Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that targets and disables hair follicles using concentrated beams of light. When the laser is administered, pigment in the hair absorbs the light, which damages the follicle and inhibits future growth. This advanced technology is designed for long-term hair reduction and works best when performed over a series of sessions. It’s a safe and effective alternative to traditional methods like shaving, waxing, and tweezing, with modern systems adaptable to various skin tones and hair types.
Laser hair removal eliminates the need for regular hair removal and helps improve the condition of the skin. By reducing ingrown hairs, razor burn, and irritation, patients can enjoy smoother, healthier-looking skin with a non-invasive treatment that requires little to no downtime and long-lasting results.

Laser hair removal is highly versatile and can be used to treat almost any part of the body where unwanted hair grows, which could include:
While laser hair removal is especially effective for those with darker hair and fairer skin, newer laser technologies allow safe treatment across a wide range of skin tones. Ideal candidates are patients seeking a long-term solution for hair removal with little to no recovery time. Patients with very light, gray, or red hair, which lacks the pigment necessary to absorb laser energy, may not be ideal candidates.
During the consultation, your provider will assess your skin type and medical history to determine if laser hair removal is right for you. You’ll also receive a customized treatment plan, including the number of sessions recommended and what kind of results to expect.
Preparation involves avoiding sun exposure for at least 2 weeks and shaving the area the day before treatment.
A typical laser hair removal session lasts anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. Your provider will use a handheld laser device that emits light pulses into the hair follicles coupled with a cooling device. While some patients describe the sensation as a quick snapping feeling, most find it tolerable. We do have Nitronox (laughing gas) available for sensitive areas.
There is little to no downtime following laser hair removal, but most patients experience some redness or mild sensitivity, similar to a slight sunburn, which resolves within a few hours. It’s best to avoid hot showers, strenuous workouts, and sun exposure for at least 24 to 48 hours to prevent further irritation. Gentle skincare and hydration are encouraged, while exfoliating products and harsh treatments should be avoided until the skin has fully calmed.
Results develop gradually over multiple sessions. Most patients notice a reduction in hair growth after their second or third treatment, with optimal results typically seen after six to eight sessions spaced several weeks apart. Hair will grow back finer and slower with each session, and many patients enjoy long-lasting smoothness with only occasional maintenance.
Your skin may feel sensitive for a day or two, so gentle care is essential. Patients should moisturize regularly, wear loose clothing to reduce friction, and avoid sun exposure. Patients should not wax, tweeze, or use depilatory creams between sessions—shaving is the only recommended hair removal method during the treatment process.

Laser hair removal patients typically report some mild discomfort that may feel like a snapping or warm sensation, but it is not usually considered painful.
This procedure is considered safe and effective when performed by a skilled professional, and serious risks are rare, but possible minor side effects could include swelling or redness.
After several initial sessions to ensure that as many follicles as possible have been shut down, results with laser hair removal are typically very long-lasting or permanent.
This treatment requires no downtime, but patients may experience some mild redness after the procedure, which will resolve on its own.
The cost of laser hair removal varies depending on the area to be treated, how many initial sessions are needed, and the overall patient treatment plan.
