Woman having laser hair removal treatment

Lasers are useful for removing unwanted hair from the face, leg, arm, underarm and bikini line, as well as other areas where unsightly hair is a problem. Laser hair removal replaces waxing, electrolysis, shaving and bleaching. Dr. Jensen and his team offer state- of-the-art laser hair removal treatments. Treatments are fast and effective. Our laser hair removal system works on most hair and skin types.

Dr. Jensen’s team is excited to evaluate your treatment goals and develop a customized plan for you.

Laser light targets the pigment in the hair follicle while leavening surrounding skin untouched. The hair follicle heats up and deactivates the hair follicle permanently.

Treatment duration is variable based on skin type, hair color and location of hair. Most areas require 6-12 treatments, but you will have noticeable results even after the first treatment.

Laser hair removal can only target hair follicles that are in the active growth phase. Since only a certain percentage of our hair follicles are actively growing at any one time, multiple treatments are required to deactivate all the hair follicles.

Dr. Jensen’s Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics office is excited to offer affordable laser hair removal options for any budget. Dr. Jensen’s office offers affordable pre-paid package series for the specific area you are wanting laser hair removal.
