Laser Hair Removal in Englewood, CO

What Is Cutera xeo Laser Hair Removal?

The xeo laser uses Cutera’s proprietary Nd:YAG technology to deliver concentrated beams of light into the hair follicle, heating it until it is disabled and can no longer produce hair. Each treatment is performed by one of our experienced technicians, who adjusts the settings to your skin and hair type for safe, effective results.

How Does xeo Laser Hair Removal Work?

Hair contains pigment, and that pigment is the key to how laser hair removal works. As the laser passes over your skin, the pigment in the hair absorbs the light energy and converts it to heat. That heat damages the follicle and prevents future growth while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. A built-in cooling system keeps your skin comfortable throughout treatment.

Areas We Treat

Laser hair removal can be performed on nearly any area of the body, including:

• Upper lip, chin, and face
• Underarms
• Bikini line and Brazilian area
• Legs and arms
• Back, chest, and abdomen

Laser hair removal can also help with ingrown hairs and razor bumps, and it can be especially helpful for women with excess facial or body hair related to hormonal conditions such as PCOS, which our gynecology team can also evaluate.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

The number of sessions varies from person to person. Hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective on hairs in their active growth phase, so multiple treatments are needed to catch every follicle. You may need as few as two sessions or as many as ten, though most people respond well to about six treatments spaced several weeks apart.

Is xeo Laser Hair Removal Right for Me?

Laser hair removal is highly successful, and many clients see a noticeable reduction in hair growth after the first treatment alone. Because the treatment relies on pigment, it works best on darker hair and may be less effective on very light, red, gray, or white hair. Skin with more pigment absorbs more light energy, which can raise the risk of burns, so an experienced technician will always assess your skin’s suitability and adjust the laser accordingly. The Nd:YAG wavelength used by the xeo is considered a safer option for many darker skin tones.

What to Expect Before and After Treatment

Shave the treatment area a day before your appointment, and avoid waxing, plucking, sun exposure, and self-tanners for several weeks beforehand. After treatment, mild redness and swelling may last a few hours. Use sunscreen and avoid sun exposure while your skin heals. Treated hairs will shed over the following one to three weeks.

Pair laser hair removal with other skin treatments such as IPL or Laser Genesis for a complete skin care plan. If you are ready to say goodbye to razors and waxing, call (303) 788-0808 to schedule your appointment.
