Superior, Comfortable Laser Hair Removal
Are you tired of shaving, waxing and plucking? Laser Hair Removal provides patients the permanent removal of unwanted hair using advanced laser light energy, which destroys the follicles and eliminates hair growth forever. At Womens Wellness Institute of Dallas, we use the most modern laser platform, which has the capacity to focus either of two types of light directly on the unwanted follicles. The darkest hairs respond best to Laser Hair Removal, and all the targeted hairs fall out completely in a matter of days. This common procedure was approved by the FDA in 1997 for “permanent hair reduction” and laser technology has advanced dramatically since then, affording the patient a much safer, more comfortable and effective experience. Millions of women have used this quick, painless option to replace irritating stubble with silky, smooth skin.
excel HR Cutera Laser
At Women’s Wellness Institute of Dallas, we use the excel HR Cutera Laser, which is considered the gold standard for superior and comfortable Laser Hair Removal. This advanced devise combines the best aspects of two separate laser technologies.
The 755 nm Alexandrite laser is the most effective treatment for dark hairs on skin types I-IV (pale to medium complexions). The 1064 nm Nd:YAG is the premier wavelength for permanent hair reduction on darker skin types V-VI, or tanned skin. The handpiece is equipped with a sapphire contact cooling plate to ensure patient comfort.
In addition, this Cutera Laser provides both a small, focused beam to treat small areas such as underarms and bikini lines, as well as a larger beam, which allows wide areas such as arms and legs to be treated more uniformly and efficiently. Full results are generally seen after 3-6 treatments, and periodic maintenance is sometimes required.

Common Questions Asked about excel HR Hair Removal Treatments
How many treatments does it take to clear an area?
5
Should I expect to be hair free in the treated area after the series of treatments?
No, most patients experience an 80-90 % reduction in the amount of hair.
Will my hair be gone immediately after the procedure?
No, the hair will be shed for 1-3 weeks.
What color hair can be treated?
The laser works best on dark hair. It does not work well on blond, gray, red, or white hair because it does not absorb laser energy due to lack of pigment. We can attempt to treat light hair, however, we often recommend doing a test spot first.
Can dark hair & skin be treated?
Yes. Our advanced laser technology allows us to treat any skin type safely and effectively.
Why must patients not bleach, wax, pluck, or use electrolysis for 6 weeks prior to treatment?
The hairlaser
Why must tanning be avoided for 6 weeks before & after treatment?
We do not treat tanned skin. Increased melanin (pigment) in the skin decreases the effectiveness of treatment and also makes it more likely that the patient will experience hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, or blistering from the laser treatment. This includes sunless tanning products and sprays.
Should I shave before treatment?
Yes, we request that you shave any areas you want treated the morning of or 24 hours before treatment. Surface hair increases the risk of a burn and uses laser energy that will then not go to the root of the hair follicle.
Can any area of the body be treated?
Yes, with the exception of eyelashes due to the danger of eye injury.
Does the treatment hurt?
There is a stinging sensation felt during treatment that many patients find comparable to the pain of waxing or electrolysis. We do offer a topical anesthetic prior to treatment, if desired.
How long will the actual treatment take?
Underarms, back of the neck, and bikini areas are usually treated in approximately 5-10 minutes, while large areas like full legs or back can take up to an hour.
What will the treated area look like immediately after treatment?
The skin will have some erythema (redness), and the hair follicles will swell, looking like goose bumps for approximately 1-2 hours, and up to a couple of days in some patients.
How long will it be before I see hair regrowth in the treated areas?
It may be anywhere from 3 weeks to 4 months before any regrowth is observed. After each treatment some hair (approximately 20-30 %) will not regrow.
What are possible side effects of laser hair removal?
Blistering, bruising, hyperpigmentation (darkening), or hypopigmentation (lightening) of the skin. We will assess your risks of these complications, and will perform a test spot at your first visit if we feel you are at any risk.
What is a “test spot” & why is it performed?
Test spotsvarious laser energy levels
Does insurance cover laser hair removal?
