Hair Removal Laser

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that can be used to reduce hair growth on virtually any part of the body.

It’s an excellent option for women and men, and popular treatment areas include underarms, bikini, legs, arms, chest, back, neck, and face.

Our state-of-the-art lasers, including the Cutera EXCEL HR and the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus®, are highly effective for permanent hair removal and can safely treat all skin types and tones. That being said, please avoid sun exposure or self-tanners prior to your laser hair removal session, as recently-tanned skin can increase the risk of blisters or burns.

Because laser hair removal works by targeting melanin in hair follicles, hair must contain shades of brown or black to be effective. Consequently, gray, white, and blonde hair is not well-suited for this treatment. Additionally, peach fuzz on the face typically does not respond to laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal gradually thins and reduces hair growth with each session and produces cumulative benefits.

To achieve optimal results, a series of 6 treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart is recommended to coincide with maturation of hair follicles.

Most patients find laser hair removal to be a fast, efficient, and fairly comfortable procedure. For many areas, the treatment can be performed in a matter of minutes and feels similar to a light snapping of a rubber band against the skin. A majority of men and women report that it’s much more tolerable than waxing, plucking, or threading.
