What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser Hair Removal uses safe, modern technology to target hair follicles with light energy. It gently reduces hair growth over time — leaving your skin smoother, longer.
Laser is most effective on dark hair with light skin, as the laser requires pigment in the hair to detect the follicle. Meaning blonde, white, gray, and sometimes red hair do not respond to laser because they lack enough melanin. We offer both Alex and Nd:YAG wavelengths with our laser so we can treat all skin tones, including darker tones.
Most clients need between 6 and 10 sessions, spaced four to eight weeks apart, depending on the area being treated. You may notice a 10–25% reduction after your first session, with more visible thinning and slower regrowth beginning around sessions 3-4. Full results continue to develop over time, and some clients, especially those treating hormonally influenced areas such as the face, chest, or abdomen, benefit from occasional maintenance sessions once or twice per year.
