Forget the razor and wax and take the easy way to smooth, silky, rash-free skin with laser hair removal!
Think of how much time you spend shaving your legs in the shower, only for that hair to keep coming back, and you then have that porcupine feeling within days. That isn’t even considering that dreaded razor rash, especially in those sensitive areas. Oh, the joys of grooming! And let’s not even get started with the struggles of waxing. It might provide longer-lasting results but comes at the cost of pain. What’s a man or woman to do?
You can continue this cycle, wasting time and money while itching and scratching. Or you can take a more permanent solution to preening — laser hair removal from Dr. Shel. It’s a no-hassle, simple option to get rid of hair in places where you don’t want it. Using precision and advanced equipment, our specialist can have your bathing suit ready all year long in a couple of sessions. And it’s not just bathing suit ready either because we can administer it to various locations, including above your lips.
This non-invasive solution is safe to use in a number of areas and is about as uncomplicated as possible on your end.
With laser hair removal in Sugar Land, TX, you can get long-term results and a freshly shaven feel every day without knicks, cuts, or burning.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal in Sugar Land
Once you have laser hair removal, you’ll never want to go back to shaving or waxing, nor will you have to. Enjoy the many benefits of this treatment, including:
No More Razor Rash:
When you ditch the razor, you also ditch the razor rash. With laser treatment, most have minimal side effects and are almost always temporary, so there isn’t the recurring issue of razor rash.
Minimal Discomfort:
Unlike waxing, which is always painful no matter how many times you do it, laser hair removal causes minimal discomfort. Our Fotona’s Nd: YAG laser even has a built-in cooling system to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment further.
More Affordable Over Time:
The initial price might seem steep, but you can save money over time, considering just how long you’ll be removing unwanted hair.
Time-Saving:
Save yourself time on grooming! No more regular trips to the salon or minutes wasted shaving!
Convenient:
Hair removal with us is super convenient. You lie back and do nothing while the laser does all the work.
Smooth Skin Always:
Though you may need maintenance treatments, your skin will remain soft and ready for shorts, a swimsuit, or to be bare!
Confidence Boosting:
If hair makes you feel self-conscious, our hair removal treatment will be a self-esteem lift.
Fewer Ingrown Hairs:
Laser hair removal stops hair growth at the source (the root), preventing new hair growth, which equals fewer ingrown hairs.
How Does Laser Hair Removal in Sugar Land Work?
Scheduling a hair removal appointment at Dr. Shel Wellness & Aesthetic Center in Sugar Land, TX, means smooth and hairless is right around the bend.
We use advanced laser technology to get to the heart of the problem and leave your skin sleek and polished. On average, after six to eight sessions, you’ll have touchable skin for quite some time. Some patients have permanent results, especially with a maintenance session or two each year. However, you may only need two treatments for small areas, such as above your lip.
At Dr. Shel Wellness & Aesthetic Center, we use Fotona’s Nd: YAG laser. It works by directing light energy to the hair. The pigmentation of the hair absorbs it, which explains why those with darker hair receive superior results. The heat travels to the hair follicle and damages it, rendering it more and more non-functional with each session.
Because the treatment is so precise, we can target the hair without harming any of the surrounding tissue.

What to Expect During Treatment
Our practitioner will discuss your medical history and assess the area to ensure your laser hair removal is proper.
In the first four to six weeks before treatment, we ask you not to pluck or wax because these hair removal methods damage the follicle and root. You can still shave, though. In fact, we recommend you shave within 24 hours before the treatment so the laser can directly target the follicle.
On your treatment day, we’ll prep you by giving you protective eyewear to shield your eyes from damage from the laser. We’ll also ask if you want a numbing agent before we start the treatment. Not to mention, our laser does have a cooling system that numbs the skin, and most patients tolerate the treatment well anyway. The treatment can cause a stinging sensation, often described as a rubber band being lightly snapped on the skin.
At the start of the treatment, Dr. Shel will alter the laser settings based on the hair’s color, thickness, and location. Then, our physician will initiate the treatment by directing the applicator to the site. Our practitioner will redirect the applicator numerous times to treat the whole area, often passing over the same regions multiple times.
The time it takes for one session depends on the size of the treatment site. On average, though, it’s usually between 10 minutes and one hour. For larger areas, you’ll need multiple sessions spaced out every four to six weeks.
Afterward, you may have some redness or warmth for the first few hours. You may use an ice pack or cold compress to ease any discomfort.
Is Laser Hair Removal Right for Me?
If you’d like a long-lasting solution for hair removal, laser hair removal may be appropriate for you. People with light skin and dark, coarse hair see the best results. These individuals receive the optimal outcomes because of the contrast between their skin and hair. Darker-colored hair better absorbs light energy, and coarse hair is a better target.
With that said, you can receive the treatment no matter your hair and skin color, but you should understand that the results may not be exactly what you desire.
You shouldn’t have the treatment if any of these apply to you:
- Are pregnant
- Have an active skin infection at the treatment site
- Are on a photosensitive medication, such as certain antibiotics
- Have or had skin cancer
At your consultation, we’ll ask you to complete a medical history report to determine your eligibility.

Common Questions About Laser Hair Removal
Every patient responds differently to the treatment. But in general, laser hair removal causes minimal discomfort. You may feel a bit of stinging, but we take steps to make it as comfortable as can be using a laser with a cooling system and a numbing agent (if you choose).
Laser hair removal may cause some side effects, like redness, swelling, and discomfort at the treatment site. These, however, are temporary and usually minor. Some people do experience a permanent skin pigment change at the site, but this is rare.
This is a decision only you can make. We’re able to perform this, and you could benefit from no longer needing to shave or wax there.
Whatever results you have at the time will remain but no further progress will happen.
If you’re pregnant, have had or have skin cancer, or are taking a photosensitive medication, you shouldn’t receive laser hair removal.
The results of laser hair removal vary drastically from person to person. Some people experience longer-lasting results than others, but many experience effects that last for years. You can also come back routinely for maintenance treatments.
