Laser hair removal is a quick, relatively painless solution for unwanted hair removal. Light beams zap pigment found within hair follicles to make it hard for it to regrowth.
However, laser hair removal treatments can seem complex to someone new to this procedure and you might find yourself asking what constitutes a medium area for treatment.
Face & Neck
Unlocking a hair-free neckline and beard has become an increasingly popular trend among men. Studies show that 20% of laser hair removal clients in the United States are men! This may be due to how removing unwanted hair in areas like neck, shoulders and abs can reduce five o’clock shadow appearance and skin irritation caused by shaving; many also opt to have sideburns and moustache hair removed to achieve a cleaner-cut appearance.
Facial and neck areas make ideal targets for laser hair removal as dark hair responds best. The procedure uses selective photothermolysis, where heat from a laser vaporizes pigments found within hair shafts to stop them regrowing again. Therefore, to be eligible for laser hair removal treatment it’s essential that any potential complications such as psoriasis or dermatitis don’t increase risk factors like this treatment plan may have.
Hair removal in the face and neck area may feel somewhat unpleasant, but is rarely painful. Your comfort level depends on both the intensity of treatment as well as your pain threshold; our machine has a dynamic cooling system which continuously sprays cold air on the skin to minimize any discomfort you might feel during treatment.
Laser hair removal is an efficient, noninvasive solution that can quickly eliminate hair in any part of the face – be it the chin, upper lip, sideburns or nostrils. In order to maximize its efficacy and minimize treatment times, prior to getting treated make sure to refrain from using sunless tanning products and tanning beds for six weeks before beginning laser treatment.
Before and after treatments, it’s wise to apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunblock on the treated area for both sessions. Furthermore, it is wise to refrain from natural tanning or spending prolonged time outdoors before and after laser sessions as this could hide changes to follicle growth or pigmentation caused by laser treatment.

Bikini
Bikini area laser hair removal treatments are extremely popular and it is easy to see why. Women tend to have abundant amounts of hair in this region that typically covers all the way from navel area, through top, sides and labia area as well as perianal area – usually darker in hue but lighter on occasion.
Most people require multiple sessions of laser hair removal in order to see significant reductions in hairs in this area. Bikini line laser hair removal typically takes six to ten sessions as its hairs tend to be thicker and denser, so adjustments must be made according to how your skin and hair react.
Notably, results from a full bikini line course are not permanent; hair may continue to grow back. A regular schedule of maintenance treatments (up to three per year) should help to sustain reduction.
An ongoing bikini line laser hair removal treatment can make life much simpler. By eliminating the need for shaving and waxing – which are often messy, time-consuming processes – bikini line laser hair removal treatments also eliminate ingrown hairs, razor burn, chafing and sweating which are common concerns among many women.
Ingrown hairs and razor burn can leave the bikini area looking unsightly, bumpy and uneven in appearance, which is not only embarrassing but can lead to decreased confidence when participating in certain activities such as swimming or beach trips.
Undergoing Brazilian bikini laser hair removal treatment can quickly solve all of these issues and leave you with smooth, flawless skin in this delicate and sensitive area. Furthermore, it will save hundreds of dollars annually by eliminating additional hair removal expenses such as shaving cream and razor purchases.
Underarms
Underarm hair removal with laser is increasingly popular, particularly among women. It’s easy to understand why, since armpit hair can be an embarrassment or source of irritation due to ingrown hairs and itchiness. Instead of shaving or waxing treatments being necessary to get rid of unwanted armpit hairs, laser treatments offer more efficient hair removal methods that don’t leave behind ingrowns and irritation.
Laser technology enables clinicians to precisely target hair follicles without damaging nearby skin, permanently disabling them so that hair cannot regrow in those spots in future. Results of treatment tend to last, with many reporting permanent reduction of unwanted hair growth after just six laser sessions!
Laser treatments for legs have become incredibly popular over the past several years, as their thick, coarse hair can often be hard to get rid of through shaving or waxing alone. Laser treatment offers fast, convenient, and cost-effective hair removal in legs – an excellent solution to ridding oneself of unwanted body hair!
Legs make ideal candidates for laser hair removal due to their slower rate of hair growth; therefore, its results are usually long-lasting; indeed, some of our clients have reported complete leg hair eradication after only three laser treatment sessions!
Laser treatment on your face and neck is a fantastic option; however, it may not be suitable for underarms. While lasers can still treat them successfully in these hormonally charged regions, hair follicles will still respond sensitively to changes in hormone levels; thus needing additional sessions before reaching desired results.
When searching for an experienced laser hair removal professional to treat medium areas with laser treatment, make sure they offer free consultation before your initial session so you can ask questions about costs and benefits associated with laser therapy. This may provide the ideal opportunity to ask any necessary queries related to the process or its costs and benefits of treatment.
Hands & Feet
Laser hair removal is an increasingly popular procedure. It’s quick, painless and very convenient – ideal for busy individuals with hectic lives who seek an alternative to shaving, waxing and depilatory creams for hair removal.
Laser hair removal treatments work by breaking down pigment in hair follicles to stop them from producing new hair growth, through selective photothermolysis. It is one of the safest methods of hair removal; any side effects include redness in the area treated, which can be reduced with topical hydrocortisone cream purchased from your doctor’s office.
Treatment typically lasts from several minutes to an hour, depending on the size and shape of the area being treated. A small area like your top lip could take as little as 60 seconds while treating both legs may require up to 15 minutes – significantly faster than electrolysis or threading!
Most individuals need multiple laser hair removal sessions before seeing permanent results from laser hair removal, since hair follicles enter and exit anagen (the growing phase) at different points throughout life. One’s skin type and hair color will ultimately decide how many sessions will be necessary to see lasting changes.
