Laser hair removal works best on the underarms, legs, bikini line, and face. Areas near the eyes and tattooed skin should be avoided. Estelle Hixon, PA-C at MDCS Dermatology ensures safe, effective results with personalized treatment plans.
Laser hair removal is one of the most effective ways to achieve long-term hair reduction. At MDCS Dermatology, Estelle Hixon, PA-C offers expert guidance on the most effective treatment zones—and which areas to avoid.
Top Areas to Treat
1. Underarms
Quick to treat and highly responsive to laser, this area sees excellent results and can reduce the irritation often caused by shaving.
2. Bikini Line and Brazilian
Laser hair removal here helps minimize ingrown hairs and irritation, providing smoother skin and less maintenance.
3. Legs
Lower legs, full legs, or thighs respond well to laser treatments. Larger surface areas may require slightly more time per session.
4. Upper Lip and Chin
Ideal for targeting hormonal hair growth with precision and minimal discomfort.
5. Back and Chest
Common for male patients, these areas can be safely treated to reduce dense or unwanted hair over time.
Areas to Use Caution or Avoid
1. Around the Eyes
The skin here is delicate and laser treatments near the eyes pose a safety risk. Avoid treating brows or eyelids.
2. Tattooed Skin
Lasers can cause burns or pigment changes on tattooed areas. Your provider will work around tattoos to keep the skin safe.
3. Very Light or Gray Hair
Laser targets pigment in the hair, so results may be less effective on blonde, red, gray, or white hair.
