Laser hair removal can be an incredible solution to reduce or eradicate unwanted hair permanently. Far superior to shaving, waxing, or sugaring methods, it can save money each month on razors and waxes as well.
Though this treatment might appear daunting, it’s actually painless. At your consultation appointment with a master esthetician, they’ll assess your skin tone, hair color and areas to target.
Chest
Laser hair removal is an increasingly popular solution for unwanted body hair. Quick and painless, laser treatments offer quick relief on all areas of the body. Ideal for men or women with sensitive skin as well as those who have thick or dark hair. Lasers save both time and effort by no longer needing to shave or wax; additionally they may reduce razor burn, ingrown hairs or rashes caused by shaving/waxing alone.
Laser treatments use high-energy pulses to damage hair follicles that produce hair, thus inhibiting future hair growth. The laser beam heats and vaporizes pigmented hair without harming nearby skin; it works best on dark hair against light skin; however, recent technological advancements make treating light colored hair easier as well.
Your master esthetician will discuss your goals, target area(s), skin type and tone to assess whether laser hair removal treatment would be a suitable treatment plan for you. Patients should avoid sun exposure and sunless tanning for at least two weeks prior to beginning any session; additionally it is suggested they shave between 1-2 days beforehand so the hairs can be more easily distinguished from surrounding tissue.
Laser hair removal offers an effective long-term solution for unwanted hair growth. Through a series of 6-8 sessions, laser treatments have shown to achieve up to an 85% reduction of unwanted hair growth. You may feel discomfort similar to that caused by snapping rubber bands against your skin but this sensation usually dissipates quickly.
Abdomen
Laser hair removal is an efficient and safe solution to permanently reduce unwanted body hair. The procedure employs laser light to target each individual follicle and break down its pigment, leaving you with smooth and bare skin following treatment – this process may only take 15 minutes per area for smaller treatments, depending on size and desired treatment timeframes.
The abdomen area is one of the most popular medium-sized regions for laser hair removal, as excess body hair can be embarrassing and uncomfortable to have around. Many women want their unwanted hair removed here quickly and discreetly; it is essential that this area remain clean and dry during treatment, and may require an anesthetic cream as part of its preparation.
Before your treatment, a technician will clean and apply topical anesthetic to ensure comfort during the appointment. Furthermore, it is advised to forego self-tanners or sun exposure for several weeks prior to receiving any appointments.
Hair reduction treatments in the bikini area typically require multiple sessions for optimal results. Since hair is thicker and grows more rapidly in this area, treatment settings will likely need to be modified over time so as to be comfortable for you.
After each treatment session, your hair should regrowth less and finer, although full stop growth could take two years. Side effects might include redness, swelling or sensitivity in the treated area as well as temporary changes to skin pigmentation that should eventually subside over time.
Arms
Arms are an area where unwanted hair growth is commonplace, often as a result of excessive sweating which can be embarrassing and uncomfortable. Wearing loose clothing also irritates the skin, leading to thicker and darker hair growth on this area of the body. Laser hair removal offers an effective solution by permanently eliminating or significantly reducing its presence.
Laser therapy uses laser energy to target pigment in the hair follicle and destroy it, thus stopping new hair growth. Dark hair usually responds best, though recent technological advancements have allowed practitioners to successfully treat both blonde and red hair types as well. To maximize results, avoid tanning beforehand and apply an SPF sunscreen of at least 50.
At your consultation, a master esthetician will talk to you about your goals and determine whether laser hair removal is the appropriate treatment option. They may ask about your skin type and health conditions to ensure a positive reaction from treatment, and may perform physical examination of areas you want treated as well.
Treatment does not involve downtime; however, you may experience redness or soreness for several days following treatment. However, this should subside rapidly with use of cold compresses or ice packs on the affected areas. In rare instances scabs may form over the treated areas – this is normal but it could become infected without proper skin care techniques being followed; to protect yourself it is vital that any signs of infection be reported immediately to a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Legs
Laser technology has revolutionized how we remove unwanted hair from our bodies. Laser heat vaporizes highly pigmented cells in your hair shafts to destroy hair follicles so they no longer produce hair growth; providing a safer and more permanent alternative than waxing, shaving, plucking and tweezing. However, this procedure must only be conducted by licensed estheticians with experience in this process.
Laser hair removal treatments should target medium areas like upper lips, chin and jawline; shoulders, arms, upper back, neck sideburns and upper legs. It’s important to note that darker hair responds better to laser treatments than lighter ones so avoiding spray tans and self-tanners for several weeks prior to your appointment is highly recommended.
Your comfort level during treatment at Coachlight Clinic & Spa may vary; some might describe it as similar to feeling like a rubber band snapping against their skin, while our device features a cooling system which sprays cold air over your skin to help minimize potential discomfort.

Expect to witness a marked reduction in hair growth after your first session; however, up to eight sessions may be necessary for complete removal of medium area follicles due to laser treatment needing them in their anagen phase for maximum efficacy.
Face
Laser hair removal can provide an easy and effective solution for eliminating unibrows or 5 o’clock shadow. In addition to eliminating unwanted hair on arms, legs and bikini line, it can also prevent ingrown hairs and razor burn from appearing.
At your initial consultation, a master esthetician will review your goals, skin type and medical history to make sure laser hair removal is an appropriate treatment for you. They’ll then conduct a physical exam of the area(s) you would like targeted.
Master estheticians will then suggest a treatment plan designed to achieve your desired result, as well as explain what to expect during and after treatment, answering any of your questions or addressing any concerns that may arise. A treatment session usually lasts only minutes depending on the size and targeted area; you will feel something similar to rubber band snapping against your face during this process, with comfort reduced by using Candela Gentle’s dynamic cooling system which sprays cold air onto skin regularly during treatment sessions.
Laser hair removal is one of the safest and most efficient ways to eliminate unwanted facial hair; most patients report experiencing minimal discomfort. Darker complexioned individuals may experience increased pigmentation issues post treatment; however, this usually only lasts temporarily. Laser hair removal is the fastest, easiest, and safest way of doing so and can be applied across full face, neck, chest and shoulders areas.
Laser hair removal works by targeting dark pigment in hair follicles and destroying it, so to get optimal results it is best to refrain from shaving, waxing or chemical hair removal methods such as Nair for at least a week prior to laser treatments. Furthermore, sun exposure should be limited since tanning skin makes targeting laser treatments harder.
