Laser Hair Removal in El Paso, TX
WHAT IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
Gaining popularity across the nation, laser hair removal is a leading cosmetic service. The procedure's appeal lies in its ability to effectively reduce hair from both the body and face for an extended period of time. Unlike other hair removal methods, this advanced treatment tends to leave the skin feeling exceptionally smooth and looking refined with results that outlast the alternatives. At El Paso Men's & Women's Clinic, our proficient team offers quick and safe laser hair removal services. Leveraging the cutting-edge Soprano® ICE laser by Alma, we target common areas, such as the back, legs, arms, face, chest, underarms, and even sensitive zones, making sure our patients from El Paso, TX and beyond receive the best care for their hair removal needs.
HOW DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORK?
At your laser hair removal appointment, you will be asked to lie in one of our treatment rooms as the targeted areas of your skin are washed to remove oil, dirt, and lotion. During laser hair removal, a technician will stretch out the skin to create a clear path between the root of the hair follicle and the laser. The Soprano ICE laser beam will focus on and destroy the follicle, which prevents the hair from growing back. Usually, you will need to get a few sessions over a month or longer to achieve your optimal results. Your appointments will be spaced out in order to give the treated areas time to recover. It also allows time for hair follicles in the dormant phase of growth to reach the phase of active growth so the laser can be effective. The specialized Soprano ICE technology we use at El Paso Men's & Women's Clinic is able to target the hair follicle alone, which preserves the skin and other tissue in the treatment area.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Although laser hair removal is mostly gentle in nature, the treated areas of your skin may look like they have a slight sunburn from the lasers used. After your treatment, you are free to resume your daily activities, but you should avoid exercise or sun exposure for a day to let the treated skin heal. When you get home following your appointment, we recommend anti-inflammatory creams or cold packs to minimize any mild discomfort.

Superb experience. I instantly liked Dr. Altenberg and his staff. Very professional and super-nice. Dr. Altenberg is knowledgeable and clearly an expert in his field. Makes you feel like you’re in good hands. He’s calm and confident and doesn’t convey panic. He’s great. I’m going to switch to him as my primary care doctor.

EL PASO MEN'S & WOMEN'S CLINIC REVIEWS
Dr. Altenberg is my new primary care doctor. I switched because with my old primary care doctor, I saw PA’s for 2 years. My wait in the waiting room and the examine room was short. He took his time to understand my issues and asked probing questions to better determine what next steps should be. He did not immediately prescribe unnecessary pills. Rather he is doing extensive blood work and muscosketal X-rays. He also wants to know specifically what existing conditions I have and what my parents died of which will also help him. His office staff have been very helpful on the phone and in the office. I highly recommend Dr. Altenberg and his great staff.
