Hair follicles develop from a complex series of interactions between different elements of the skin. Interestingly, not all hairs are actively growing at the same time – they actually go through distinct phases: growth, regression, and resting. The duration of each phase is dependent on several factors, including body location. For example, at any one time, 90% of the hairs on our head are in their growth or Anagen phase, compared to only 70% of the hair on our arms. During the regression or Catagen phase, the surrounding skin begins to absorb the hair bulb. Finally, the hair enters the Telogen or resting phase, at the end of which the hair falls out and the follicle begins to cycle again.
Age, ethnicity, medications, hormone levels, and body site influence the length, coarseness, and color of body hair. The amount and distribution of body hair is largely determined genetically. This may vary according to racial characteristics. How much hair you have depends upon how many hairs are in their active growth phase, and how long that phase lasts.
In the past, various methods were used to remove unwanted hair. Each of the following traditional methods, while variably effective, have distinct disadvantages when compared to laser hair removal.
Laser hair removal is a method of removing unwanted hair, utilizing laser energy targeted to the hair follicle to cause thermal damage and prevent further hairs from growing.
Common treatment locations include legs, armpits, upper lip, chin, and the bikini line. However, laser hair removal is possible from most parts of the body.
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, laser hair removal is today among the top five most-sought non-surgical treatments. Say goodbye to the razor or complicated waxing, and instead, say hello to laser hair and body confidence.
At Renew Wellness & Aesthetics, we use the market-leading Viora Laser Hair System for all our procedures. All laser hair removal is carried out by a certified laser specialist.
During your procedure, the specialist will press the Viora instrument to your skin. To limit discomfort, especially if large or sensitive areas are being treated, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to the site to reduce any discomfort.
The near-infrared laser light produced by the system passes through the skin’s surface and is absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicle. The laser energy is absorbed by the hair follicle and converted into heat, which damages the hair’s ability to grow. The damaged hair root is then expelled or absorbed by the body.
During the procedure, you may feel mild discomfort, akin to a rubber band snapping the skin with a temporary stinging sensation for a few moments afterward. Most people tolerate the procedure well. As stated above, an anesthetic cream can be applied to reduce discomfort.
Laser hair removal is most effective for people who have light skin and dark hair. However, it can be successfully used on all skin types.
Temporary hair loss almost always occurs after each laser treatment, regardless of hair color. However, the laser’s effectiveness for permanent hair reduction is strongly correlated with hair color.
Light-colored hair patients are less likely to experience a permanent hair reduction compared to those with darker hair. Hair loss in these patients can be maintained by treatment at approximately three-month intervals. We also offer effective laser hair removal for dark skin.
Laser hair removal works by disabling hairs that are in their active growth phase at the time of treatment. Since other hairs will enter the growth phase at different times, several treatments are necessary to disable all hair follicles in a given area. We can discuss this further with you during your free consultation.
Following multiple, appropriately timed treatments, a long-term growth delay is typically seen. Many patients obtain permanent hair removal, but some people require periodic touch-up treatments to keep unwanted hair away.
Following several treatments, any remaining hair is much finer, lighter, and more cosmetically acceptable than before treatment.
More and more people in the United States are turning to laser hair removal as a more efficient and longer-lasting solution to waxing or shaving. Statistics show that women currently account for 80% of procedures, though the number of men who choose laser hair removal is growing each year.
Laser hair removal is popular across all groups. The 40-55-year-old age category accounts for approximately 35% of all laser hair removal procedures. They are followed by the 30-39-year-old age category at 29%. An increasing number of people aged 55+ are choosing to undergo laser hair removal each year.
Laser hair removal is the best option for those who wish to remove unwanted hair from their face or body. At Renew Wellness & Aesthetics, we offer the most advanced and safest hair removal in Oklahoma City. If you are looking for a more permanent solution to shaving or waxing, laser hair removal from Renew Wellness & Aesthetics is the right option for you.
