Laser Hair Removal in Austin, TX: A Smooth Solution at Snyder Dermatology

Tired of endless shaving, waxing, or plucking? Laser hair removal offers a modern, long-term solution for silky-smooth skin. At Snyder Dermatology in Austin, we manage highly trained providers who specialize in laser hair removal, ensuring safe, effective, and personalized treatments using cutting-edge technology.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Laser hair removal targets hair follicles with concentrated light energy, disabling growth while protecting surrounding skin. Our practice uses the Icon Laser System by Palomar, an FDA-approved device known for:

• Precision: Safely treats dark, coarse hair across skin tones.
• Speed: Small areas (like the upper lip) take minutes; larger zones (legs, back) require under an hour.
• Comfort: Built-in cooling technology minimizes discomfort.

Key Benefits

• Long-lasting results: Up to 90% hair reduction after 6–8 sessions.
• No downtime: Resume daily activities immediately.
• Skin health: Reduces ingrown hairs and irritation from traditional methods.
• Versatility: Effective on the face, underarms, bikini line, legs, and more.

Ideal Candidates

The treatment works best for individuals with dark hair and light to medium skin tones. Recent advancements also allow safe treatment for darker skin types. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your hair and skin to ensure optimal results.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

Laser hair removal is classified as hair reduction, meaning it significantly decreases hair growth over time but does not guarantee complete and permanent removal. Some hair may return, though it is often finer and lighter. Periodic maintenance treatments may be required.

Looking for Permanent Hair Removal?

For individuals with grey, white, or very light hair, or those seeking a truly permanent solution, electrolysis is available. Unlike laser treatments, electrolysis permanently destroys the hair follicle using a fine needle and electrical current. This method is FDA-approved for permanent hair removal and works on all hair colors. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to enhance comfort during the procedure.

What About Hair in a Mole?

If you have unwanted hair growing from a mole, it’s important to have it evaluated by our dermatology team first. If it is safe for removal, we may recommend electrolysis or another suitable method.
