Unwelcome hair growth can be embarrassing for everyone. And although there are plenty of hair removal options, they aren’t always worth it. Shaving and depilatory creams might be a quick fix, but they only get rid of the hair at the surface—not to mention the risk of nicks and adverse skin reactions. Waxing and plucking may deliver longer-lasting results, but treatments are painful and time-consuming. Where does that leave you?

FAQs
How does laser hair removal work?
During laser hair removal, a highly concentrated light beam is used to target the pigment (melanin) that is found in hair follicles. By absorbing light energy from the laser, the melanin in the hair converts it into heat. This damages the hair follicle and in turn inhibits hair growth. While the process is precise and effective for many types skin and hair colors, dark hair against lighter skin tones is most effective.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal provides long-lasting results, but it is not entirely permanent. Most clients experience significant hair reduction, and any regrowth often tends to be finer and lighter in color. The effectiveness varies based on factors like hair color, skin type, and treatment area. Maintenance sessions may be necessary to keep the treated area free of hair.
What should I expect in a laser hair removal session?
To protect the skin and enhance comfort, a technician will apply a cooling gel during a laser hair removal session. A handheld laser device is then used to precisely target the hair follicles. You might feel a slight snapping sensation, but discomfort is generally minimal. Sessions can last between a few minutes and an hour. This all depends on the size of the area being treated.
How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?
Hair color, skin type, and treatment area determine the amount sessions needed. Most people need 6 to 8 sessions that are spaced 4 to 6 weeks in order to achieve optimal results. Hair grows in cycles, and multiple repeated sessions are necessary to target hair during its active growth phase. Maintenance sessions may also be required to maintain long-term hair reduction.
Is laser hair removal safe for all types of skin?
Laser hair removal is safe for all skin types, but its effectiveness can vary. Advances in the laser technology have enabled us to treat a broader and wider range of skin tones. However, individuals with darker skin may require a specific type of laser to minimize the risk of skin discoloration.
What are some of the side effects of laser hair removal?
Most people experience minimal side effects from laser hair removal. Common side effects to be expected are temporary redness, tenderness, swelling, or mild discomfort in the treated area. These typically subside within a few hours. To minimize risks, it’s important to follow pre-and post-treatment guidelines provided by your technician.
