Frequently Asked Questions
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target and heat the hair follicle. This damages the follicle, slowing or preventing future hair growth while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction, not always complete permanent removal. Many clients see a 70–90% reduction after completing their series of treatments. Occasional maintenance sessions may be needed.
Most clients need 8-12 sessions, spaced 4–8 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area, hair type, and skin type. Hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase.
Most people describe the feeling as a quick snap, similar to a rubber band. Some areas are more sensitive than others, but our advanced devices have built-in cooling technology to keep treatments comfortable.
Yes. When performed by trained professionals with FDA-approved technology, laser hair removal is a safe and effective procedure. Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually subsides within a few hours, occasionally a few days.
Laser hair removal can be performed almost anywhere on the body, including:
- Face (upper lip, chin, sideburns)
- Arms & Underarms
- Legs
- Back & chest
- Bikini & Brazilian
- More areas not included *
Laser hair removal works best on individuals with darker hair and lighter skin, but with today’s advanced technology, all skin tones and most hair types can be safely treated. The key with success is the hair MUST be black or brown and darker than your skin tone. A consultation helps determine the best plan for you.
- Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment.
- Avoid waxing, tweezing, or threading for at least 4 weeks prior (the follicle must be intact).
- Stay out of direct sun and tanning beds for 2-4 weeks before treatment.
- Arrive with clean skin, free of lotions, makeup or deodorant.
- Mild redness or swelling is normal and usually fades within a few hours.
- Hairs may appear to "grow" in the days after treatment—this is the body shedding treated hair.
- Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and intense workouts for 24 hours.
- Protect your skin with SPF.
For safety reasons, we do not recommend laser hair removal during pregnancy. Treatments can be resumed after pregnancy.
In general, LHR is not covered by insurance, as it is considered a cosmetic procedure. Though, you can contact your insurance company for more information regarding options. However, laser hair removal is cost effective and our office accepts all major credit cards and offers both single treatment and package options.
