Everything you need to know about laser hair removal before your first appointment.
The Basics
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles. The heat from the laser damages the follicle, inhibiting future hair growth — without harming the surrounding skin. Over a series of sessions, the treated follicles stop producing hair permanently.
Yes — laser hair removal produces permanent hair reduction. Most clients achieve 85–95% permanent reduction after completing their full treatment plan (typically 6–8 sessions). Some clients may need occasional touch-up sessions for any remaining fine hairs, but the vast majority of treated hair is gone for good.
Most clients need 6–8 sessions spaced 6-12 weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles, and laser treatment is only effective during the active growth phase — which is why multiple sessions are required to catch every follicle. Factors like hair color, skin tone, and treatment area can affect the total number of sessions needed.
We treat virtually any area of the body, including the face (upper lip, chin, cheeks), underarms, arms, legs, bikini and Brazilian, back, chest, shoulders, stomach, and neck. We offer both individual area treatments and full-body packages.
Pain & Comfort
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap or mild stinging — similar to a rubber band flicking against the skin. Our devices include an integrated cooling system that significantly reduces discomfort during treatment. Sensitive areas like the bikini line may feel more intense, but sessions are short and the discomfort is very manageable.
Session length depends on the treatment area. Small areas like the upper lip or underarms take as little as 10–15 minutes. Larger areas like full legs or the back take 30–60 minutes. Full-body treatments typically take around 2 hours. We'll give you an accurate time estimate at your free consultation.
There is no significant downtime. Most clients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. You may experience some mild redness or sensitivity in the treated area for a few hours, similar to a light sunburn. We recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and hot showers for 24–48 hours after each session.
Skin & Hair Types
Yes. We use FDA-cleared technology specifically designed to safely and effectively treat all skin tones, including darker complexions (Fitzpatrick Types IV–VI). Our Nd:YAG and Alexandrite laser is particularly well-suited for darker skin tones, using longer wavelengths that bypass the skin's surface pigment and target the hair follicle directly.
Laser hair removal works best on dark, coarse hair because the laser targets melanin (pigment). It is less effective on very light blonde, red, gray, or white hair, which have little to no melanin. During your free consultation, we'll assess your hair and skin type and give you an honest assessment of expected results.
Absolutely. We treat a large number of male clients for back, chest, shoulders, stomach, neck, and facial hair. Laser hair removal is just as effective for men as it is for women. Our team is experienced with men's treatments and will make you feel completely comfortable throughout the process.
Preparation & Aftercare
Shave the treatment area 24–48 hours before your session — do not wax, pluck, or use depilatory creams for at least 4 weeks prior, as these remove the hair root that the laser needs to target. Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 2 weeks before treatment. Come to your appointment with clean, product-free skin in the treatment area.
For 24–48 hours after treatment, avoid direct sun exposure (use SPF 30+ if going outside), hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and intense exercise. Do not wax or pluck between sessions — shaving is fine. Keep the treated area moisturized and avoid any harsh skincare products or exfoliants for a few days.
Yes — shaving between sessions is perfectly fine and will not affect your results. In fact, we recommend shaving rather than waxing or plucking, which remove the hair root and reduce the laser's effectiveness. You'll likely notice that hair grows back slower and finer between sessions as your treatment progresses.

Pricing varies by treatment area. Individual sessions start at $149 for small areas like underarms and go up to $1,299 for full-body treatments.
