Where to Get Laser Hair Removal in Texarkana

Laser hair removal offers permanent freedom from unwanted hair, and the growing prevalence of medical spas makes the procedure quick and convenient for anyone. Where should you have your laser hair removal treatments performed in Texarkana?
According to Texarkana laser hair removal specialist Teresa Fontenot of ReNew Medical Spa, not just any spa will do. Equipment and oversight, she says, should be your primary concerns when choosing a facility for your laser hair removal procedures. And choosing a facility you can trust with all of your cosmetic and aesthetic concerns offers added convenience.
State-of-the-Art Equipment
When selecting a facility for your laser hair removal treatments, Fontenot says, it’s important to ask about the type of equipment used and, specifically, whether or not it is appropriate for use on patients with your skin and hair types.
Not all laser hair removal equipment is the same, Fontenot explains. While most lasers can be used safely and effectively on individuals with light skin and dark hair, treating individuals with dark skin can be riskier and more challenging. This is because the lasers used for hair removal work by selectively targeting hair based on its color. When the color of the hair closely matches the color of the skin, problems can result and the procedure may be less effective.
“At our facility,” Fontenot explains, “we have two different wavelengths on the laser, which means that we can treat essentially any patient.” This, she says, is unusual in the industry and in Texarkana particularly. “Because we have newer, more sophisticated equipment, we can make laser hair removal available to anyone.”
Professional Oversight
It’s also important to consider the staff’s training and supervision when choosing a medical spa. “Our highly trained staff operates under the supervision of both myself and our medical director,” Fontenot says. “Our combined knowledge goes into every decision we make, every product we offer, and every machine we purchase.”
Medical oversight can also be beneficial for patients seeking other services. Often, Fontenot says, a patient comes in with a cosmetic concern, but is determined to have an underlying medical problem.
“If someone makes an appointment for a massage,” she says, “we can help them understand whether there truly is a muscle problem or there’s something else going on that’s causing them discomfort.” Likewise, if a patient is concerned about acne or rosacea, not only can the team at ReNew help improve the skin’s appearance in the short term, but Fontenot herself is able to prescribe medications that can help treat the underlying medical condition.

ReNew Medical Spa, says Fontenot, is a full-service medical spa equipped to handle any and all of your cosmetic and aesthetic needs. From traditional services like massage and waxing to high-tech fat reduction procedures like Lipo-Ex and Lipodissolve, ReNew Medical Spa has everything you need to look and feel your best. “We offer completely customized treatment plans,” Fontenot says, “and a wide range of services and treatments, all designed to help you feel great about yourself.”
