Laser hair removal is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures and is quickly replacing tedious, repetitive, and sometimes expensive hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, tweezing, and other techniques. Most people have areas of their body from which they regularly remove hair, or would like to remove hair and have it stay gone.
Unwanted hair can increase feelings of self-consciousness, even affecting how we dress. Laser hair removal gives patients freedom from such feelings, and the ability to be constantly smooth and ready for whatever adventures lie ahead. Tri Valley Plastic Surgery is a premier Oakland laser hair removal destination that offers exceptional patient care. Our expert team can help you achieve the smooth appearance and ease of care you’ve always wanted.
Request a ConsultationBefore arriving at our Oakland Plastic Surgery clinic for treatment it is asked that our patients fully shave the treatment areas. This will help to ensure that laser energy is efficiently transferred to the hair follicle during treatment. Topical anesthesia can be applied and left on the treatment area for 15-30 mins. The technician will adjust the laser hair removal machine’s settings according to your hair color and thickness, the area being treated, and your skin tone.
Your technician will apply a test spot to the desired area of hair removal to ensure that the proper settings are being used before continuing with the full treatment. The technician will then guide the tool over the entire treatment area while simultaneously cooling the skin. Treatment time will vary depending on the size of the treatment area. Patients will need multiple sessions per treatment area to reach desired results with about four to eight weeks between sessions.
Patients can expect the treated area to look and feel as if it has been sunburned for several days following treatment. Moisturizers and cool compresses may help to relieve any discomfort. Patients who receive laser hair removal on the face may apply makeup the following day unless the skin is blistered. It is important to apply sunscreen following laser hair removal to prevent sun damage to skin in the treatment area. Patients are asked to avoid direct sun exposure for one week before the treatment session and for two weeks following a treatment, as the skin is more susceptible to damage by sunlight.
Hair growth following treatment will become thinner and lighter with each session. Once the point of little to no hair growth is reached, patients can return on an as-needed basis for any maintenance sessions.

Yes. Laser hair removal is permanent once the hair follicle has been destroyed. Some hair follicles may only be damaged rather than destroyed and may produce hair in the months following treatment. Repeat treatments can be performed to eliminate any lingering hairs.
Most patients need between four and eight laser hair removal treatments depending on the area being treated and the hair’s response to the laser. These sessions are commonly spaced four to eight weeks apart.
Many patients describe the sensation of laser hair removal treatment as being similar to the snapping of a rubber band, or a slight pinch. Most patients say laser hair removal is less painful than waxing.
Risks and side effects associated with laser hair removal vary according to skin type, treatment area, hair color, and care before and after treatment. The most commonly occurring side effects of laser hair removal include skin irritation and pigment changes. Redness, discomfort, and swelling may occur as a result of skin irritation following treatment. Temporary or permanent lightening or darkening of skin may occur. Patients with darker skin tones are most prone to skin darkening, and it is most likely to occur as a result of sun exposure. Other less common side effects which may occur include textural changes to the skin, scarring, blistering, or crusting.
Laser hair removal is not recommended to be used on areas around the eyes including the eyebrows, eyelids, or other areas for safety purposes.
