Reduce unwanted hair with excel® HR, an advanced laser hair reduction treatment available at Dr. Kaga’s practice in Marlboro and East Brunswick, NJ. Designed to treat a wide range of skin tones and hair types, excel HR makes it easier to achieve smoother skin without the constant shaving, waxing, or plucking. Treatments are fast, comfortable, and customized to your skin, hair, and the areas you want to address.
How does excel® HR laser hair reduction work?
excel HR uses laser energy to target unwanted hair directly at the follicle. The energy heats the follicle and reduces its ability to produce new hair, resulting in progressively less hair growth with each treatment.
Because excel HR can be adjusted for different skin tones, hair thicknesses, and treatment areas, our team can personalize each session rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Why choose excel® HR?
excel HR combines effective hair reduction with technology designed to keep treatments comfortable. It can treat both small, precise areas and larger areas of the body efficiently.
Benefits include:
- Long-lasting hair reduction
- Treatment for a wide range of skin tones
- Fast treatment sessions
- Built-in cooling for added comfort
- Minimal downtime
- Treatment for both women and men
- Customizable settings based on your skin and hair
Laser hair reduction works best on hair that contains pigment. White, gray, and some very light hair may not respond as effectively, which is why an evaluation is important before beginning treatment.
What areas can be treated?
excel HR can reduce unwanted hair on many areas of the face and body, including:
- Face
- Upper lip and chin
- Underarms
- Arms
- Legs
- Bikini area
- Chest
- Abdomen
- Back
Our team can also treat multiple areas as part of a customized hair reduction plan.
What can I expect during treatment?
During your appointment, your provider will guide the excel HR handpiece over the treatment area, delivering quick pulses of energy to the unwanted hair.
Most patients describe the sensation as brief warmth or a light snapping feeling. Built-in cooling helps keep the skin comfortable throughout treatment.
Treatment time varies depending on the area. Smaller areas can be completed quickly, while larger areas such as the legs or back will take longer.
How many treatments will I need?
Because hair grows in cycles, laser hair reduction requires a series of treatments to achieve the best results. Not every hair is actively growing at the same time, so each session targets a different group of active hair follicles.
At Dr. Kaga’s practice, excel HR is commonly offered in packages of six treatments. Your individual treatment schedule will depend on the area being treated, your hair growth, and how you respond.
Maintenance treatments may occasionally be recommended to help preserve your results.
What else can excel® HR treat?
excel HR is a versatile laser platform that can do more than reduce unwanted hair. Depending on your skin and concerns, it may also be used for select:
- Visible facial and body vessels
- Redness
- Pigmented spots
- Sun-related discoloration
- Skin revitalization concerns
Dr. Kaga’s practice offers several laser technologies, so our team can determine which treatment is most appropriate for your specific concern rather than automatically recommending one device.
How should I prepare for treatment?
Before laser hair reduction, you’ll typically be asked to shave the treatment area and avoid waxing or plucking, since the hair follicle needs to remain in place for the laser to target it.
You should also avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure around your treatments. Our team will provide specific instructions based on your skin and treatment area.
What can I expect after treatment?
There is little to no downtime after excel HR treatments. You may notice temporary redness, warmth, or mild sensitivity in the treated area, but these effects typically improve quickly.
Continue protecting treated skin from excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen as recommended. Between appointments, you can shave unwanted hair, but avoid waxing or plucking.
