What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal can be a great alternative to waxing or shaving for our Lake Oswego, OR patients who desire a long-lasting solution for hair reduction. Our team at Premier Laser + Skin offers advanced laser technology, using the Syneron-Candela GentleMax Pro 755 Alexandrite and 1064 Nd:Yag Laser to deliver precise, targeted pulses of energy that effectively destroy the hair follicle. Once the hair growth cycle has been successfully interrupted, patients will see significantly less hair in the treated areas for a long period of time. The most common areas that we treat are the bikini area, upper lip, chin, underarms, legs, and back. Our facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Mark A. Petroff, invites both men and women who are interested in body hair removal to schedule a consultation at Premier Laser + Skin today to start their laser hair removal treatments.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?
The benefits of laser hair removal are clear for anyone struggling with unwanted facial or body hair — this noninvasive treatment can effectively reduce hair growth in the long term to enhance your comfort and confidence. Some other benefits of laser hair removal at our Lake Oswego, OR office include:
- Long-lasting reduction in unwanted hair
- Saves time compared to shaving or waxing
- Minimizes the risk of ingrown hairs
- Provides smoother skin without stubble or irritation
- Can treat large or small areas of the body
- Offers precision targeting for specific hair follicles
- Reduces the need for ongoing hair removal maintenance over time
Am I A Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal can be an excellent choice if you're tired of dealing with razors or waxes for unwanted body hair. Ideal candidates for laser hair removal include:
- Patients with dark, thick hair
- Patients who have shaved the area before treatment
- Patients who are seeking a long-term body hair removal alternative
- Patients who have realistic expectations for their outcome
The price of a laser hair removal treatment can vary depending on a variety of factors, including how many sessions you need, the size of the treatment area, and your aesthetic goals. During your consultation, Dr. Petroff and our team will build a personalized body hair removal plan tailored for your needs.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Before the laser treatment is administered, patients can ask for a numbing cream to help the process feel more comfortable. Our aesthetician will give you safety goggles to wear and then proceed by turning on the laser that will be administered through a handheld device. The device will also have bursts of cold air continually accompanying the laser to help cool the area and reduce discomfort. The treatment is very quick, lasting only a few minutes with only mild burning or heating sensations. You can apply soothing lotion post-treatment if desired and return to their normal activities right after.
Petroff Center Plastic Surgery and Medi-Spa Reviews
I love the Petroff Center! My laser hair removal results are great. The office is beautiful and the staff are just wonderful.
Petroff Center is the best. I love my laser hair removal results and Melissa P. Is just lovely.
After reading some of the negative reviews regarding ultherapy I was very hesitant to do it and almost didn't. I have had a fraxel treatment in the past and had other laser treatments without harmful effects so I decided to cross my fingers and try it. I'm so glad I did. It has been 3 weeks and it looks like I had a lower face lift without going through surgery! My neck is so much tighter - the sagging skin under the chin is almost gone. The labial folds around my mouth are so diminished I may not even get the juvederm filler! The procedure under the neck was a little painful. I should have taken 2 pain pills before I had it done but only took one. However the pain lasts only a short time and the results were well worth it - far better than surgery! My cost was a package special that included juvederm, botox and a couple of chemical peels. I think the procedure without the extras was about $4000. However, if you're looking for a little tightening I would fully recommend this.

Laser hair removal- My experience with Kasey was great. She is so nice and professional. It is a very clean and friendly environment. I have tried laser hair removal at a different esthetics spa and after 1 treatment at Petroff it was already so much more effective than the other spa. Highly recommend laser hair removal at Petroff with Kasey!

What to Expect After Laser Hair Removal
Results may be visible after 1 – 2 sessions, but a patient typically needs 4 – 6 sessions to attain their full outcome. Patients can expect to see full hair reduction results within a few weeks following their final session. Overall, the treated area should be considerably smoother with a slower growth rate. Results can last years, though a shift in hormones such as with pregnancy can cause the hair to grow back.
