No more itchy legs, dark underarms or razor burn! Put away waxing, shaving and creams as well.
Laser hair removal in Denver Colorado provides permanent results without the pain or hassle associated with other methods.
Laser treatments use a targeted beam of light that precisely targets pigment within hair follicles to destroy it, thus preventing new hair growth in its place.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal provides permanent solutions to unwanted hair by targeting individual follicles and disabling them so that new growth cannot form. It’s safe, quick and virtually pain-free – an effective way to put an end to the endless war against hair!
Your skin specialist uses a handheld applicator to direct laser beams of light directly into your hair follicles. Melanin found both in hair and skin absorbs this thermal energy and destroys it, stopping new growth of hair from taking place.
After several laser treatments, your unwanted hair will be eliminated for good – leaving behind silky smooth skin free of knicks or bumps. Plus, saving both time and money by forgoing shaving, waxing or depilatory creams!
Your laser hair removal results will last years; any hair that does come back will be finer and lighter in color than before. To maximize long-term success of these sessions, however, it is recommended that sun exposure and excessive heat be limited prior and following treatments as this could cause pigment changes that compromise their effectiveness.
How Long Do Laser Hair Removal Treatments Take?
Laser hair removal involves passing pulses of light energy over the skin in order to destroy hair follicles, so it is best to refrain from plucking and waxing at least six weeks prior to starting laser treatment in order to ensure open follicles that will allow the laser to work more effectively, as this helps avoid ingrown hairs and razor bumps from developing as the intact follicle must remain intact for new growth to take place.
Each treatment session should lead to a noticeable reduction in unwanted hair growth, although multiple sessions will likely be required before you see results; laser only targets hair follicles which are in their active growth stage – only approximately 20% are in this active state at any one time, which necessitates multiple treatments over time.
Once you complete the recommended number of laser treatments, your results will be permanent and save both time and money on shaving, plucking, waxing, depilatory creams, depilatory strips, etc. If you’re ready to rid yourself of stubble, ingrown hairs, nicks and cuts in one swift action then don’t hesitate to contact us and learn about how laser hair removal at our clinic can benefit you!
What Are the Side Effects of Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal offers quick and comfortable results, unlike shaving or waxing. A laser uses light energy to convert into heat that targets pigment in your hair and skin to damage or shut off follicles that produce unwanted hair growth – effectively stopping it in its tracks!
Your laser hair removal session could last from 15 to 60 minutes depending on the size and location of the treatment area. Expect some tenderness as the laser moves across your skin; sensitive areas might feel slightly irritated after treatment but this should subside shortly afterwards. Taking over-the-counter pain medications or using an ice pack may help ease discomfort further.
After your laser hair removal treatments, you should be able to resume normal activities immediately; however, temporary redness, irritation or swelling of the treated area may occur and typically subside within an hour.
Before seeking laser hair removal, it is advisable to omit temporary methods like waxing and plucking as this could hinder its ability to identify melanin in hair follicles. Tanning or spray tanning sessions also interfere with its identification of melanin in follicles.
Since some hair follicles will still be dormant when your first laser hair removal treatment takes place, multiple sessions may be required in order to target all follicles for destruction. Patients who adhere to regular follow-up treatments typically see an 80-90% decrease in unwanted hair growth.

Are Laser Hair Removal Treatments Safe?
Laser hair removal is generally safe for most people. This treatment uses minimal radiation and only affects the surface layer of skin, though pregnant or trying to become pregnant women should consult their physician about any risks that could be involved. Furthermore, it should be done away from eyes to avoid cornea damage and eyelid ulcers from occurring during the procedure.
Hasley King, a board-certified dermatologist, explained that laser hair removal machines emit light which is absorbed by melanin and hair follicles before being converted to heat to permanently destroy and remove them resulting in permanent hair reduction compared to shaving, plucking or waxing.
After your laser session, it is common to experience redness or swelling in the area that was treated, though these effects should subside quickly. Furthermore, some individuals experience darkerened skin. However, this usually resolves itself within several days.
As it’s important to keep in mind, even though laser treatments are FDA-approved, this does not ensure their safety. Before booking an appointment with any laser technician or purchasing an at-home device, always confirm they have adequate training and licensing.
Are Laser Hair Removal Treatments Effective?
Laser hair removal offers people who are frustrated with hair (whether stubble, knicks or ingrowns) a powerful weapon in the fight. Unlike shaving, plucking and waxing which only temporarily address unwanted hair growth issues on specific parts of their bodies; laser can permanently erase unwanted follicles from almost all parts.
Laser hair removal treatments are fast and relatively pain-free. Sessions typically last anywhere from just a few minutes up to an hour depending on the size of the area being treated; patients wear protective goggles during each treatment session to protect their eyes from laser light.
After several sessions of laser hair removal, most clients find their unwanted hair is permanently gone; and when it does reappear it usually grows back finer and lighter in color than before. To maximize results it’s important to avoid sun exposure and tanning prior to laser appointments as well as limit other forms of hair removal like waxing or plucking between treatment sessions.
Laser hair removal works best for people with dark skin and dark hair, as the contrast allows laser light to more easily reach hair follicles. Unfortunately, this form of treatment isn’t ideal for individuals with blonde, gray, or red locks as the laser won’t reach all follicles.
Are Laser Hair Removal Treatments Affordable?
Laser hair removal might seem like an expensive luxury investment, but it often costs less than other temporary solutions such as shaving, waxing and depilatory creams – saving both time and money over time.
Consultation with a laser specialist is an essential first step toward smooth skin. Here you can discuss your goals and determine whether laser treatments are right for you.
Following an in-depth assessment, our laser specialist applies topical numbing cream to minimise discomfort prior to beginning your treatment. Once begun, the laser device targets dark pigment in your hair which absorbs energy from laser pulses to destroy follicles and prevent future growth.
Laser treatments offer permanent hair reduction without painful hair-growth cycles or long periods of downtime, yet you may experience redness or itching in the area treated after each appointment.
Remember that multiple laser hair removal treatments will likely be needed before seeing results, as your hair grows in stages and some follicles will still be in their dormant phase during initial sessions. To maintain a hairless surface and ensure that smooth results last, sessions should likely occur every four to six weeks.