The cost of laser hair removal treatment varies, depending primarily upon the size of the area you wish to have treated. During your free consultation, our expert team will be happy to give you a cost estimate. As laser hair removal is considered a cosmetic procedure in the vast majority of cases, treatment is not covered by insurance. We do provide package discounts and financing.
Following a single treatment, most hairs do not regrow for one to three months (or more), depending upon the type of hair and its location. Because the laser only treats hair follicles that are actively growing, several treatments are necessary. Following multiple, appropriately timed treatments, a long-term growth delay is typically seen. Many patients obtain permanent hair removal, but some people require periodic touch-up treatments to keep unwanted hair away. Following several treatments, any remaining hair is much finer, lighter, and more cosmetically acceptable than prior to treatment.
No treatment to remove unwanted hair is completely painless. Patients who have undergone repeated waxing or hours of electrolysis can attest to the pain caused by commonly used methods of hair removal. Treatments may feel like a rubber band snapping the skin with a temporary stinging sensation for a few moments afterward, but most people tolerate the procedure well. If large or sensitive areas with unwanted hair are to be treated, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to the site to further reduce any discomfort.
Immediately after treatment, the area will be somewhat swollen, appearing slightly red in color and will feel like a mild sunburn. This reaction subsides over a few hours, and then the treated sites usually return to their normal appearance. The amount of discomfort after this procedure is usually minimal and does not limit most normal physical activities. Since light is used to remove the hair, there is no bleeding and no open wound is created. For this reason, there is no need to apply a bandage and wound care is generally not required.
In the vast majority of cases, patients experience only temporary redness in the treated area. Occasionally, swelling or bruising, and infrequently a blister may appear.
In rare cases, the treated area may heal with a temporary light or dark coloration which disappears after several weeks. Scarring or permanent skin discoloration is remotely possible but fortunately is extremely rare.
Normal activities can be resumed immediately after treatment. All treated areas should be protected from sunlight between treatments and for several weeks after the final treatment. Makeup and self-tanning creams may be used as desired. Sunless tanning products must be discontinued 1 week prior to treatment.

Compared to electrolysis, laser hair removal is a faster, less painful process. It is also a safer, gentler, and more effective alternative to waxing. Laser hair removal also eliminates the after-effects of shaving, including redness and ingrown hair.
The duration of a laser hair removal procedure varies depending on the area that is being treated. Small areas, including the upper lip, may take only a few minutes. Larger areas, including the back, take longer.
Laser hair removal provides long-lasting results. Following a single treatment, most hairs do not regrow for one to three months (or more), depending on the type of hair and its location. Following multiple treatments, many patients obtain permanent hair removal. If required, periodic touch-ups are also available to keep unwanted hair away.
Normal activities can be resumed immediately following treatment. In the majority of cases, the treated area has only a temporary redness which disappears quickly.
The following information will help you to prepare for laser hair removal treatment, as well as what to expect in the hours, days, and weeks following your treatment.
Before the Procedure
During your free consultation, we will discuss with you the various measures you can take to best prepare for your treatment.
Shaving the specific treatment area is recommended the day before your procedure. Smooth and clean shaving before the treatment session will increase the effectiveness and overall comfort of the treatment. Shaving removes hair above the skin, reducing the risk of surface skin damage from burnt hairs.
It is also recommended to avoid other hair removal methods for at least four weeks before your treatment. These include waxing, plucking, and electrolysis, which can all disturb the hair follicle.
Also, we recommend that you avoid direct sun exposure two weeks before (and after) each treatment. This helps to prevent pigmented changes of the skin. Sunless tanning products should be discontinued one week before treatment.
Following the Procedure
Hairs do not fall out immediately following treatment. Rather you will shed them over a period of days to weeks.
In the first few hours following treatment, you may notice redness and swelling in the treated area. Ice can be applied to the treated area to reduce any discomfort. Treated areas should be protected from sunlight between treatments and for several weeks after the final treatment. Makeup and self-tanning creams can be used as desired.
