What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment.  It utilizes a concentrated beam of laser energy to target the pigment in hair follicles. Once absorbed in the pigment of the hair bulb, it damages the hair follicle while preserving surrounding skin.

Hair growth occurs in a four-phase cycle. Laser beam works the best when hair is in its active growth phase. Because not all hairs are in the same phase at the same time, multiple sessions are required for optimal results.

Most patient’s require 6–8 treatments, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve significant long-term hair reduction.

What to Expect During Treatment

We personalize each treatment plan based on skin type, hair density, and individual goals.

• Sessions vary from 2–25 minutes depending on the area.
• Minimal discomfort (often described as a quick snapping sensation)
• There is no downtime
• Mild redness may occur and typically resolves within hours

How Many Treatments are needed?

The number of sessions varies from person to person. For most areas 6-8 treatments are needed. Thicker hair may need more sessions. You may notice gradual hair reduction after the first few sessions, and smoother skin develops over time. Also, many patient’s like the smoother finish it provides.

How far apart should the sessions be?

The sessions are mostly 6-8 weeks apart. This time allows hair to get into active phase of their growth cycle where laser is more effective. We do not recommend sessions sooner than 6 weeks. As the hair gets thinner, the duration between sessions gets longer.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction, but it is not considered 100% permanent. Additionally, many patients experience significant reduction in hair growth, with occasional maintenance sessions recommended over time.

Hormonal changes and genetics can influence long-term outcomes.
