Laser hair removal provides a permanent solution to unwanted hair, unlike shaving or waxing. After 5-6 sessions, results become visible and long-term; many individuals further enhance these results by including additional treatments like HydraFacial or SkinPen microneedling to improve color, texture, tone of their newly-naked skin.
Cost
Unwanted hair is an ongoing challenge for men and women alike, often leading to shaving, waxing, plucking or other forms of treatment resulting in razor burn, redness or long term facial wrinkles. Laser hair removal offers a permanent solution with minimal discomfort and downtime; unlike other methods it is safe for all skin types.

Cost of laser hair removal treatments varies based on the area being treated, typically between $200-500 for each session. This is significantly less than shaving or waxing costs which can quickly add up.

Laser treatments use pulses of light energy to heat the pigment within hair follicles and stop their growth, rendering laser treatments safe and non-harmful to most skin types and surrounding tissue. Therefore, laser therapy can be safely utilized on delicate areas like your face, underarm and lip without harming surrounding tissue – perfect for use on delicate parts such as facial features and lips as well as back or leg hair!
Before receiving laser treatments, it’s essential that you shave the area being treated to eliminate any extraneous hair growth that could obstruct its effectiveness. Furthermore, sun exposure should be reduced for two weeks leading up to your appointment to lessen any risk of burns – this is particularly important if having treatment on an area exposed to direct sunlight.
After arriving for your session, you will sit in one of the treatment rooms while any needed areas are thoroughly cleansed and prepared for treatment. A topical numbing cream may also be applied prior to beginning light energy pulses from Candela Gentle Max Pro system that provide pulses of light energy similar to rubber band snapping lightly against skin surface – many patients describe this sensation similar to snapping lightly against rubber. Sessions usually last anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour depending on size of area being treated.
Bleaching hair may make the process simpler, but it could actually reduce its effectiveness. To ensure optimal results with laser therapy treatments, it’s recommended to cease bleaching six weeks prior to receiving laser therapy so the pigments in your hair can be identified more precisely by the laser and targeted without damaging skin tissue or needing multiple sessions before seeing results.
Time Required
Laser hair removal can provide faster and longer-term hair removal solutions than shaving or waxing alone, though multiple sessions will likely be necessary to see results and maintenance treatments may also be required over time. It’s best to limit sun exposure for several weeks prior to treatment as the procedure will not work effectively with tanned skin.

Recovery
Unwanted hair can be an everyday concern for men and women alike.

Laser hair removal offers permanent solutions – usually taking several sessions depending on hair color/thickness – with ongoing touch up treatments needed every year in order to maintain results.
Laser treatment works by targeting pigment in hair follicles to inhibit their growth. While it is safe for all skin types and colors, sunburns render this treatment ineffective – meaning excessive sun exposure should be avoided weeks prior to receiving this therapy.
