Meticulous grooming and hair removal isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. A put-together appearance means hours spent shaving, waxing, or plucking. But many are hesitant to undergo laser hair removal treatments because of pain. At Colorado Skin & Vein, we understand the hesitation, which is why we use the Cynosure Apogee Elite laser system. *Individual Results May Vary. How Does Laser Hair Removal Work? The Cynosure Apogee Elite laser is one of the most advanced on the market for laser hair removal. With two laser platforms in one—the 755nm Alexandrite laser, and the 1064nm Nd: YAG laser—we can quickly target unwanted hair for faster, less painful removal. The Apogee Elite is equipped with a beam combiner, allowing the delivery of both wavelengths at the same time. We can also switch between wavelengths without having to switch handpieces. Meaning, no matter your skin pigment or hair type, follicles are targeted with the proper wavelengths at all times. The Alexandrite energy is perfect for those with lighter skin tones, while the Nd: YAG energy is safe for hair reduction on darker or tanned skin. Patient comfort is a priority at Colorado Skin & Vein, and the Apogee Elite uses SmartCool technology, which emits a burst of cooling air to your skin to minimize pain. The laser’s spot size is flexible, making it ideal for quickly treating large or small areas. The faster your treatment, the faster you’ll become hair-free. Am I a Good Candidate? It used to be only very specific hair and skin types met the criteria for laser hair removal, but technological advancements have increased the number of ideal candidates. Most patients seeking laser hair removal can receive treatment now.

REQUEST A CONSULTATION How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt? Pain tolerance varies by the individual, but many laser treatments do have an element of discomfort to them. For some, it’s like a light pinch, while for others it’s similar to a rubber band being snapped against the skin. We often hear our laser hair removal treatments are less painful than waxing. Pain also depends on the size and sensitivity of the treatment area. For arms or legs, the treatment is more bearable. For sensitive locations like the underarms, bikini line, or abdomen, it can be more noticeable. With our expertise and training, we can treat your unwanted hair quickly, without lingering over the area. Your hair is targeted with speedy, graceful movements of the handpiece. You may be finished with your treatment session in as little as 5 minutes for small areas, or in under 30 minutes for larger treatment zones. Results and Downtime There is no downtime associated with laser hair removal, and you should experience shedding and thinning within 1-2 weeks of treatment. Patients frequently experience up to 79% hair reduction after just 3 sessions. Multiple sessions are required because only 30% of your hair is in the active growth phase at one time. Treatments are spread over time to ensure all hair is targeted. Dr. Verebelyi trusts the Cynosure Apogee Elite laser to safely and effectively remove your unwanted hair for good. The short-term discomfort is nothing compared to a lifetime of irritating shaving or painful waxing. “I went in to Dr. Verebelyi for Bio-T he explained the procedure completely and was very professional. I was so please with the office that I had some hair removal done. The office is always helpful and prompt with scheduling. I’m very happy with my results and if I have any question they’re glad to answer every thing to my satisfaction.” BJ Take the First Step – Request A Consultation To request your laser hair removal treatment consultation with us, please call (303) 683-3235 or fill out our online contact form today.

One of the most laborious chores we have in our grooming routines is hair removal. We shave, we wax, and we pluck, risking cuts and pain all in an effort for smooth, hair-free skin. So imagine for a moment what it would be like not to have to shave, wax, or pluck. Think about the time and money saved over a lifetime of not having to buy razor replacements and schedule waxing appointments. This can be your reality with Colorado Skin & Vein. *Individual Results May Vary. How Does Laser Hair Removal Work? The Cynosure Apogee Elite laser is one of the most advanced on the market for laser hair removal because it’s two laser platforms in one. The 755nm Alexandrite laser works wonders for those with lighter skin tones and hair, and the 1064nm Nd:YAG energy excels for patients with darker or tanned skin. We personally tested several machines and conducted extensive research and the Apogee Elite system is hands down the best for our patients. For many clinics, the patient’s hair pigmentation determines which kind of laser energy is required. With the Apogee Elite’s laser beam combiner, we can deliver both wavelengths of the laser system at the same time, through the same handpiece. We also have the ability to switch between the wavelengths without switching handpieces, saving you time with every treatment. It doesn’t matter your skin pigment or hair type, we can treat you. Follicles are properly targeted with the most effective energy for the entirety of your treatment program. It’s also one of the most comfortable lasers on the market, producing a burst of cooling air to your skin during the treatment for minimal pain. With a flexible spot size, we can treat areas large or small in record time.

