actively growing hair, and only about 30% of your hair grows at any given time.

How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?

Price is charged per treatment, so it varies. The size and location of your hair removal could make it more expensive, as could hair color. Our specialists will provide an estimate before you begin.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

We start by cooling your skin to reduce your paint. Then, our laser penetrates your skin and targets the hair follicle, which absorbs the light and overheats so it can no longer grow.

Will Laser Hair Removal Work for Me?

Laser hair therapy will not work for white, blond, gray, or red hair because there's not enough melanin in the hair. Talk to one of our specialists to understand whether it can work for you.

Why Should I Select Lexington Tattoo Removal for Laser Hair Removal?

At Lexington Tattoo Removal, we use specialists explicitly trained for laser hair removal, laser tattoo removal, and microblading removal. Our narrow focus means that we excel at these practices and can provide you with a better experience than going to a doctor or a dermatologist since training addresses these specific things. We also have the best technology and products, including lasers, lotions, creams, and systems designed to improve your experience.
