How Laser Hair Removal Works

Laser hair removal is a medical treatment that utilizes a concentrated beam of light (laser) to target the pigment in hair follicles. The energy from the laser is converted into heat, which damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth.

Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are required to ensure every follicle is treated during its active growth phase.

What to Expect from Your Treatment

Areas We Treat
We can safely remove hair from almost any part of the body, including:

  • Face: Upper lip, chin, and sideburns.
  • Body: Underarms, back, chest, and bikini line.
  • Legs & Arms: Full or partial treatments available.

Treatment Timeline

  • Number of Treatments: Most patients require 2 to 8 sessions for optimal results.
  • Downtime: None. You can return to your normal activities immediately.
  • Results: You will typically begin to see a noticeable reduction in hair within 1 to 3 weeks after your first session.

Are You a Candidate?

To ensure the highest safety standards, we recommend the following:

  • No Tanning: This treatment is not recommended if you have an active tan (including sunless tanners) as it increases the risk of skin irritation.
  • Medication Check: Please inform us if you are on any light-sensitive medications.
  • Consultation: Every journey begins with a professional assessment to ensure we match the right technology to your specific skin and hair type.
