About the Treatment
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Our laser emits a beam of light that is absorbed by the melanin pigment in your hair follicle. That light energy is converted into heat, which damages the follicle, inhibiting hair growth and delaying future growth.
Every plan begins with a complete consultation, where our trained technicians examine your skin type and your hair’s density and coarseness to determine how many treatments you’ll need for optimal results. Most people need 6 to 8 treatments.
Laser hair removal is a must-have for men too, on areas like the back, arms, shoulders, ears, hairline and neck.

Got Questions? We've Got Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Is laser hair removal painful?
It causes a little discomfort but is not painful. Our technology has a built-in cooling tip for a relaxing, safe and effective treatment, and typically feels much less uncomfortable than waxing.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people need 6 to 8 treatments, depending on the hair density and coarseness in the treatment area.
Do I need to shave before my appointment?
Yes. Shave the area the day before so the laser energy goes directly to the hair follicle rather than hair on the skin’s surface. Please arrive free of oils, lotions, moisturizers and deodorant on the area.
Are there side effects?
Side effects are minimal: mild swelling around the hair follicles and sometimes slight redness.
When does the hair fall out?
You’ll notice hairs begin to fall out 5 to 14 days after treatment, and they may continue to shed for weeks.
What should I avoid after treatment?
Avoid hot showers or baths for 24 to 48 hours, plus fragrances, active skincare ingredients, hot tubs and saunas, tanning beds and self-tanners, sun exposure and exfoliating scrubs on the treated area. Wait 48 hours before shaving.
Can I have laser hair removal while pregnant?
Although it is considered safe, doctors and dermatologists advise avoiding any laser procedure during pregnancy, as no studies have proven it safe for mother and baby.
What areas do men commonly treat?
The most common areas for men are the ears, back of the neck, hairline, shoulders, chest and back.
