How It Works

  1. 1Light Energy: The laser emits a pulse of light that passes through the skin
  2. 2Targeting: The light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle
  3. 3Heat Action: Light energy converts to heat, damaging the follicle
  4. 4Growth Inhibition: The damage prevents or significantly delays future hair growth

Benefits

  • Hair Reduction Over Time: Significant reduction in hair growth that may improve with each session in the treatment series
  • Smoother Skin: Eliminates stubble, ingrown hairs, and razor bumps — many patients notice smoother texture between sessions
  • Speed & Comfort: Treatment times range from 5 minutes for the upper lip to under an hour for larger areas, with built-in cooling for comfort
  • Versatile: Designed for a wide range of skin types and tones, including darker skin — the Cutera XEO laser adjusts to your specific skin characteristics
  • Reduced Maintenance: Over a treatment series, shaving and waxing frequency typically decreases significantly
  • Precision: The laser targets hair follicles without damaging surrounding skin, making it suitable for sensitive areas like the face and bikini line

Procedure Details

  • Areas: Legs, back, chest, face, underarms, bikini area
  • Duration: 5-60 minutes depending on the area
  • Sessions: 6-8 treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart

Candidacy and Safety Review

A consultation reviews medical history, medications, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, prior procedures, skin type, healing history, and the timing of events or travel before a treatment plan is recommended.

Laser Pre-Care and Post-Care

  • Avoid tanning and tell the clinic about recent sun exposure before laser sessions.
  • Use daily SPF and follow product restrictions while treated skin is healing.
  • Do not wax, pluck, or thread before hair-removal sessions because the follicle needs to remain available for targeting.
  • Report a history of pigment changes, keloids, cold sores, photosensitizing medications, or recent isotretinoin use.

Session Plan by Area

  • Many plans use 6 to 8 sessions, but hormonal areas such as the face may need longer maintenance.
  • Large body areas such as back, chest, legs, and arms may require more appointment time than upper lip or underarms.
  • Maintenance sessions may be recommended as new follicles cycle into growth.

Local Service Area

  • Laser service visits in Lancaster can cover laser hair removal, tattoo removal, acne laser care, rosacea, spider veins, IPL-style rejuvenation, and age spot treatment.
  • The consultation reviews skin tone, sun exposure, treatment area, timing, and safety considerations for patients from Palmdale and the Antelope Valley.

What is the cost of XEO laser hair removal?

The cost varies depending on the area being treated and the number of treatments needed.

Do you offer laser hair removal for different skin types?

Yes. KMHCS uses Cutera XEO technology for a wide range of skin types and tones, including darker skin tones. Settings are adjusted based on skin tone, hair color, hair thickness, and treatment area.
