Many of us know what it is like to have hair growing in unwanted places. There are a number of ways to manage unwanted hair, many of them painful and impermanent. Waxing and shaving are two common examples. If you are tired of the discomfort and inconvenience of waxing, shaving, and plucking, you may be a good candidate for laser hair removal. With locations in Renton and Maple Valley, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeons offers med spa services designed to rid you of unwanted hair effortlessly.
What Is Laser Hair Removal, and How Does It Work?
Laser hair removal works by emitting low-level laser light, which is absorbed by the pigment of the hair. The light is converted into heat, damaging the follicles and inhibiting future hair growth. The process allows you to eliminate hair without the constant pain and hassle of waxing or the routine of shaving. You can enjoy lastingly smooth skin in the treated areas.
Most Popular Areas to Get It
Laser hair removal can be performed virtually anywhere on the body where unwanted hair needs to be eliminated. Some of the most popular areas to seek laser hair removal from a med spa include:
The face, including the chin and the upper lip

So, Is Laser Hair Removal Ideal for Me?
Laser Hair Removal Is Ideal For:
- Anyone with dark hair and lighter skin
- Those who do not have active acne outbreaks or other skin conditions

It Is Not So Great For:

All About Laser Technology
At Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeons, we use laser technology known as elōs Plus. This laser hair removal system is an advanced laser modality that is approved by the FDA for safe and effective treatment. We prefer this technology because it comes with a number of built-in features to ensure patient safety and comfort during laser hair removal, such as cooling technology to help the treated area avoid any irritation. Additionally, different handpieces make it easy for us to target hair virtually anywhere on the body.
