Laser hair removal works by vaporizing hair follicles to temporarily disable their ability to produce new hair growth, temporarily stopping new strands from appearing. Although it can cause some discomfort, most find the experience tolerable; numbing cream may be applied beforehand in order to alleviate discomfort further.
Treatments could take anywhere from minutes to an hour, depending on the size and scope of the area being addressed. Repeating as necessary to achieve long-lasting results.
1. Face and Neck
Laser hair removal offers the ideal solution to those seeking relief from shaving, waxing or plucking unwanted facial or body hair. This process uses concentrated beams of light energy to target pigmented follicles in hair follicles to damage them permanently, thus inhibiting future hair growth. Multiple sessions may be needed in order for you to see results; their efficacy depends on factors like laser type used, hair color and thickness as well as skin tone of treated area.
Laser hair removal can benefit both men and women of all ages, with dark-haired individuals seeing the greatest benefit. Since lasers target dark pigment in hair follicles more efficiently than lighter-colored locks, detecting and eliminating them more effectively than lighter hues. Therefore, tanning or using sunless tanners at least six weeks prior to receiving laser treatment should be avoided to maximize success.
Before undergoing laser hair removal treatment, it is wise to shave the area. Shaving will remove surface hair and allow the laser to more precisely target hair follicles. After your treatment session, there may be red and swollen patches, but most people can return to their daily activities immediately following.

2. Bikini Area
Laser hair removal in the bikini area is a popular and quick option, providing quick relief from irritation caused by other methods like waxing. Furthermore, it helps eliminate ingrown hairs as well as reduce risk for infections caused by shaving.
Laser hair removal on the bikini area requires multiple sessions in order to achieve maximum effectiveness, due to dense and thicker follicles than on other parts of the body. Therefore, patience must be demonstrated throughout a full course of treatments – typically six sessions should suffice, though some women may require as many as ten in order to reach desired results.
At each session, technicians use Aloe Vera gel to keep the treated area cool and comfortable. If swelling or itching occur in the treated area, this is normal and additional Aloe Vera should be applied throughout the day to reduce discomfort. It is wise to avoid applying any sunless tanning products or heavily-scented cosmetics since they could interfere with laser therapy treatment.
Although laser hair removal treatments typically focus on bikini lines, Brazilian laser hair removal treatments offer much broader treatments – this involves eliminating hair from all parts of the pubic region including labia, perianal area and buttocks.
Laser hair removal with this advanced form of treatment is one of the more sophisticated solutions. It works by using specific wavelengths of light to target hair follicles in deeper layers of the skin – an approach particularly beneficial for darker skin tones as it doesn’t interact with melanin like other lasers do.
3. Underarms
If you’re tired of shaving your underarms or scheduling regular wax appointments, laser hair removal could be a better solution. This treatment offers quick and painless results to get rid of the unwanted underarm hair for good – though sensitive areas might require additional numbing creams to minimize discomfort.
Laser hair removal differs from waxing or shaving in that it destroys hair follicles to stop their ability to produce new hairs from growing back. Although results take several sessions to appear, once completed you will no longer need to use razor or wax! Laser treatment is also beneficial if you experience ingrown hairs or razor burn often.
After an armpit laser hair removal treatment, your skin might experience increased redness or irritation, though these side effects should subside within several hours. To minimize side effects after treatment, avoid direct sunlight as much as possible and wear looser clothing if possible; your doctor may suggest cooling compresses or ice packs being applied directly over the area being treated.
Prior to beginning laser treatment for the underarm area, it’s recommended to stop shaving or waxing six weeks prior to your appointment as the laser uses melanin in hair to target and destroy it.
No matter your aesthetic goals or lifestyle needs, laser hair removal can be an invaluable solution. Although laser treatments are generally safe for most individuals, it is advisable to consult a professional in order to select an appropriate laser type suited to your skin tone and hair color.

4. Chest
Unwanted chest hair can be especially embarrassing and distracting when worn under a suit, making laser hair removal for this area an attractive, safe, and permanent solution to excessive hair growth. Laser treatment utilizes focused beams of light to target and destroy pigmented follicles in hair follicles to inhibit future growth – this procedure works on both men and women equally effectively.
Before your initial session, it is recommended to shave the chest area to remove any thicker hairs and avoid tanning or self-tanning products for several weeks prior to receiving treatment. You will also be provided with protective goggles or glasses from your provider in order to minimize side effects during treatment.
As your treatment progresses, you’ll feel snapping sensations caused by laser beams targeting hair follicles. The procedure could last anywhere between several minutes and an hour depending on its size; discomfort during treatment should generally be well tolerated by most patients.
After your treatment, your skin might feel sensitive and look puffy; cold compresses or gel could offer comforting relief. Also remember to stay out of direct sunlight as exposure could lead to permanent skin discoloration.

5. Legs
Laser hair removal is an excellent solution for eliminating unwanted body hair on legs, bikini area or entire body. Laser treatments offer non-invasive yet gentle solutions that deliver silky-smooth skin with minimum discomfort.
Laser light energy heats and vaporizes pigment from your hair follicle, rendering it incapable of growing new strands. Due to each follicle going through its own unique lifecycle, several laser treatments may be required in order to permanently reduce hair growth on large areas like back or leg areas.
People typically find the treatment to be somewhat unpleasant; however, your level of discomfort will depend on your pain threshold and location being treated. Coachlight Clinic & Spa utilizes a state-of-the-art machine called Candela Gentle that features an advanced cooling system to cool your skin prior to, during, and after every session.
