Debunking Myths About Laser Hair Removal: What You Need to Know
Author name
Unwanted hair can be frustrating, and traditional hair removal methods like shaving and waxing often come with pain, irritation, and frequent upkeep. Laser hair removal offers a long-term solution, but many myths surrounding the treatment keep people from experiencing its benefits.
At Eyesthetics, we use advanced DiolazeXL technology to provide painless laser hair removal under the expertise of Dr. T. Amerson Pegram, MD. Let’s clear up some common misconceptions so you can feel confident about making the switch.
Myth #1: Laser Hair Removal Is Extremely Painful
The Truth: It’s far more comfortable than waxing.
One of the biggest concerns people have is pain. Many assume that laser hair removal feels like a rubber band snapping against the skin or worse. However, with today’s technology, that’s far from reality.
At Eyesthetics, we use the DiolazeXL laser, which features built-in cooling technology that soothes the skin during treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild warmth or tingling, much more comfortable than waxing or plucking. If you’ve endured a bikini wax before, laser hair removal will feel like a breeze.
Myth #2: It Doesn’t Work on Certain Skin Tones or Hair Types
The Truth: Advanced lasers can treat a variety of skin and hair types effectively.
It’s true that older laser systems were limited in treating darker skin tones or lighter hair colors. However, DiolazeXL is designed to safely target a wide range of skin tones and hair textures, thanks to its advanced wavelength technology.
At Eyesthetics, we customize each treatment based on your skin type, hair thickness, and hair color to ensure the best results possible. Whether you have light, dark, fine, or coarse hair, we can develop a plan that works for you.
Myth #3: Laser Hair Removal Is Dangerous for the Skin
The Truth: It’s safe when performed by trained professionals.
Some believe that laser hair removal burns the skin or causes permanent damage. However, when performed by an experienced provider using FDA-approved technology, the procedure is incredibly safe.
At Eyesthetics, Dr. T. Amerson Pegram, MD, a triple board-certified specialist, ensures that each laser session is tailored to your skin type for maximum safety and effectiveness. The DiolazeXL laser is gentle and non-invasive, designed to target hair follicles without harming surrounding skin.
Myth #4: Laser Hair Removal Only Works After One Session
The Truth: Multiple treatments are needed for long-lasting results.
While laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, it doesn’t eliminate every hair in a single session. Hair grows in different stages, and the laser is most effective when hair is in its active growth phase.
For best results, most patients need six to eight sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. However, each session reduces hair growth, meaning you’ll notice fewer, finer hairs after just a couple of treatments.
Myth #5: It’s Only for Women
The Truth: Men benefit from laser hair removal too!
Laser hair removal isn’t just for smooth legs and underarms—many men turn to it for areas like the back, chest, neck, and beard line. It helps reduce ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and daily shaving irritation.
At Eyesthetics, we provide customized laser hair removal plans for both men and women, helping everyone achieve smoother, hassle-free skin.
Who Is the Ideal Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Most people looking for a permanent reduction in unwanted hair can benefit from laser hair removal at Eyesthetics. Ideal candidates include those who:
✔ Want to
ditch razors, waxing, and plucking for good

ingrown hairs or razor burn
