What Are the Benefits
of Laser Hair Removal
Using Optimas?

High-PoweredSafe Treatment

The Optimas laser is more powerful and also safer than other laser hair removal systems. This is because the laser pulses and uses only the safest wavelength frequencies.

PainlessHair Removal

Unlike other hair removal treatments, the Optimas laser is virtually painless. Based on our experience, we have found that only bikini laser hair removal requires numbing before treatment to ease discomfort.

Treats AlmostAll Skin Types

The Optimas system treats a broader range of skin types than other laser systems. Patients from skin type I (very pale) to skin type VI (deeply pigmented dark brown) can benefit from laser hair removal.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Treatment Areas

Laser hair removal can eliminate unwanted hair in a variety of locations on the body.

Treatment areas include:

  • Arms
  • Legs
  • Chest
  • Back
  • Armpits
  • Bikini line
  • Face

Procedure Details

During the treatment, the laser applicator will be rolled across the treatment area. The Optimas system uses a DiolazeXL applicator piece to target unwanted hair.

The procedure will involve multiple passes over the treatment area to ensure all unwanted hair and follicles are treated. The laser system targets the roots of unwanted hair to ensure that it does not grow back over time.

Depending on the size and number of the treatment areas, the length of your laser hair removal treatment will vary.

How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Will I Need?

Most patients need at least six sessions to fully treat unwanted arm or leg hair.

The number of sessions needed for optimal results will vary depending on the thickness of the hair in the target area and your desired results. During your consultation, we will create a tailored treatment plan for you.

Laser Hair Removal Results and Recovery

How Long Will My Laser Hair Removal Recovery Take?


The recovery after skin laser treatment will vary depending on the intensity of the treatment. In general, patients may experience minor discomfort for one to three days after treatment, with full recovery occurring within two weeks.

What Are the Side Effects of Laser Hair Removal?


All laser hair removal procedures can have side effects. While most patients will not experience these side effects, there is no way to guarantee they won't occur.

Some of these risks may include:

  • Skin discoloration
  • Minor burns
  • Swelling
  • Peeling skin
  • Unwanted scars

When Will I See Results From My Laser Hair Removal?


Most patients will see initial results within two to four days of their treatment. The final results of smooth, hair-free skin may take up to four weeks to fully develop.

How Permanent Is Laser Hair Removal?


While this treatment provides permanent hair reduction, some patients may experience hair growth again within two to five years. Repeat treatments can address this concern.

Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Hair Removal

How much does laser hair removal cost?

The cost of laser hair removal will vary depending on the number and size of the targeted areas. We will give you a personalized quote for your laser hair removal cost during your consultation.

Am I a candidate for laser hair removal?

Anyone with unwanted hair on their body is a potential candidate for laser hair removal. Ideal candidates will be in good health and have no medical conditions that may complicate treatment.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

The Optimas laser system uses a triple cooling system that makes the treatment entirely painless in most cases. Patients may still need minor numbing treatments in particularly sensitive areas such as the bikini line.

Will I have scars after laser hair removal?

Under most circumstances, patients will not develop scars after laser hair removal treatments. There have been rare cases where complications have caused unwanted scarring. If you have any concerns about potential complications, be sure to discuss them during your consultation.

Can I combine laser hair removal with other treatments?

Yes. Laser hair removal can be combined with other desired procedures, such as NeoGraft® hair restoration and SkinPen® microneedling treatments.
The Optimas laser system also offers other non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments to rejuvenate your face and body. This allows us to offer combination procedures with a single device.
