Athens Laser Hair Removal serves Plano clients from our nearby Allen clinic at 190 E. Stacy Rd., Suite 1724. Located just north of Plano with convenient access from US-75 and Stacy Road, the clinic offers personalized treatment plans for women and men, a wide range of treatment areas, and complimentary consultations before you commit.
We are located inside Madison Avenue Salon & Suites near The Village at Allen and Fairview Town Center.
Your consultation brings the treatment details and expected total together before treatment begins.
Sessions commonly range from $75-$300 depending on the size of the treatment area, hair density, and the plan recommended for you. Smaller areas generally cost less than full legs, back, or chest. We review personalized pricing and package options during a free consultation so you know the expected total before treatment begins.
Many clients complete approximately 6-8 sessions because laser treatment is most effective during active hair-growth cycles. The exact number and spacing vary by treatment area, hair color, skin tone, hormones, and individual response. Maintenance may be recommended after the initial series.
Athens uses the Cynosure Apogee Elite platform with Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths. This dual-wavelength system allows settings to be selected for a wide range of skin tones and hair characteristics instead of using one approach for every client. Your consultation includes a review of skin tone, recent sun exposure, medications, and treatment history.
Popular areas include Brazilian, bikini line, underarms, face and chin, legs, back and chest, along with plans for men. During consultation, we can discuss one area or coordinate multiple areas based on your goals, timing, and budget.
Athens has served North Texas since 2010. As a locally owned practice, we focus on individualized settings, clear preparation and aftercare instructions, transparent pricing, and realistic expectations.
When comparing providers, ask which laser will be used for your skin tone, who performs treatment, how maintenance is handled, and whether total package pricing is explained before you commit.
Unlike waxing, there is no need for long hair. Hair must be short for your laser treatment. Shave or trim the hair before your treatment. Shorter hair makes treatment more comfortable and allows the laser energy to travel down to the follicle faster. Avoid sun exposure on the area for 2 to 3 weeks before treatment and for 1 to 2 weeks afterward.
You will be shown to a private laser hair removal treatment room and allowed time to undress if needed for access to the treatment area. Your Certified Laser Hair Removal Professional, or CLHRP, will knock before returning to the room.
The CLHRP will explain what is happening and what they are going to do during your procedure. You and your CLHRP will wear safety glasses to protect your eyes. The CLHRP will use a small handpiece that touches your skin to deliver the laser pulse.
You will feel cool air on your skin throughout the session. Lasers deliver an intense beam of light that is absorbed by pigment in the hair. That light converts to heat and targets the follicle while treatment settings and cooling help protect surrounding skin. Hair in the active growth phase is most affected because it contains the melanin targeted by the laser.
The laser does not break the skin, and there are no needles or blood. Athens uses Cynosure Elite laser machines with a cooling device that blows cold air onto the skin for comfort. Clients often compare the feeling to an elastic band snapping against the skin, but individual pain thresholds vary.
Avoid sun exposure on the area for 2 to 3 weeks before a laser hair removal procedure and for 1 to 2 weeks afterward. Apply sunscreen with at least SPF 15 before even casual sun exposure. Skin may be sun sensitive after treatment, so avoid exposing the area to direct sun.
Hair can take up to 2 weeks to shed and may continue falling out through the 14th day after treatment. Exfoliate the treated area beginning about 3 days after treatment if your provider advises it. Gently rubbing the treated body area while showering can help the shedding process.
Once treatments have started, do not wax, pluck, or use similar methods that remove hair from the follicle because they can interfere with the treatment process. You may shave, trim, or use depilatory creams or clippers between treatments if needed and if your provider says they are appropriate for your skin.
Your CLHRP at Athens Laser Hair Removal will explain the requirements before your first treatment. Call 972-468-9779 to arrange a free consultation and discuss a treatment plan that suits your needs.
Laser hair removal is best described as long-term hair reduction rather than a guarantee that hair will never return. Successfully treated follicles may stop producing hair, while some follicles can be only partially affected and may need additional treatment. Fine regrowth or new growth related to hormonal changes can also occur, so occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended.
Most people find laser treatments comfortable. Pain tolerance is subjective, and clients describe sensations ranging from warmth to a quick snap. Some patients compare the warmth and relaxation from the cooling-supported treatment experience to a hot stone massage. Integrated cooling helps improve comfort. If you feel more discomfort than expected, tell your Laser Hair Professional so the treatment and cooling settings can be evaluated.
Compared with a lifetime of shaving, waxing, or plucking, laser treatments can be a worthwhile investment in both time and money savings. Fees are based on the treatment area and the number of sessions you may need. We offer a complimentary consultation to determine whether you are a good candidate. We also receive questions about Milan Laser Hair Removal pricing, and we encourage clients to get a quote and compare the treatment plan, technology, terms, and overall value for themselves.
