What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a safe, FDA-approved treatment that uses targeted light energy to reduce unwanted hair. The laser works by focusing on the pigment in your hair follicles—heating and damaging them to slow down or stop future growth. This precise, science-backed method offers long-term results with minimal discomfort and is effective for many skin tones and hair types.

Understanding the Hair Growth Cycle

To get the best results from laser hair removal, it helps to understand how hair grows. Our hair goes through three natural phases:

  • Anagen – the active growth phase
  • Catagen – the transitional phase
  • Telogen – the resting phase

Laser treatments are most effective during the anagen phase, when hair is actively growing and rich in pigment. Since not all hairs are in this phase at the same time, multiple sessions—spaced a few weeks apart—are needed to catch each hair at its most responsive stage. This ensures smoother, longer-lasting results across the treated area.

Your Treatment Plan & What to Expect

Laser hair removal is a journey—and consistency is key. Most clients see the best results after 6 to 8 sessions, spaced every 4–6 weeks for the face and 6–8 weeks for the body. This timing ensures that we target hair during its most active growth phase.

You can expect to see gradual, noticeable reduction after just a few sessions—often as early as session two or three. Results vary from person to person based on factors like hair color, skin tone, and hormonal balance, but each treatment brings you closer to smoother, low-maintenance skin.

What to Expect from Your Laser Hair Removal Session

Before Your Treatment

Preparing your skin properly helps ensure safe, effective results. Here’s how to get ready for your appointment:

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning—including self-tanners—for at least 2 weeks prior
  • Shave the treatment area 24–48 hours before your session
  • Pause use of retinoids, exfoliants, or harsh skincare products that may increase sensitivity
  • Let us know about any medications you’re taking, especially those that may cause photosensitivity

We’ll go over everything with you during your consultation so you feel confident and well-prepped before your first session.

After Your Treatment

Caring for your skin after each laser session is just as important as the treatment itself. Following these simple guidelines will help maximize your results and minimize any sensitivity:

  • Apply a cool compress if you feel any warmth or mild discomfort
  • Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for 24–48 hours
  • Always use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen on treated areas
  • Refrain from plucking, waxing, or using depilatory creams between sessions
  • Gently exfoliate a few days after treatment to help prevent ingrown hairs as shedding begins

We’ll guide you through every step of the process—so you feel confident, comfortable, and well cared for at every visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hair Removal

1How does the treatment feel?
Most patients experience a mild "snapping" on the skin as the laser is moved over the treatment area. Clarity has a specialized skin-cooling system that provides a more comfortable treatment.
2How do I prepare for a treatment?
Usually the area to be treated should be shaved first to ensure a more comfortable and effective treatment but your physician or practitioner will provide you with detailed instructions prior to your series of treatments.
3How does laser hair removal work?
The treatment uses pulses of light to target and damage hair follicles during their growth phase. The laser focuses on the pigment in the hair, heating and disrupting the follicle to reduce future growth in areas like the face, legs, underarms, and bikini.
4What’s a laser hair removal treatment like?
Sessions can take just a few minutes or up to an hour, depending on the area. Before starting, your provider will go over medical questions and prep your skin by removing anything like makeup or lotion. You’ll wear protective glasses during the procedure, and many clients choose to relax with music or videos while being treated. Afterward, you’ll receive soothing cream and simple post-treatment care tips to follow.
5Does laser hair removal hurt?
Sensitivity varies per person—some people feel a quick snap, while others barely notice. It also depends on which body area is being treated. Thankfully, clinics often use cooling tools, stress balls, or ice packs to keep you comfortable.
6Which lasers do you use?
The technology typically includes dual-wavelength systems like the Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers, which are effective across a wide range of skin tones and body areas without harming surrounding skin.
1Will I experience any side effects?
Minor reactions like redness or mild bumps can happen but usually clear up in a day or two. Following aftercare instructions will help reduce any temporary irritation.
2Is laser hair removal permanent?
It leads to long-term reduction in hair growth, with most people seeing up to 80% reduction after several sessions. Maintenance may be needed depending on the area and hair type.
3How do I prepare for a laser hair removal treatment?
You should avoid waxing or tweezing for about six weeks before your appointment and stay out of the sun or tanning booths for two weeks prior.
4How many treatments will I need?
Most people need around 6–8 sessions, spaced several weeks apart. The exact number depends on hair density, growth cycle, and the area being treated.
5Is there anyone who can’t get laser hair removal?
While the procedure is safe for most skin types, it doesn’t work well on very light-colored hairs (like blonde, grey, or red) due to the lack of pigment needed for the laser to target.
6Why laser hair removal at LaserAway?
While the procedure is safe for most skin types, it doesn’t work well on very light-colored hairs (like blonde, grey, or red) due to the lack of pigment needed for the laser to target.
