What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal has become one of the most common cosmetic treatments in America. It is a convenient option for the long-term reduction or removal of hair on the face and/or body. Using Catessa™ Motus technology, this procedure usually leaves the skin looking and feeling smoother and produces long-lasting results compared to other hair removal options. Dr. Vincent E. Voci and his aesthetic team at Voci Plastic Surgery in Charlotte, NC perform safe and effective laser hair removal treatments for women and men in common areas, including the back, legs, arms, face, armpits, and bikini area.

Who is a Candidate for laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a gentle procedure that is helpful for many people. In your initial consultation, we will talk about your concerns, needs, and goals so we can decide if you are a good candidate for the procedure. Ideal candidates for laser hair removal treatments:
- Have unwanted hair on their face or body
- Are tired of other techniques for hair removal (waxing, shaving, depilatory creams, bleaching)
- Have dark hair and light skin
- Are in overall good physical health
How does Laser Hair Removal work?
At your laser hair removal appointment, you will lie in one of our treatment rooms as the needed areas of your skin are cleaned to remove dirt, oil, and creams. During laser hair removal, a team member will stretch out the skin to provide a clear path between the root of the hair follicle and the laser. The laser's energy will target and kill the follicle, which prevents it from growing back. Usually, you will need 3 – 5 treatments over 3 – 4 weeks to get your optimal results. Your treatments are staggered to allow the affected areas time to recover. It also allows time for hair follicles in the dormant phase to reach the phase of active growth so the laser can be effective. The state-of-the-art laser hair removing technology we use at Voci Plastic Surgery is able to target only the hair follicle, preserving the skin in the area being treated.
What can I Expect after laser hair removal?
While this procedure is relatively gentle, your skin may look like it has a light sunburn since lasers are used. When you leave our office, you are able to go back to all normal activities, but you should refrain from exercise or extended time outdoors for a period of a day to let the treated skin heal. When you get home after your treatment, we recommend soothing creams or cold packs to alleviate any discomfort.
