Don’t let shaving, plucking, and waxing sap your energy. With laser hair removal at SOMA Cosmetic Surgery and Affiliates, we make smooth skin effortless.
As we move the laser hair removal handpiece over the targeted area, it sends a series of light pulses into your skin. This light, when absorbed by your hair follicles, becomes heat. The heat damages and kills the hair follicles, delaying or permanently preventing future hair growth.
Build your treatment plan—it’s simple, personalized, and straight to the point. Receive instant treatment recommendations for your concerns.

If you’re searching for effective laser hair removal in Des Moines, you should look for experienced providers who have the latest technology. At SOMA, we use Forever Bare BBL to deliver stubble-free skin with maximum patient comfort.
Using the device’s intuitive interface, we can adjust the energy level to match your skin type and hair follicle size. The device also uses a high repetition of lower light pulses to kill hair follicles effectively with minimal discomfort. The broad spectrum of light easily penetrates multiple layers of your skin, ensuring we target as many hair follicles as possible.
After laser hair removal, some people may experience temporary redness and skin irritation. These should resolve on their own soon after your treatment session.
Frequently Asked Questions
We use Forever Bare BBL for laser hair removal in Des Moines because it combines patient comfort with real results. You may feel some warmth and a prickling sensation as your provider moves the handpiece over your skin, but the sensation shouldn’t cause pain.
Forever Bare BBL also comes with an innovative cooling tip that soothes your skin throughout the entire treatment process.
Laser hair removal permanently reduces unwanted hair in the targeted area. When hair follicles die, they don’t grow back. Damaged hair follicles may eventually heal and grow hair again though. However, if they do, the hair is typically finer and lighter in color.
With maintenance treatments once or twice a year, you can enjoy effortlessly smooth skin for years to come!
Most patients see the best results from 6 sessions of laser hair removal. Laser hair removal can only target hair follicles in an active growth stage, but not all hair follicles are in that stage at the same time.
By spacing your laser hair removal sessions a few weeks apart, we can catch all your hair follicles at just the right time. However, some patients may require more sessions to see the best results. We’ll discuss all these factors during your consultation for laser hair removal in Des Moines.
Almost anyone who struggles with unwanted hair is a good candidate for laser hair removal! However, Forever Bare BBL sometimes has trouble “seeing” light blond or white hair, making laser hair removal less effective for people with this hair color.
You and your provider will discuss the specifics of your treatment and whether laser hair removal is the right option for you.
If you’re concerned about soft, light hairs on your face, we may recommend dermaplaning instead. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair—facial “peach fuzz”—while simultaneously exfoliating your skin.
