Enjoy Smooth, Hairless Skin
Do you feel like you’re wasting time consistently shaving unwanted body hair? You can throw your razor away and put down the hot wax, because at the Institute for Hormonal Balance, we offer a lasting solution to unwanted hair. With laser hair removal in Arlington, we can remove body hair so you can enjoy effortlessly smooth skin.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal targets the pigment in and blood flow to the hair follicle, or the base of the hair. The laser emits light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair which converts to heat and damages the hair follicles which diminishes the ability of these follicles to produce new hairs
With multiple treatments, we can keep new follicles from sprouting hair, causing a permanent reduction of unwanted body hair.

What to Expect
When you arrive for your laser hair removal appointment, we can trim the hair in the treatment areas, but we really prefer for the hair to be trimmed at home prior to your visit. Then, we glide the laser above the treatment area, to deliver treatment evenly.
Once your laser hair removal session is over, we can help you schedule additional appointments. Your provider will then let you know when you can expect to see results and give you all the aftercare instructions you need.
