Unwanted body hair can be uncomfortable and time-consuming to remove. With laser technology, our team can use laser treatment to effectively reduce unwanted body hair for smooth skin.
Laser light energy penetrates skin pigment to heat it up, damaging hair follicles, thereby stopping any further hair growth. Unfortunately, many areas require multiple treatments in order to see long-term effects.
Treatment Areas
Laser hair removal offers men and women who are tired of waxing, shaving or plucking unwanted hair an effective long-term solution. Our experienced technicians utilize safe laser technology that targets hair follicles directly without harming any surrounding tissues – helping you reach smooth hair-free skin in much less time than it takes with traditional methods of hair removal.
Costs associated with laser hair removal vary based on which part of the body it covers; packages are available to save money. Common areas where people seek hair removal services are the face, back, legs, chest and underarms. While prices for larger areas tend to be higher initially, decreasing treatment sessions over time will save money in the long run.
Full Body Laser Hair Removal Treatments are performed using our innovative Milesman Diode Laser technology. This cutting-edge device safely and effectively removes unwanted hair from all parts of your body without pain or discomfort – unlike traditional methods which often leave skin raw or irritated after removal, laser technology used for laser hair removal is safe for all skin types.
An upper body session typically covers shoulders, chest, arms and underarms for permanent hair reduction treatments. Four to six treatments should suffice, however for more sensitive parts such as shoulders you may require more treatments in order to obtain optimal results.
Your lower leg areas will be treated with the same laser that we use on other areas of your body, and you may feel a gentle pinch as the laser heats the hair follicles to provide permanent hair reduction. Six to nine sessions may be needed for permanent hair reduction in these areas.
Full Body Laser Hair Removal gives you the freedom of wearing sleeveless tops and shorts without being self-conscious about unsightly hair growth, wearing your favorite swimsuit with pride, and spending more time doing things you enjoy than worrying about removing unwanted hair.
Treatment Time
As opposed to more traditional methods for controlling hair growth such as shaving, waxing and plucking, laser hair removal offers more efficient and convenient hair management. Laser light penetrates deep into hair follicles due to their color and pigmentation properties; disabling them and stopping further hair from growing in that location.
At first, it may be confusing, but laser hair removal will require multiple sessions for optimal results. This depends on factors like hair color, thickness, location and desired outcome. Once an initial plan has been mapped out and established, touch-up appointments should be scheduled regularly in order to maintain results.
Before beginning Full Body laser hair removal, the area will be shaved and cleaned prior to treatment. Once in treatment mode, laser energy is directed toward hair follicles so as to destroy them without harming surrounding skin or cause any side effects.
As laser energy is delivered, you may experience a mild rubber band-like sensation similar to snapping of rubber against skin. Once the laser has been applied to skin, soothing gel will be spread over it in order to minimize discomfort during treatment sessions.
Laser treatment is fast and comfortable, lasting only minutes depending on the size of your treatment area. Once finished, you can return to normal activities without applying ointments or bandages on treated areas.
Laser Hair Removal can be beneficial to both men and women of all skin tones ranging from very light to very dark, though those with dark hair typically find the procedure most successful due to melanin in their follicles absorbing energy from laser light and disabling any further hair growth.

Numbing Cream
Laser hair removal treatments can be an uncomfortable process for anyone, and full body laser hair removal treatments may cause further irritation to an already sensitive area like skin. While topical numbing cream can ease discomfort during laser hair removal treatments, you will still feel heat from the laser’s intensity. To maximize comfort during laser hair removal treatments use only products designed specifically for that use; easy application should take no more than 30-60 minutes for effects to kick in.
Your consultation allows you to choose a numbing cream best suited for laser hair removal sessions. A cream that contains lidocaine, benzocaine and tetracaine has proven ideal as it reduces adverse reactions or side effects related to laser hair removal sessions and comes packaged in individual use packets for easier application.
Once you’ve selected a numbing cream, start applying it at least an hour before your laser hair removal appointment. Also avoid sun exposure for at least an hour prior to using it; while slight discomfort may initially arise as you apply the numbing cream it should quickly subside.

Insurance
Laser hair removal treatments work by dissolving melanin deposits within hair follicles to stop their ability to grow more hair, making this popular with both women and men. Laser treatments have proven successful at permanently eliminating unwanted hair with multiple sessions; making this an excellent option for people with darker skin to remove unwanted strands on faces, necks, chests, arms legs and backs – less time is taken and painlessness are added advantages!
Many individuals are curious as to whether their insurance will cover laser hair removal. Although this treatment typically falls into the realm of cosmetic procedures and thus won’t generally be covered, certain medical conditions and circumstances could qualify it for coverage.
For example, if you are suffering from excessive hair growth on the back of your neck, laser hair removal could be covered by your insurance provider. Other conditions treated through laser hair removal could include hirsutism, androgenetic alopecia and trichotillomania.
Some insurers provide special coverage for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, to cover costs associated with laser hair removal for your breasts, bikini area, and other areas. You should contact your health insurance provider to find out about any such available coverage for this service.
Most private insurance policies don’t cover cosmetic procedures, though a few do. You should contact each salon or clinic individually to see if they accept your health insurance plan.
MassHealth will review requests for prior authorization (PA) individually based on medical necessity documentation provided to us, reviewed by one or more physicians, and once your request has been approved you will receive payment authorization.
Full body laser hair removal is one of the most sought-after med spa services, as it effectively rids skin of unsightly body hair while leaving it smooth and nick-free. Ideal for people who enjoy wearing clothing styles with less coverage like sleeveless tops and swimwear, laser hair removal may also benefit those who struggle with shaving or electric razors.
