Chloe, RN performs laser hair removal at InjectCo MedSpa Argyle on the Candela GentleMax Pro, from the first assessment and test patch through each session. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University. She also completed InjectCo’s Advanced Aesthetic Injector Certification, which is the company’s own internal training pathway, not a state laser certificate or an outside board credential.
In Texas, a nursing license on its own does not authorize laser treatment. The Texas Board of Nursing treats laser therapy as a physician-delegated act rather than an independent nursing function. Chloe operates the laser under the written delegation of Dr. Josh Allen, D.O., InjectCo’s Medical Director.
Verify Texas nursing licensure on the Board of Nursing lookup, or view Dr. Allen’s public NPI record (1982904033).
When someone arrives for laser hair removal, our first goal is not to make sure we fire the laser that day.
We look at what the skin looks like now. You may have the same baseline skin type you had at your last visit, but recent sun, self-tanner, new irritation, a skin treatment or a change in medication can make today’s skin a different treatment decision.
Then we look at the hair itself: its color, thickness and density, the treatment area, and whether there is enough pigment for the laser to target.
Every new patient at our Argyle clinic has a test patch. It is not a formality. It is one more piece of information before a larger area is treated, and a normal response is reassuring rather than a guarantee.
Sometimes treatment moves forward as planned, including at the same visit. Sometimes the right decision is to wait. And sometimes laser is simply not a good tool for the hair you want removed.
We would rather reschedule a session than force a treatment because it is already on the calendar.

The laser in our treatment room is the Candela GentleMax Pro, which carries a 755 nm Alexandrite and a 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength in one system. Its FDA-cleared labeling includes hair reduction across Fitzpatrick skin types I to VI, including tanned skin. Labeling is not a guarantee: burns, scarring and pigment changes are still possible, so individual assessment and appropriate settings still matter.
The Fitzpatrick scale describes how skin responds to UV exposure. It is one useful part of the assessment, but it does not decide the setting by itself. Chloe also weighs your current skin color, recent tanning, hair color and thickness, the area, your medications and any past reactions.
Three settings shape each pulse. Fluence is the energy delivered over an area, pulse duration is how long the pulse lasts, and spot size is the width of the beam. They are chosen for the device, the area, your skin and hair, and how your skin responds.
Laser hair removal relies on selective photothermolysis: choosing a wavelength and pulse so that pigment in the target absorbs enough energy to heat it, while limiting unnecessary heating of the surrounding skin. In hair removal, the target is the melanin in and around the hair follicle. The principle limits heating of nearby skin; it does not guarantee that nearby skin is unaffected.
Hair grows in cycles. Anagen is the active growth phase, catagen is a short transition, and telogen is a resting phase. Follicles in active growth respond best, and not every follicle is in the same phase at the same time, which is why treatment happens as a series of visits rather than one appointment.
Three things drive the number: how big the treatment area is, how thick and dense the hair grows, and how many sessions it is likely to need. A small area such as the upper lip is priced very differently from full legs or a full back. Ask about anything in the quote that is unclear, including what maintenance sessions would cost later.
InjectCo MedSpa Argyle is at 2660 FM 407 E, Suite 100, inside the Cloud 9 Salon and Spa building beside Bartonville Town Center. Marty B’s is in the same building complex. Coming from Lantana, you will pass Lantana Town Center and its Kroger Marketplace 1.3 miles south of us on FM 407. You may also see us listed for laser hair removal in Bartonville, our street address. It is the same clinic.
Laser is a series of visits, so the drive matters more than it does for a one-time treatment. Patients looking for laser hair removal near Flower Mound or Denton come to our FM 407 clinic, along with neighbors from Lantana, Double Oak, Copper Canyon and Highland Village, and neighborhoods such as Canyon Falls, Harvest, Lakes of Argyle and Waterbrook. Drive times from each town are listed below.
For everything else we offer at this location, see our med spa in Argyle page.
Open every day, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM
Because the first decision is whether to treat today. Every new patient has an assessment and a test patch. If today’s skin, recent sun, a medication change or the patch response points to waiting, we reschedule instead. When everything looks right, treatment can go ahead at the same visit.
Yes. Every new laser patient has one. It shows how a small area of your skin reacts to the planned settings before Chloe treats a larger area. Treat it as useful information, not a promise: a calm patch does not rule out a burn, a pigment change or another reaction during a full session.
Yes. Shaving removes the hair above the skin but leaves the root, which is what the laser targets. Do not wax, pluck or thread before treatment, because those pull the root out. We tell you when to shave for your visit when you book.
Plan around it. Under clinic policy, we postpone treatment after recent tanning or self-tanner, because recent sun changes the pigment in your skin and the risk, even though the GentleMax labeling includes tanned skin. After treatment, the AAD advises keeping treated skin out of direct sun, skipping tanning beds and self-tanner, and using a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.
Not at InjectCo. Under clinic policy, we postpone elective laser hair removal during pregnancy. Tell us if you are pregnant or planning to be, and we will plan your sessions around it.
