Your hair growth occurs in cycles. When some follicles are growing, other follicles are resting. Because each follicle is in a different stage, multiple sessions are needed to target each follicle when it is active. Spreading out your sessions over a few weeks helps you get effective results and smoother skin.

Laser hair removal is an effective treatment for long-lasting results. While patients can enjoy the benefits of the procedure for years, it’s considered semi-permanent because some hair follicles may continue growing. If stray hairs pop up, additional laser hair removal treatments may be needed.

Laser hair removal is a procedure that varies in cost based on the size of the treatment area, in addition to how many treatment sessions you will need to get optimal results. To understand the benefits of laser hair removal, estimate the energy and time you currently spend on shaving, waxing, or other temporary hair removal methods. In comparison, laser hair removal is not only more cost-effective but will also save you energy and time. We will create a plan with the number of appointments we suggest and pricing options to consider.

Besides having an amazing team as well as two of the Best Doctors in Central Texas, we chose the very best technology for our patients. We have the Harmony XL Pro Laser.

Safety
You don’t want to trust your skin to a hair removal procedure that damages it or puts it at risk. Harmony XL is an exceptionally safe way to remove unwanted hair. It uses rapid pulsing of broad-spectrum laser energy at a low setting, with little risk of side effects, to rid you of unwanted hair.

The Harmony XL system’s unique gradual heating method works by damaging your hair follicles, while avoiding injury to surrounding skin. The specially designed laser delivery technique keeps energy in constant motion, while using simultaneous cooling to prevent burns and keep your skin comfortable.

Using the Harmony XL system, your trained, experienced aesthetics specialist here at Associates in Women’s Health uses a device that transmits laser light energy through the outer and inner layers of your skin until it strikes hair follicles. Then, the Harmony XL laser vaporizes the pigment in hair follicles, disabling them and stopping their growth.

Harmony XL is safe for all areas of your body, including your face, chest, back, belly, bikini line, legs, and feet.

Although many of our patients seek laser treatment with Harmony XL simply because they are tired of routine hair removal chores, some want relief from extreme hair growth due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The elevated levels of the male hormone androgen associated with PCOS can lead to excessive facial and body hair in women.

Simple & Convenient
Laser hair removal with the Harmony XL system is quick and convenient. A special laser applicator allows us to treat large areas at one time. Although laser hair removal can require multiple treatments, it is virtually painless, so you experience no downtime after a treatment. Our patients tell us that hair removal with the Harmony XL system is comfortable and causes little or no skin irritation.

Typically, our patients require an average of 6-10 sessions for hair removal. Treatment time can range from a few seconds for a small area such as above your upper lip, to eight minutes for your entire back.

Permanent
Harmony XL provides truly effective, permanent hair removal that lasts and lasts. And it’s more efficient than other hair removal techniques such as electrolysis.
Harmony XL works on all shades of skin (light, dark, or tanned skin) and all kinds of hair (fine, medium, or coarse), although the level of response varies from person to person. Generally, blonde and white hair don’t typically respond well to laser hair removal treatment.
