Fact vs. Fiction: Laser Hair Removal
Are you tired of the endless struggle with unwanted hair? Laser hair removal might be the solution you’ve been searching for! With so much information out there, separating fact from fiction can feel like navigating a maze. Don’t worry– we’re here to shed light on the truth about laser hair removal and empower you to make informed decisions about this transformative procedure.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Imagine saying goodbye to shaving, waxing, and plucking, and embracing a life free from unwanted hair! Laser hair removal makes this dream a reality by targeting hair follicles using concentrated light beams. These beams are absorbed by the pigment in the hair, converting into heat that damages the follicle and slows down future hair growth.

Laser Hair Removal Myths Debunked
Myth: Laser hair removal is extremely painful.
Fact: Laser hair removal isn’t as painful as you might think. Most patients describe the sensation as tolerable, equivalent to a gentle rubber band snap against the skin. Plus, topical anesthetics are available to ease any discomfort, making the process far less painful than traditional methods like waxing or tweezing.
The Motus AZ+ system we use at Montgomery Laser and Skin Spa sets itself apart by gradually heating the targeted area while in continuous motion, eliminating the sharp snapping sensation often associated with other laser hair removal devices.
Myth: Laser hair removal sessions take a long time.
Fact: While session duration varies based on the treatment area and individual needs, laser hair removal is generally a quick process ranging from a few minutes to an hour. You can fit it into your busy schedule without hassle!
Myth: Laser hair removal is too expensive.
Fact: The cost of laser hair removal varies depending on factors such as the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions required. It may require more of an initial investment, but many people find laser hair removal to be a worthwhile investment in long-term convenience and confidence.

Fact: Laser hair removal can be performed on virtually any part of the body where unwanted hair is present, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, chest, and back.
Myth: Laser hair removal is not suitable for all skin types and hair colors.
Fact: Laser hair removal is suitable for a wide range of skin types and hair colors. However, it is most effective on individuals with lighter skin and darker hair, as the laser targets the pigment in the hair follicles.
Myth: Laser hair removal is not safe.
Fact: Thanks to technological advancements, laser hair removal is safe and effective for all skin types. The most common side effects of laser hair removal include temporary redness, swelling, and mild irritation in the treated areas. Serious side effects are rare when the procedure is performed by a reputable provider using appropriate settings for your skin type.
Myth: Laser hair removal is only for women.
Fact: Laser hair removal is increasingly popular among men seeking a long-term solution to unwanted hair. Men commonly undergo laser hair removal to target areas such as the back, chest, shoulders, neck, and face, including the beard and sideburns.
Myth: Laser hair removal is permanent.
Fact: While laser hair removal offers amazing long-lasting results, it’s essential to understand that complete permanence may vary from person to person based on hormonal factors, hair thickness, skin color, and the treatment area. Achieving optimal results usually requires multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart.
As you progress through your laser hair removal sessions with Motus AZ + at Montgomery Laser and Skin Spa, you’ll notice a gradual decrease in hair thickness and density. Each session brings you closer to smoother skin, with most individuals experiencing a 10% to 25% reduction in hair after the first treatment. Depending on your hair type and other factors, you may need up to six sessions to achieve your desired results.
Laser hair removal offers a safe, effective, and convenient solution for achieving smoother, hair-free skin. At Montgomery Laser and Skin Spa, we’re here to support you every step of the way, helping you achieve the smooth, confident skin you deserve.
