Am I a Good Candidate For Laser Hair Removal?
Most people who are tired of unwanted hair are good candidates for laser hair removal. This laser procedure is safe for men and women of all colors. However, since the laser targets darker pigments, the procedure typically works best on people with lighter skin and dark hair. The best way to know if you are a good candidate for laser hair removal is to set up a consultation at our Reno, NV, office.
The Laser Hair Removal Process What to Expect
The hair removal procedure will take place in our Reno, NV, office. It is quick and virtually painless.
"Patients will see results immediately following their laser hair removal treatment."
Are There Any Side Effects? What Happens After Laser Hair Removal?
It is normal to have some redness and swelling immediately following your treatment, but it should subside within a few hours. More adverse side effects like skin pigmentation changes, burns, blisters, and infections are very rare. A board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. James E. Murphy will know how to reduce the risk of these side effects by customizing your treatment.
Protecting Your Skin From the Sun
Before Treatment
Exposure to the sun tans the skin and lightens hair, both of which can have a negative impact on the results of your laser hair removal treatment. Before your treatment, Dr. James E. Murphy recommends avoiding sun exposure, wearing protective clothing, and using sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.After Treatment
After receiving your treatment, you should avoid sun exposure for about two weeks to allow your skin time to heal and to reduce the risk of developing skin concerns like hyperpigmentation.Smooth Skin That Lasts From a Professional You Can Trust

I have been going to Jeri at Murphy Plastic Surgery for a few years now. Jeri is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to all of the treatments offered, in particular, laser procedures. I started coming here to have a tattoo removed. Soon after, I continued on with other laser treatments. The picosure facial is one of my favorites. I find Jeri to be very cautious yet aggressive enough to always leave with great results. If you are considering a treatment such as tattoo removal or facial laser treatments, I highly recommend Jeri. Although I have not seen anyone else at this practice, I feel comfortable enough here that I have scheduled a corrective surgery for my son with Dr. Murphy. Highly recommend!
View on GoogleReceiving Touch-Up Treatments
Following your initial treatments, you may experience hair regrowth in a few months to a few years, though hairs are typically finer, thinner, slower-growing, and significantly more sparse. We recommend one to two touch-up sessions each year or as needed to maintain your results.
Laser Hair Removal ON DARKER SKIN TONES
In the past, only people with dark hair and light skin tones were eligible candidates for safe laser hair removal. Fortunately, developments in this field have allowed people with darker skin tones to receive safe and effective laser hair removal without significant risk of complications. During your consultation, Dr. James E. Murphy will determine if you’re a good candidate for this treatment or if another hair removal treatment would be more effective.
