On average, women dedicate about two hours per month to shaving; in truth, men don’t fall far behind in the statistics. While this might seem like a small price to pay if the results were a bit less temporary, as it stands, shaving is essentially an exercise in futility. Hair begins to grow back in a matter of hours, reverting to its original course, stubbly and extremely noticeable state within a week’s time. That is why many have turned to a popular medspa procedure laser hair removal. 

Waxing offers somewhat better results since ripping hair out by its roots hampers regrowth. Smoothness lasts anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks with this method. Still, the process needs to be repeated indefinitely with no true end in sight. All those lovely depilatory creams on the market have a way of burning your skin while leaving their targets fully intact. 

If you’re looking for true freedom from the razor-bound lifestyle and its comparable counterparts, you might want to consider Laser Hair Removal. This procedure uses focused lasers to strip strands of their color and damage the follicles causing them to grow. In some cases, an area roughly the size of a quarter can be treated in a single second-long pulse. Strength of these bursts can be adjusted depending on your skin type, sensitivity level and hair coarseness among other factors. 

For most patients, the process takes anywhere from two to six sessions to complete, leaving four to six weeks between each for ghosts of more stubborn follicles to come back to haunt you. Afterward, you can expect to be smooth and free of unwanted hair for months or even years before needing additional treatments. As is the case with electrolysis, laser hair removal isn’t initially permanent; that being said, it’s far more liberating than the alternatives, and each session brings you closer to the ultimate prize. 

You’ll need to stay out of the sun and away from waxing or depilatory creams for about six weeks before having this highly popular Medspa Procedure performed. Damaged skin can’t be treated, and follicles need to be in place in order for the procedure to be effective. You’re likely to feel a mild stinging sensation during the procedure, but it’s little pain compared to that of spending an entire day of your life each year confined to the bathroom with razor in hand.

I give Dr. Gallegos 5 STARS!! His staff was kind, informative, and knowledgeable. Dr. Gallegos was awesome! I can’t express how happy I am with selecting Dr. Gallegos for my surgery. He was excellent in every detail from start to finish and went above and beyond. I researched all the Surgeons in Albuquerque and chose Dr. Gallegos for his education, qualifications, and 20+ experience. After meeting him, I knew he was the one. He answered countless questions, was never rushed and I knew exactly what to expect. He exceeded all of my expectations! His staff Nurse and MA were also excellent. I received amazing care and kindness. If you want the best chose Dr. Gallegos and his staff. If you want life changing results choose Dr. Gallegos and his staff. How fortunate Albuquerque is to have such a such a incredible Physician/Surgeon. Thank you

Dr Gallegos is the best plastic surgeon in Albuquerque, I’ve been to others and he has done the best job in the state of New Mexico I had a breast augmentation... Amazing the scars are so fine lined you have to practically get a scope to see the scars. I was so pleased with his work that I had to have a tummy tuck.. a month later, it’s Amazing how I have healed in such a short time. Dr. Gallegos is extremely detailed with proficiency it’s unbelievable, I’ve had many many clients that have gone to many surgeons in the Albuquerque area and that is why I wanted Dr . Gallegos I didn’t want my body looking anything like in a horror movie. In all honesty if I could post the jobs he has done on my body I would, you wouldn’t question his work. Any women that wants her body looking amazing without the huge scars , Dr. Gallegos would be the one, trust me. I would absolutely have it done all over again , he’s the best in Albuquerque and I’m extremely picky on how my body looks internally and externally.... Paula

Two years ago I went to Dr. Gallegos’ office hoping he could help me. Not only did he help me, my experience with Dr. Gallegos and his staff has been nothing other than exemplary! Any time I have had a question or a concern I always get treated as if I mean something to the practice, I do not, not have a ever felt that I am just a warm body... If you want the best, go see Dr. Gallegos.
