How Is Laser Hair Removal Performed?

During your appointment, the treatment areas are cleaned to remove oils, dirt, and lotions. The technician will slightly stretch the skin to provide a clear path for the laser to target the hair follicle. The laser disables the follicle, preventing future hair growth. Typically, 3–5 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart are required to achieve optimal results. This spacing allows hair follicles in dormant phases to enter active growth, ensuring effective treatment. Our advanced laser technology targets the hair follicle while preserving surrounding skin and tissue.

What Should I Expect After Laser Hair Removal?

After treatment, the skin may appear slightly red, similar to mild sunburn. You can resume daily activities immediately, but it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise or prolonged sun exposure for at least a day. Soothing creams or cold packs can help reduce any mild discomfort following the procedure.
