Laser Hair Removal
We perform laser hair removal using FDA-cleared, clinician-operated devices tailored to your skin type and treatment area to achieve safe, long-term hair reduction. After a medical consultation and skin-type assessment (and a brief patch test when appropriate), treatments are delivered in a series—typically 4–8 sessions spaced according to the area and hair growth cycle—with settings adjusted for optimal efficacy and comfort. Sessions are performed with in-room cooling and topical or procedural comfort measures as needed; common short-term effects include redness or mild swelling that resolve in days. Consultation, screening for contraindications, and individualized aftercare instructions are required to maximize safety and results.
How Does It Work?
How it works — the laser emits concentrated light that’s absorbed by pigment in the hair follicle and converted to heat, damaging the follicle to reduce future growth. Treatments are performed in a series (typically spaced weeks apart) to catch hairs in their active growth phase and progressively produce long-term hair reduction rather than instant permanent removal. Settings are adjusted for your skin tone, hair color, and treatment area to maximize safety and comfort, and most courses begin with a consultation and patch test. Expect gradual hair thinning and shedding over the weeks following treatment; individual results and number of sessions vary.
Treatment Areas
-
Face (upper lip, chin, cheeks)
Precise settings allow safe, long-term hair reduction on delicate facial zones like the upper lip, chin, and cheeks. These areas typically require more sessions for permanent reduction and are treated with lower energy and careful cooling to protect sensitive skin. -
Sideburns & Jawline
Targeted treatments smooth the sideburns and jawline for a clean, contoured look without shaving irritation. Clinician-adjusted settings minimize pigmentation risk and are ideal for correcting coarse or stubborn facial hair. -
Underarms
Underarm treatments significantly reduce hair and follicle thickness, improving comfort and reducing odor-related issues from irritation. Sessions are quick with minimal downtime, though a short series is needed for optimal, long-lasting results. -
Bikini Line
The bikini line is treated to reduce visible hair while preserving natural contours, perfect for tidy, low-maintenance results. We customize energy and spacing to balance efficacy and comfort for this sensitive area. -
Brazilian / Full Bikini
Full bikini treatments (Brazilian) remove more extensive hair with clinician-monitored comfort and privacy protocols. Due to density and sensitivity, these areas often require careful titration and a full treatment series for best outcomes. -
Full Leg / Lower & Upper Legs
Legs respond well to laser hair reduction, with full-leg or segmented (lower/upper) plans available depending on coverage needs. Larger areas are treated in staged sessions to manage comfort while delivering consistent, long-term reduction. -
Arms & Forearms
From full-arm smoothing to lower-forearm touch-ups, laser therapy reduces hair visibility and softens hair texture. Treatment plans are tailored by hair density and skin tone to ensure safe, even results. -
Chest & Abdomen
Chest and abdominal hair can be reduced for cosmetic, athletic, or hygiene reasons using settings optimized for larger surface areas. Multiple sessions spaced over growth cycles ensure progressive thinning and reduced regrowth. -
Back & Shoulders
Back and shoulder treatments are effective for achieving broad-area reduction and improved skin appearance, particularly for coarser hair. We treat large zones methodically for patient comfort and consistent coverage. -
Neck & Nape
Neck and nape treatments refine the hairline and reduce irritation from shaving or clothing friction. These small, visible areas are handled with precise settings to protect nearby facial skin. -
Hands, Fingers & Toes
Fine-area treatments (hands, fingers, toes) address isolated follicles and reduce the need for frequent grooming. These zones often improve texture and reduce the visibility of hair without significant downtime.
Quick note: All treatments begin with a consultation, skin-type assessment, and patch test when appropriate. Series of sessions are required for lasting reduction; results and timing vary by hair type, skin tone, and hormonal factors.
What To Expect
Most patients complete a series of treatments (typically 4–8 sessions, spaced about 4–8 weeks depending on the area) to catch hairs in their active growth phase. You’ll notice gradual thinning and shedding 1–3 weeks after a session, with results accumulating over subsequent visits — many experience long-term reduction, though maintenance treatments may be recommended. Sessions feel like quick pulses (often described as a snapping sensation) and are performed with in-room cooling; common short-term effects are mild redness or swelling that usually resolve within hours to a few days. Follow pre/post care (avoid sun, shave as instructed), and start with a consultation and patch test so we can personalize settings for your skin type and safety.
