Say hello to lasting smoothness!

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.
