The three questions everyone asks

Does laser hair removal hurt, and is it safe for dark skin?

01

Is it safe for darker skin?

It can be, with the right settings. Your provider checks your skin type at the consult and sets the laser for it. You can ask for a test spot on a small patch first. Tell them about any recent sun or tanning.

02

Does it hurt?

Most people describe a quick snap of heat, like a rubber band. Small areas take about 15 minutes. The skin can look pink for a few hours, and most people go back to their day.

03

How much does it cost?

It depends on the areas and the number of sessions. It is priced at your consult. Ask about payment options then.

How it works

How laser hair removal works

The laser heats the pigment in the hair root. That only works while the hair is growing, and hair grows in cycles, so it takes a series of sessions.

  1. 01

    Consult

    Your provider looks at your skin and hair, asks about medicines and sun, and sets the plan.

  2. 02

    Shave the area

    Shave 24 hours before. No waxing or plucking for four weeks before, because the laser needs the root.

  3. 03

    The session

    Goggles on. The handpiece moves over the area, pulse by pulse. Small areas take about 15 minutes.

  4. 04

    Between sessions

    Treated hair sheds over one to three weeks. The next session is four to eight weeks later, by area.

  • No waxing, plucking or threading for four weeks before.
  • Keep the area out of the sun for two weeks before and after. No tanning beds, no self-tanner.

Who treats you

Who does your laser hair removal

Your first visit is a consult with the provider who treats you. Ask about the settings for your skin and how many sessions you need.

No one pushes a package. If laser is not the right fit for your hair or skin, your provider tells you, and tells you what is.

So careful and professional.

Friendly environment and my hair laser treatment was a success… Faten and her employees made every sessions very comfortable.

I'm getting my laser hair removal done here, and I’m loving it…

I’ve been coming here for laser hair removal, chemical peels, and microneedling, and every single appointment has been amazing. The results are honestly better than I expected… my skin has never looked this smooth and glowing.

Questions

Laser hair removal questions

Is laser hair removal safe for darker skin?

It can be, with the right settings. Your provider checks your skin type at the consult and sets the laser for it. You can ask for a test spot first.

How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?

Most areas take 6 to 8 sessions, 4 to 8 weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles, and the laser only works on hair that is growing. Your provider gives you the number for your area at the consult.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Most people describe a quick snap of heat, like a rubber band. Small areas take about 15 minutes. The skin can look pink for a few hours.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

It is permanent hair reduction, not removal. Most treated hair does not grow back, and what does is often finer. Some people need a touch-up session later.

How much does laser hair removal cost?

It depends on the areas and the number of sessions. It is priced at your consult. Ask about payment options then.

Does laser help with PCOS facial hair?

It can reduce chin, lip and neck hair. Hormones can grow new hair over time, so some people need touch-up sessions. Tell your provider about PCOS at the consult.

Can laser stop ingrown hairs and razor bumps?

It often helps, because there is less hair to grow back into the skin. Your provider checks the area at the consult. Do not pick or wax the bumps before your visit.

I have sensitive skin. Can I still get laser?

Usually, yes. Tell your provider about reactions, eczema or medicines at the consult. They can test a small spot and adjust the settings.

Should I shave before laser? Is a little stubble OK?

Shave the area about 24 hours before. Short stubble is fine. Do not wax, pluck or thread for four weeks before, because the laser needs the root.

When does the hair fall out after laser?

Treated hair sheds over one to three weeks. While it pushes out, it can look like the hair is growing back. That is normal.

Who should not get laser hair removal?

Wait if you are pregnant, have a fresh tan, or take a medicine that makes your skin sensitive to light. Very light, gray or red hair usually responds poorly. Your provider checks all of this at the consult.

Does it work on light or gray hair?

Laser works best on dark hair. Blonde, gray, white and red hair usually respond less. Your provider checks your hair at the consult.

Do you do laser hair removal for men?

Yes. Men usually treat the back, shoulders, chest, neck or beard line. The consult and the plan work the same way.

Can I walk in for laser?

Yes, Tuesday to Saturday. Your first visit is a consult. If the plan fits and there is time, your first session can often start the same day.

What do I do after a session?

Keep the area out of the sun and wear sunscreen on it. Skip hot tubs and hard workouts for a day. Your provider goes over aftercare before you leave.
