What Is Laser Hair Removal?

The Science of Smooth

Laser hair removal offers a long-term way to stay smoother with less daily upkeep. A focused beam of light targets the hair at the root, heating and disabling the follicle so it can no longer grow hair as actively. With a series of sessions, you'll see less regrowth, finer strands, and smoother skin over time.

Because the laser is drawn to pigment, it has traditionally worked best on darker hair and lighter skin. Today's advanced technology is designed with more skin types in mind, making treatment a safe, thoughtful option for a wider range of tones, including deeper complexions and more sensitive skin.

Laser Hair Removal at a Glance

  • Treatment Type: Permanent Follicular Photo-Epilation
  • Downtime: Zero. You may experience a transient "sun-kissed" warmth or slight redness for about an hour, but you can return to your routine and apply makeup immediately.
  • Results: Immediate & Cumulative. Noticeable hair thinning and reduction occur after just one session; total liberation and permanent smoothness are typically achieved in 6 to 8 sessions.
  • Duration:15–45 Minutes. Depending on the size of the treatment zone, your session is designed to be a swift, seamless addition to your day.

Targeting Persistent Growth

What Is a Laser Hair Removal Session Like?

Before your first visit, we take time to understand your skin tone, hair color, and treatment areas. From there, we design a plan that fits your goals, your lifestyle, and your comfort level.

To keep you comfortable, a topical numbing cream can be applied before treatment. During your session, a handheld device glides over the skin, sending focused light into each hair follicle. Most patients describe the feeling as a quick snap—noticeable, but fleeting. Smaller areas, like the upper lip, can be finished in minutes, while larger or multiple areas may take up to an hour.

What Areas Can Laser Hair Removal Treat?

Strategic Smoothness

Laser hair removal adapts to you, targeting unwanted hair on most areas of the body with precision and care. Common treatment zones include:

  • Upper lip and chin
  • Underarms
  • Bikini and extended bikini
  • Full and partial legs
  • Back and chest
  • Arms and shoulders
  • Cheeks, jawline, and other facial areas (excluding eyebrows)

From everyday touch-ups to more intimate areas, our providers focus on comfort, safety, and naturally smooth results.

Am I a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

It's Time to be Free From Shaving

If you're bothered by unwanted hair, there's a strong chance you're a good fit for laser hair removal.

Treatment tends to work best on darker hair, while lighter shades may need more sessions and may see gentler results. Very light blonde, gray, or red hair often responds less and may be better suited to other options.

Laser hair removal is not recommended if you're pregnant, on certain medications (like systemic steroids or photosensitizing drugs), or have active skin concerns such as eczema or psoriasis in the area being treated.

Navigating Your Reset

Laser Hair Removal Recovery

Right after your session, the treated area may look a bit pink or puffy, much like a light sunburn. This is normal and temporary.

Most warmth or redness fades within a few hours. Keep the area cool, skip hot showers and workouts the first day, and avoid direct sun or tanning for at least a week. Use a gentle moisturizer and broad-spectrum SPF daily. You'll see hairs shed gradually over the next days and weeks. Because hair grows in cycles, a series of sessions is needed for smooth, lasting results.

Witnessing Permanent Softness

Laser Hair Removal Results

You'll usually start noticing smoother skin after your first session as treated hairs begin to shed over the following days and weeks.

With a full series of treatments, many patients see up to 80–90% long-term hair reduction. Occasional touch-ups may be needed, but they're typically spaced months or even years apart. Is laser hair removal permanent? Results vary, yet most patients enjoy lasting softness and far less regrowth than with shaving or waxing.
