Laser Hair Removal Q & A
How Does It Work?
Prior to your treatments, it’s important that you don’t wax, pluck, or have electrolysis for 4 to 6 weeks. It is totally ok to shave. Our expert med spa staff will adjust the laser equipment to your specific hair color, target zone, and hair thickness. Our FDA cleared Laser will use an intense, pulsating beam of laser light to target individual hair follicles, destroying them to inhibit future hair growth. Afterward, we will apply ice packs and anti-inflammatory ointments to ease any temporary discomfort or mild redness that may occur.
Is Laser Hair Removal Right for You?
If these questions describe your struggle with unwanted hair, our system may be the perfect laser hair removal technique for you:
- Are you frustrated by the pain, inconvenience, and high price of repeated waxing, shaving, plucking, and electrolysis?
- Do you want the safest possible permanent hair reduction system that still achieves beautiful results?
- Are you a woman embarrassed by unwanted facial or body hair or a man struggling with humiliating hair on your back or too-dense hair in other areas?
Laser Hair Removal Fast Facts
- Treatments are quick and convenient, ranging from just minutes for small facial areas to up an hour for larger zones like the legs or back.
- 6 to 8 treatments are required for optimal results because LHR only targets hair in the anagen (active growth) stage. Approximately 20% of hair is treated with each treatment, so multiple sessions are required for each body area.
- Actively growing hairs that are treated with laser hair removal should not grow back. Some patients may require a touch-up treatment 1 to 2 years after their initial sessions because of natural hormonal changes that can change hair growth patterns.

Results
For a couple of days following treatment, treated areas may look and feel slightly sunburned. Cold compresses and gentle moisturizers will ease any discomfort and help the skin to heal. Over the next month, treated hairs will fall out. Be sure to use quality sunscreen for the month after treatment (and just in general!) to prevent temporary changes in the color of treated skin. Usually, 4 to 6 sessions are required for maximum hair reduction in the treated areas.
For Laser Hair Removal
Frequently Asked Questions
Laser hair removal works by directing a beam of highly concentrated light into hair follicles. The pigment in the follicles absorbs the light, which destroys the hair.
Most patients experience some level of discomfort during laser hair removal. However, the sensation is often described as a slight burning or pinching feeling that is well-tolerated. Your technician can use cooling techniques to help minimize any discomfort.
A minimum of 6 treatment sessions is recommended for the best aesthetic outcome. Laser hair removal technology can only affect hair in the active phase of growth, so several treatments are needed to affect all your unwanted hair.
Laser hair removal is effective on almost any part of the body where hair growth is unwanted, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini area.
