Enjoy Hair-Free Confidence With Triton Laser Hair Removal in San Antonio
Laser hair removal is one of the most sought-after treatments for enhancing appearance, boosting self-confidence, and improving comfort. Unlike temporary solutions like waxing, shaving, bleaching, or depilatory creams, laser hair removal targets the root of the hair for long-lasting reduction.
Over time, this treatment not only saves you the hassle and expense of frequent hair removal, but it also spares you the discomfort of waxing and the irritation of razor bumps. However, traditional laser hair removal often falls short for many skin tones and hair colors.
At Eterna Cosmetic Surgery, we’ve eliminated this limitation. With the advanced Triton Laser technology, everyone—regardless of skin tone or hair color—can achieve fast, comfortable, and effective results.
What Is Triton Laser Technology?
Triton is a unique, FDA-cleared laser system that integrates three different wavelengths commonly used for hair removal into a single platform – Alexandrite 755nm, Diode 810nm, and Nd:YAG 1065nm. Dr. Hernandez can vary the wavelength(s) used, output power, and pulse duration to create an individually customized hair removal experience for each patient.
While older laser technologies are not suitable for those with darker skin due to the risk of skin damage (post-inflammatory pigmentation) as well as ineffective results, the Triton laser technology eliminates this concern because it can safely use high power and multiple wavelengths simultaneously.
What Does Triton Laser Hair Removal Procedure Involve?
Triton is actually two systems in one. Duo Light enables us to treat a broad spectrum of hairs on lighter skin. Duo Dark enables hair removal on medium to dark skin. Together, these two features allow us to personalize the treatment to each patient’s specific skin type, tone, and hair type to produce ideal results, safely.
A Triton Laser Hair Removal procedure is usually short. Even large areas such as the back or legs can be treated in about 20 minutes, small areas in 5 minutes. The length of the session varies depending on where the hair is being removed from, the type of hair in question, and other factors.
Triton’s built-in cooling technology ensures treatments are safe and very tolerable. There is no downtime required afterward, although patients will feel a slight sunburn-like sensation for several days.
Who Is a Good Triton Laser Hair Removal Candidate?
Virtually anyone looking to get rid of unwanted hair is a good candidate. Triton is safe and effective for:
- Both dark and light hair (all except white or gray)
- Fine or coarse hair
- Stubborn hair
- Light, medium, or dark complexion (or tanned skin)
- Any skin thickness
- Any body area
What Areas of the Body Can Triton Treat?
Triton laser hair removal is safe to use on any part of the body, literally head to toe — face, nose, ears, neck, areolas, abdomen, back, legs, feet, etc. Our laser hair removal price list includes all the areas that can be treated.
How Many Triton Laser Hair Removal Treatments Are Needed?
Laser hair removal requires multiple treatment sessions because hair grows in cycles and only hair follicles that are in the active growing phase (anagen phase) can be permanently destroyed. The number of treatment sessions needed varies, depending on the area being treated, the patient’s skin type, hair type and other factors.
Traditional laser hair removal treatments often require 6 to 10 sessions. The Triton system is unique because the multiple wavelengths can treat deep hairs and newly emerging follicles simultaneously. Studies show that Triton can produce 70-80% clearance in just 3 treatments. However, at Eterna Cosmetic Surgery, we recommend 4 to 6 Duo Dark or Duo Light treatments for most patients, in order to achieve ideal results.
Laser Hair Removal Recovery: What To Expect After The Treatment Session
One of the great benefits of Triton Laser Hair Removal is its minimal recovery time. You may experience slight redness or mild irritation immediately following the treatment, but these effects typically subside within a few hours to a day. Unlike waxing or shaving, there’s no need to deal with painful razor bumps or regrowth. You can resume your daily activities right after the procedure with little to no downtime. Just remember to protect the treated area from direct sun exposure and follow any post-treatment instructions provided by Dr. Hernandez.
How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost
The cost of Triton Laser Hair Removal can vary depending on the treatment area and the number of sessions needed to achieve optimal results. On average, patients require 4-6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart for permanent hair reduction. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized treatment plan, including a transparent cost estimate based on your specific goals and treatment area.
