During the treatment, you will be placed on a treatment table. Although there is some discomfort associated with laser hair removal, it is minimal. Our laser handpiece also releases a cool stream of air that helps to keep your skin comfortable during treatment.

Lasers safely remove unwanted hair by focusing highly concentrated light energy into the hair follicles. When the correct laser is used and adjusted to the person’s skin type, the laser is able to target the pigment within the hair follicle. As the laser light is absorbed, it destroys the hair growth in the center of the follicle without damage to the surrounding skin. Once the follicle is damaged, it will never grow hair again.

Once a hair follicle is destroyed, it will no longer grow hair. But there is no guarantee that the laser will destroy every single hair follicle. In some cases, hair regrowth is possible. Some clients like to return once or twice a year for touchup treatments to keep their skin smooth and silky.

Everyone's hair is different, and different biological factors can impact how many sessions you need in order to fully remove your unwanted hair.

In general you will want to avoid tanning for several days. Avoid waxing or plucking in the weeks leading up to the appointment as well. On the day of your procedure, avoid using any products, including lotion and antiperspirant.

Once you’ve completed your laser hair removal treatment, you’re free to go about your business as usual. You may have some redness or swelling, but it should subside within a few hours. If your treatment area is exposed to the sun, it’s important to use sunblock with an SPF of 30 or higher for several days following the laser hair removal procedure.
