Yes, You CAN Remove Hair There

Laser hair removal has taken the beauty industry by storm, replacing the inconveniences of waxing and shaving for many people who want a longer-term result. While there’s always room for advancement, current laser hair removal technologies can remove targeted body hair and prevent its growth for months or years at a time. Occasional touch-up treatments can keep you hair-free indefinitely with a lower risk of razor burns, bruising, ingrown hairs, and cuts associated with conventional hair removal strategies. 

Most patients require 2-6 easy treatments for full hair removal in a targeted area with intermittent touch-ups thereafter. Still, laser hair removal offers longer and more complete hairlessness than any other strategy available today. 

At Orlando Dermatology Center in Oviedo, Orlando, and Lake Mary, Florida, board-certified dermatologist Vitaly Blatnoy, MD, and the team provide individualized and safe laser hair removal treatments based on your needs and expectations. 

Many people wonder whether they can achieve full-bodied hairlessness through laser hair removal or hairlessness in a specific overgrown area. Here’s what we want you to know:. 

Common targets for laser hair removal

Laser hair removal can effectively remove body hair or reduce its growth in any area you typically shave. Plucking, waxing, or shaving your body hair can result in unnecessary pain, irritation, or ingrown hairs, but laser hair removal gives you a smoother finish. 

You can choose as many or few areas you’d like for body hair removal using cutting-edge laser technology at Orlando Dermatology Center. Some of the most commonly targeted areas for laser hair removal are:

• Arms
• Underarms
• Legs
• Chin and jaw
• Bikini line
• Chest
• Back

Some people hesitate to ask about the more taboo areas that grow hair. Most modern lasers can safely remove most or all of your pubic hair, replacing those painful Brazilian waxes. You can enjoy complete smoothness quite literally all over your body. 

The rare limitations

The one area we caution you from targeting with laser hair removal is anywhere around the eyes. Although laser hair removal sounds like the ideal replacement for eyebrow plucking, laser hair removal on or above the eyelids is risky because of the potential for an eye injury. Just like any powerful light-based device, medical lasers for hair removal can cause severe and irreparable damage to your eyes. 

If you’re one to pluck your eyebrows every week, consider sticking with your current routine of waxing, tweezing, or threading instead of pivoting to laser hair removal for this purpose. 

Are you a candidate?

Our team can evaluate your skin and tell you if laser hair removal is the right choice based on the health of your skin. With modern laser hair removal devices, most skin types are a safe bet and treatments are generally comfortable.
