Introduction
Good news for patients across the Madison and Milwaukee areas: laser hair removal is available for you right from our Oconomoc office. For those who are tired of shaving, waxing, plucking, and every other inconvenient or painful way of removing hair, laser hair removal provides the perfect solution. Our providers offer this treatment in a number of different areas across the body so that you can live your life without the constant touch-ups or worries of having unwanted hair. Instead, enjoy smooth, bare skin for years to come.
Laser hair removal is an excellent option for individuals seeking to remove unwanted hair from their face and body. This treatment is minimally painful. While this solution is not completely permanent for every patient, it can last many years, much longer than shaving or waxing. It is a great solution to reduce ingrown hairs and for people who have sensitive skin/skin irritation after shaving or waxing.
Introduction
Using a handheld laser, the device passes over the treatment area through the skin to the hair follicles, inhibiting hair growth. Laser hair removal typically requires between two and twelve treatments, depending on the treatment area and the hair color and thickness.

There are many areas all over the face and body where laser hair removal can be performed. Some areas may require more treatments than others based on hair thickness and growth.

Unlike traditional hair reduction devices that apply energy one pulse at a time, Forever Bare™ BBL uses motion technology to deliver a low fluence in multiple pulses, protecting the skin while progressively raising the follicle temperature to the optimal level for hair removal. Re-engineered cooling enables constant motion treatments without allowing the crystal temperature to fluctuate. This produces better, more consistent results.
Laser hair removal offers a long-lasting solution for reducing or eliminating unwanted hair on virtually any area of the body. One of its biggest benefits is precision, since laser technology targets hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin. Over time, hair grows back finer, lighter, and sparser, eventually leading to smooth, hair-free skin with minimal maintenance. Many patients also find relief from irritation caused by shaving or waxing, such as ingrown hairs or razor burn. With repeated treatments, laser hair removal saves time, reduces the need for daily upkeep, and offers the convenience of lasting results.
Individuals around Madison and Milwaukee with darker hair and lighter skin tones tend to make the best candidates, as the laser targets pigment in the hair follicle. However, advances in laser technology have expanded the range of safe and effective treatments for more skin types and tones. Ideal candidates are those looking for a long-term reduction in hair growth in areas like the face, legs, underarms, bikini line, or back. Candidates should also be free of active skin infections and not currently using medications that cause light sensitivity. A consultation helps determine if the treatment is right for your unique skin and hair type.
Laser hair removal needs a consultation with a licensed provider. During this visit in our Oconomowoc office, we will assess your skin tone, hair type, and desired treatment areas. You’ll also discuss your goals, medical history, and how many sessions may be needed to achieve the best results. Most patients around Madison and Milwaukee require a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart for optimal hair reduction. If you’re a good candidate, your first treatment can often be scheduled during the same appointment or shortly after.
On the day of your appointment, just outside of Milwaukee, the treatment area will be cleansed, and you’ll be provided with protective eyewear. Most providers recommend shaving the area 24 hours beforehand to help the laser better target the hair follicle. During the procedure, a handheld device emits pulses of laser energy that target and damage the follicles responsible for hair growth. You may feel a mild snapping or warming sensation, but discomfort is generally minimal and brief. Sessions are quick, and you’ll be able to return to your normal routine with little to no downtime.
The recovery time for laser hair removal is minimal, and most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. There may be some mild swelling and irritation for a couple of hours after the procedure. Wearing sunscreen after your treatment will help reduce irritation to the treated area(s).
Results will not appear right away. Instead, the hair will fall out on its own after a couple of days or weeks. Results can vary significantly, lasting anywhere from several months to several years, depending on the individual.
The cost of laser hair removal in the Milwaukee and Madison area will vary depending on the treatment areas, but on average, patients can expect their treatment to run between $100 and $450 a session. Whether you’re a new patient or coming back for a touch-up, our team will ensure the best possible pricing in the area. When you come in for your consultation, your provider will examine the areas you’d like to treat and give you a better understanding of the number of sessions you will require to achieve your hairless goals!
