Laser Hair Removal
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser Hair Removal at Refine Aesthetics in Austin, TX, is a popular and minimally invasive procedure designed to effectively reduce unwanted hair on various parts of the body and face. By using advanced laser technology, this treatment targets hair follicles with concentrated light energy, permanently reducing hair growth over time. The process is both precise and efficient, making it an ideal solution for individuals looking to avoid the hassle of shaving, waxing, or plucking.
This non-invasive method is suitable for most skin types and hair colors, and can be customized to treat specific areas such as the legs, arms, underarms, back, bikini line, and face. Many patients find Laser Hair Removal to be a convenient option for achieving smooth skin with minimal downtime and discomfort.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser Hair Removal works by sending laser pulses that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair. The light energy converts to heat, which then damages the hair follicles responsible for hair growth. Over the course of several treatments, this damage inhibits the follicles from producing new hair, resulting in long-term hair reduction.
Each session typically lasts between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. The procedure is relatively comfortable. Most patients experience only mild discomfort. Many often compare it to the sensation of a rubber band snapping against the skin. The advanced technology used at Refine Aesthetics also includes cooling mechanisms to further minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Who is Laser Hair Removal For?
Laser Hair Removal can be done to both men and women who are looking to reduce unwanted hair in a safe and effective manner. It is ideal for individuals with darker hair, as the laser focuses on the pigment in the hair follicle. However, advancements in laser technology now allow the procedure to be effective on a wider range of skin tones and hair types.
Patients with light, fine hair may require more sessions to achieve optimal results. A consultation at Refine Aesthetics will help determine if Laser Hair Removal is the best option for your specific hair and skin type.

Common Questions About Chemical Peels
The number of sessions required for optimal results varies depending on the individual’s hair type, color, and the area being treated. Most patients need between six to eight sessions spaced four to six weeks apart for long-lasting results. Maintenance sessions may be required once or twice a year to keep hair regrowth minimal. Your practitioner at Refine Aesthetics will recommend a treatment schedule tailored to your needs.
Laser Hair Removal requires very little to no downtime. You can resume your normal activities right away, after the procedure. However, it’s essential to shield or protect your skin from sun exposure as well as to follow any post-treatment skincare instructions provided by your practitioner. It’s common to experience slight redness or irritation, which typically subsides within a few hours. For best results, avoid plucking or waxing in between treatments, as these methods can interfere with the laser’s ability to target the hair follicle.
The cost of Laser Hair Removal at Refine Aesthetics in Austin, TX, varies depending on the size of the area to be treated and the number of sessions needed. Smaller areas, such as the upper lip or underarms, are typically less expensive than larger areas like the back or legs.

Ideal candidates for Laser Hair Removal are those who are looking for long-term hair reduction and have darker hair.
