Unwanted hair growth can be an extremely frustrating issue that’s hard to address. Traditional methods for eliminating it, such as shaving, waxing and depilatory creams — which only provide short-term solutions — require frequent repetitions to remain effective.
Laser treatment heats the pigment found in hair follicles to inhibit new hair growth, leading to finer, lighter-colored regrowth of finer-textured locks.
Benefits
Laser hair removal is an effective and non-irritating way to get rid of unwanted body hair. Laser beams target the pigment of each individual follicle and destroy it permanently preventing further growth. Laser hair removal provides a great alternative to shaving, plucking or waxing which may irritate skin further.
Individual results will differ, but generally speaking it should take five-6 treatments, spaced out one month apart. Because your hair grows in cycles it could take up to five cycles before permanent results appear.
Following laser hair removal treatment, the treated area may appear slightly red and swollen for several hours or days afterward; this is perfectly normal and will quickly dissipate. As direct sun can trigger more hair growth, we advise using sunscreen in this area as direct sun may increase hair regrowth.
Shaving, plucking and waxing can leave you with razor burn and ingrown hairs; but our cutting-edge equipment makes getting silky smooth skin easy! Laser hair removal removes hair at its source – meaning no more regrowth!
Laser hair removal offers many advantages that far outweigh its costs, from saving both time and money on razors and shaving cream purchases, to decreasing irritation caused by tweezing or shaving, to making laser available across more skin colors than ever before.
Before beginning laser treatment on an area you want to treat, it is wise to stop shaving, tweezing and bleaching it for at least six weeks prior to an appointment. This ensures that the hair follicle is in its peak state so as to be more susceptible to destruction by laser treatment. In addition, shaving your desired area shortly before your appointment helps the laser precisely target hair follicles for destruction.
Laser hair removal typically results in minimal pain similar to that caused by rubber bands snapping against your skin for only a momentary moment. Some patients may experience some redness and/or swelling afterwards; this should subside within a few hours.
Side Effects
Electrolysis was once a go-to treatment for unwanted body hair removal on large areas like abdomens or buttocks; it involved sending electric current through your skin to destroy individual hair follicles. Now, laser hair removal provides a safe, fast, and effective alternative. Plus, unlike shaving or plucking it’s much quicker and more convenient!
Your treatment begins in an upright position as the hair removal specialist moves the laser device across your area of unwanted hair. Most patients describe the sensation as being similar to when rubber bands snap against skin for short durations; our laser machine features a dynamic cooling system which sprays cold air onto your surface regularly reducing discomfort further.
The amount of laser hair removal sessions needed will depend on your treatment area and desired results. We generally suggest scheduling sessions every few weeks apart to allow hairs to fully fall out between treatments; if more permanent results are desired, however, six to eight sessions spaced out can help us achieve them more rapidly.
Laser hair removal is an excellent solution for both men and women looking to remove unwanted hair quickly and safely. Not only is laser hair removal fast and effective, it is also safe for all skin tones since lasers target only pigment found within your hair instead of its surroundings – perfect for both dark skin tones as well as light ones!
After your treatment, it is common to experience what appears to be regrowth of hairs. This is an expected side effect caused by laser damage; damaged hairs shed naturally rather than coming back. It is wise to avoid sunlight after your session as exposure will only exacerbate this process and increase regrowth of hairs.

Laser hair removal provides a permanent solution to unwanted hair. Unlike shaving or waxing, laser treatment does not irritate the skin and provides silky-smooth skin. The laser light targets pigment within hair follicles using light pulses that penetrate them more effectively than lighter-pigmented follicles – therefore prioritizing dark pigmented follicles over lighter ones when scheduling appointments. It is therefore vitally important that an understanding of both your hair color and skin tone before scheduling an appointment.
Waxing and shaving may provide temporary results, but must be repeated frequently to keep hair from growing back. Furthermore, these methods can be painful and irritate the skin; laser hair removal offers a solution by targeting individual follicles to inhibit them from producing hair growth.
For optimal results, we advise scheduling six laser hair removal sessions. This is because the laser only targets hair follicles in their active growth phase at any one time; other follicles may enter this stage at various points during their growth process and multiple sessions may be necessary in order to effectively disable all.
