Laser Hair Removal

Permanent Hair Removal in Amarillo, TX

Dr. Proffer now performs laser hair removal in our West Texas plastic surgery office. Hair can be effectively removed from the face or body through laser technology, which removes unwanted hair without pain or long-lasting side effects.

The process of laser hair removal takes from several minutes to several hours, depending on the area being treated. Laser hair removal uses a low-energy laser that passes through the skin and is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. As the laser is absorbed by the hair follicle, the follicle is permanently disabled, preventing the re-growth of hair in that area.

In most cases, no anesthesia is necessary, as laser hair removal is a non-invasive, gentle process.