Because only 30% of hair is in the active growth phase at one time, and the laser treatment can only target these follicles, multiple treatments are necessary. Hair begins to shed within 2-3 weeks, and you’ll have visibly thinner hair after 2-3 treatments. The average cost of laser hair removal in the US varies depending on the size of the area being treated, the number of treatment areas, the thickness and quantity of the hair, and the geographical location and experience of your provider. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons puts the average cost around $430, while RealSelf.com shows an average closer to $875 with a range between $300-$3,000. To further pinpoint it, the breakdown by body area is as follows: Arms: $350-$500 Face and Neck: $600-$900 Bikini line: $350-$500 Back: $600-$900 Chest: $350-$600 Legs (lower only): $600-$850 We understand cost is a major factor in considering laser hair removal treatments, and that’s why we offer financing options to all our patients, including 0% interest for 6 months to all who qualify. Package pricing is also available to ensure our patients receive the best deal possible. Laser hair removal is an investment in yourself, your peace of mind, and your confidence. Dr. Verebelyi and the Colorado Skin & Vein team are passionate about helping patients restore that confidence and rediscover the beauty within so that it can shine on the outside. “I went in to Dr. Verebelyi for Bio-T he explained the procedure completely and was very professional.

Do you wish you had less hair on your legs, arms, face, bikini area, or back? Body hair can cause frustration and embarrassment, especially if the hair is located in a hard-to-hide place like the upper lip. That’s why so many people turn to non-invasive laser hair removal to get rid of unwanted hair.  Laser hair removal relies on the power of safe lasers to cause the hair follicles below the skin to become inactive. Once they become inactive, the follicles stop producing hair. Though laser hair removal isn’t a permanent solution, it promises smoother, silkier skin without the need for constant shaving, waxing, or threading for many months. You can stop worrying about annoying hair and start feeling more confident about your appearance. After looking up “laser hair removal near me” and “How much is laser hair removal?” and planning accordingly once you get your answers, you’ll have to get ready for the procedure. In particular, you should plan how you’re going to take care of your skin post-treatment. Below are some of the most important laser hair removal “to-dos.” Keep Your Treated Skin Away From the Sun As you might suspect, your skin will be sensitive after undergoing aesthetic laser hair removal treatment. This is natural. To protect your skin, wear a sunscreen of at least SPF30 and avoid going to tanning beds. Even a mild case of sunburn can lead to blistering, pain, swelling, and skin discoloration. Consequently, stock up on sun protection products and use them generously. Avoid Moisturizers With Fragrances Most people who’ve had laser hair removal use moisturizers to keep their skin calm and soft. Yet some moisturizers contain potential irritants and allergens in the forms of fragrances and coloring. Even if you love wearing a moisturizer that smells good, only use fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturizers on laser-treated areas. Tame Your Use of Body Scrubs After Laser Hair Removal Body scrubs can feel great in the shower but may be too rough for lasered skin. For the first few days or week after undergoing the laser hair removal process, stay away from scrubs. You will be able to use them again once your skin has fully recovered and isn’t as tender. Avoid Using Deodorant Are you planning to have your underarm hair removed? Though it might be a little hard to imagine, avoid putting on any deodorant or antiperspirant for several days. What should you do instead to control sweating? Wearing light, breathable fabrics and avoiding too many layers can help you feel fresh. So can sponging off your underarm area with cool, mildly soapy water a couple of times a day and after rigorous activities. Note Unexpected Changes in Your Skin Most people respond to laser hair removal treatment predictably. That said, there is always the chance that you might experience an unexpected change in your skin. If that happens, just call the practice where you received your laser hair removal. The professionals there will be able to offer advice on how to proceed. Resist the Temptation to Wax or Pluck Your initial laser hair removal appointment will remove up to 25% of your unwanted hair according to the American Academy of Dermatology Association. Each subsequent appointment four to six weeks later will remove even more. Nevertheless, you can expect to have some hair remaining. While it’s fine to start shaving again, don’t wax or pluck your hair. Waxing and plucking further irritate and damage hair follicles. Shaving is much gentler. Laser Hair Removal Maintenance Ultimately, laser hair removal maintenance requires very little attention. You only have to make sure that you’re treating your skin well and following any post-treatment recommendations given to you at your laser hair removal appointment. Ready to spend less energy worrying about your unwanted leg, body, or facial hair? Consider laser hair removal. The upfront investment of your laser hair removal cost will more than pay for itself in the money you’ll save when you don’t have to constantly buy new razors or pay for waxing appointments.