Its FDA-cleared labeling includes Fitzpatrick types I to VI, including tanned skin, and the 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength interacts less with surface pigment. That does not make treatment risk-free. Burns, scarring and pigment changes are still possible, which is why darker skin is assessed carefully and starts with a test patch.
Usually not well. Laser needs pigment in the hair to target, and light blonde, red, gray or white hair may not have enough. A device that suits a wide range of skin tones can still be a poor match for low-pigment hair. Electrolysis, which treats follicles one at a time, may be worth discussing with a provider who offers it.
Long enough for the next group of hairs to reach the active growth phase. The AAD notes many patients can be treated again about every 4 to 6 weeks, but timing varies by person and by area. We set your next visit around your regrowth and how your skin responded, rather than a fixed calendar.
It depends on the area, your hair, your skin and how you respond. The American Academy of Dermatology notes most patients need 2 to 6 treatments. Some areas, such as hormonally driven facial hair, can need more, and maintenance sessions are normal.
In FDA device language, it is permanent hair reduction: fewer hairs growing back over the long term, judged 6, 9 and 12 months after a finished series. That is different from every hair being gone for good. Regrowth tends to be finer and lighter, and occasional maintenance is normal.
Call the clinic at (940) 298-1358. Blistering is not an expected effect. The clinical team will tell you whether you need to be seen in person or should seek more urgent medical care. If it feels severe and you cannot reach us, seek medical care right away.
Your price is confirmed in writing after your assessment and test patch, because it depends on the area, your hair and how many sessions you are likely to need. A plan for one small area costs far less than one covering several large areas, so whether a plan comes near $3,000 depends entirely on its size. You see your own number before treatment goes ahead.
Chloe, RN, performs laser hair removal at our Argyle clinic under the written delegation of Dr. Josh Allen, D.O., InjectCo’s Medical Director. In Texas, an RN license alone does not authorize laser treatment; the Texas Board of Nursing treats it as a delegated act rather than an independent nursing function.
You can verify Texas nursing licensure for Chloe on the Board of Nursing lookup and view Dr. Allen’s public NPI record. The TDLR laser hair removal rules explain when facilities and operators need their own registration or certificates. You can also ask about the delegation arrangement at your assessment.
Our clinic is at 2660 FM 407 E, Suite 100, Bartonville, TX 76226, inside the Cloud 9 Salon and Spa building beside Bartonville Town Center. The postal address is Bartonville, and the clinic serves Argyle, Lantana and the surrounding towns. We are open 8 AM to 8 PM every day. Call or text (940) 298-1358.
Your first visit covers your skin, hair, medications and what laser can realistically do for you, and every new patient has a test patch. If today’s skin is ready, treatment can follow; if not, we tell you why and rebook. You get a written quote before treatment goes ahead. Prefer to talk first? Call or text the clinic at (940) 298-1358.
Expect some redness, swelling and discomfort afterward; the American Academy of Dermatology notes these usually settle in 1 to 3 days. Rarer problems include blisters, a cold sore flare, infection, scarring, and patches of skin that turn darker (hyperpigmentation) or lighter (hypopigmentation). Some of those color changes do not fade.
In FDA device language, the goal is permanent hair reduction, defined as a long-term, stable drop in regrowth measured 6, 9 and 12 months after a completed series. Some hair can still return, so maintenance sessions are normal.
The AAD recommends choosing a board-certified dermatologist for laser treatment. At our Argyle clinic, laser hair removal is performed by Chloe, RN, under the written delegation of Dr. Allen. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation oversees laser hair removal in Texas, and its rules explain when facility registration and operator certificates apply.
Tell your clinician about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines and supplements before treatment. Some can increase light sensitivity or affect how the skin responds, bruises or heals. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own; your clinician decides whether treatment goes ahead or is postponed.
Also tell us about recent sun exposure or tanning, self-tanner, recent skin procedures, any unusual pigment change in the past, a tendency to scar or form keloids, cold sores, irritation or infection in the area, tattoos or permanent pigment in the area, and whether you currently take or recently took isotretinoin. None of these is automatically a no; each one is assessed.
Results vary with hair color, hair thickness, skin tone and hormones. This page is general education, not medical advice.
A booked appointment does not mean a full treatment goes ahead no matter what.
Under clinic policy, we postpone after recent tanning or self-tanner, and we postpone elective laser hair removal during pregnancy. The device labeling includes tanned skin, but recent sun exposure changes the pigment in the skin and the risk, so this is our clinical policy rather than a device limit.
We may also postpone or adjust the plan if the area is irritated, broken or infected, during an active cold sore outbreak, or after a recent skin procedure or medication change. If you currently take or recently took isotretinoin, the clinical team decides whether to delay based on your history and skin.
Some redness and swelling after laser is normal. Call the clinic at (940) 298-1358 if pain gets worse instead of better, if you blister, if swelling is marked, if the area drains, or if the skin changes color in a way your aftercare sheet did not describe.
We will tell you whether what you are seeing is expected, whether we need to see you in person, or whether you should get medical care sooner. If a reaction feels severe and you cannot reach us, seek medical care right away.
