Laser-Targeted Hair Removal

Laser hair removal in McKinney uses laser light energy of unique wavelengths. Adjustments to wavelengths give providers flexibility when treating hair of different coarseness and skin of diverse tones.

The skin’s melanin absorbs light emitted during treatment, converting it into heat. With repeated instances of heat, hair follicles will stop producing hair until new follicles take their place.

What to Expect at an Appointment

The Dermatology Center of McKinney prides itself on creating individualized plans for every patient. When patients come in for a consultation, Dr. Ralston will get a sense of who they are and recommend skin treatments to best serve them.

For laser hair removal in McKinney, he might recommend the Splendor X treatment. During a consultation, he’ll draft a personalized treatment plan to remove unwanted hair: leg, pit, brow, back, and elsewhere.

Patients lie down comfortably during treatment. The practice provides protective eyewear to shield patient eyes from the bright light emitted during treatment. Dr. Ralston will then mark the treated area to help guide his eyes.

At this point, the patient will feel Splendor X’s dual laser pulses pulse up and down their treated area as he moves the laser tip across it. The square beam makes it easy to destroy hair follicles effectively, efficiently, and uniformly. Additionally, the device jets cooled air onto the treatment area to optimize patient comfort.
After treatment, the patient’s skin will feel slightly hot and sting slightly. This will go away in time. Dr. Ralston will provide post care instructions and help them to schedule future appointments.
