What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Hair removal with a laser is one of the most common elective treatments in America. It is an effective method for the long-term reduction of hair follicles on the face and body. This treatment frequently leaves the skin feeling and looking smoother while providing great, lasting results compared to other common options. At Capstone Vision & Aesthetics, we employ the Harmony® XL PRO laser to focus on and disable hair follicles using heat and preventing them from growing back. Board-certified ophthalmologist Dr. Leslie Emmert-Buck and her highly trained team perform safe and fast laser hair removal services for individuals in Auburn Hills, MI. Laser hair removal works on common areas, including the back, legs, arms, face, armpits, and bikini area.
What Is Our Laser Hair Removal Technique?
On the day of your laser hair removal appointment, you will be asked to lie in a private treatment room as the needed areas of your skin are cleaned to remove dirt, oil, and lotion. During laser hair removal, a technician will slightly stretch the area to create a direct path between the hair follicle root and the laser. The laser beam will focus on and destroy the hair follicle, preventing the hair from growing back. Typically, you will need a few sessions over a period of a month or longer to see your ideal results. Your appointments will be staggered to allow the treated areas time to heal. This also allows time for follicles in the dormant phase to cycle into the active growth phase so the laser can be effective. The state-of-the-art technology we use at Capstone Vision & Aesthetics targets only the hair follicle, preserving the skin and other tissue in the treatment area.

Capstone Vision & Aesthetics Reviews
Dr. Emmert-Buck and staff are amazing. Needed cataract surgery and they walked me thru every step of the way. I also had Lasik performed to correct my nearsightedness. No more glasses or contacts!!! Fantastic Surgeon! Thank you Capstone.
Went in for LASIK consult and we settled on PRK as the path forward. Honestly the best money I think I've ever spent, both in terms of the procedure and who handled the operation. Dr. Emmert-Buck and her staff are all so wonderfully attentive and personable. There was even a self-caused issue after the procedure and Dr. Emmert-Buck was quick with being able to meet me the day it happened and help me resolve the issue. If I ever need touch ups later on in life, I know where I'm going!
Came in for LASIK consult and did PRK with Dr. Leslie Emmert-Buck. She is very nice and reliable person. Happy with what I did and highly recommended.
My visit to get a biannual check up was great. The exams started on time and procedures were explained along the way. Dr. Emmert-Buck explained results of the various exams. The entire team offered a great experience.
Hi I saw Dr Leslie for my Keracornus. She, and her staff we're very nice, patient, and explained in detail about my disease and what options were available. She referred me to kellog eye Institute if I decided to do surgery. She even called at 6pm to let me know that where I stood on the referral. Her receptionist Tanya was so nice. Her assistant was very nice. I thank her for being honest and being very patient. Diane A

Laser Hair Removal FAQ
How much does laser hair removal cost?
Laser hair removal is a procedure that varies in cost depending on the size and number of areas being treated, as well as how many treatment sessions you will need to attain a smooth result. To help you understand the benefits of laser hair removal, think of the time and energy you are putting into waxing, shaving, or other methods. In comparison, laser hair removal is generally cheaper and will save you time and energy in the long term. We will develop a treatment plan that includes the total number of sessions you need and costs.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Considered an effective treatment, laser hair removal produces long-lasting results. While you can enjoy the benefits of the procedure for years, it's technically semi-permanent since some hair follicles may not be affected by the laser. However, patients find most of their hair follicles are gone once their treatment plan has concluded, and if a few hairs pop up, it is easier to manage. Additional laser treatments can also be scheduled to address any stragglers or new growth.
Why do I need multiple laser hair removal sessions?
Hair growth happens in cycles. When some hair follicles are growing, others are resting. Since each hair follicle is in various stages, several treatments are recommended to target each one when it is in a growing phase. Spreading out your sessions over a few weeks can help you get better, smoother results.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Your laser hair removal session can cause minor discomfort but isn't considered painful. Most patients should feel a slight sting as the laser zaps each hair follicle. Your technician may apply a local anesthetic to the skin's surface before starting your treatment session. Clients who are used to getting waxed think laser hair removal feels more comfortable than waxing.
