The average laser hair removal treatment plan is around 6 sessions. However, everyone’s hair grows differently, and factors such as hair color, thickness, growth patterns, and the treatment area can affect how many sessions you may need. Your laser technician will evaluate your hair type and discuss your goals with you to provide a more accurate treatment plan.

Most clients describe laser hair removal as a quick snapping or warm sensation against the skin. To help keep treatments comfortable, we use a cooling gel during the procedure. Our laser also features contact cooling, with an integrated cooling tip on the handpiece that helps soothe and cool the skin throughout treatment. Comfort levels can vary depending on the treatment area and individual sensitivity, but most clients find the procedure quick and comfortable.

Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction. After completing your recommended series, you may notice significantly less hair and finer, slower regrowth. Occasional maintenance treatments may be recommended over time.

Laser hair removal can be used on many areas of the face and body, including the upper lip, chin, underarms, arms, chest, back, bikini area, Brazilian area, and legs. Your provider can help determine whether the area you want treated is appropriate for laser hair removal.

Avoid waxing, plucking, or tweezing before your appointment because the laser needs the hair follicle intact to effectively target it. You will typically be asked to shave the treatment area beforehand and avoid excessive sun exposure. We will provide specific preparation instructions before your treatment.

Our Lumenis Stellar M22 allows us to safely customize laser hair removal treatments for a wide range of skin tones, but it cannot be used for every skin tone. Melanin-rich skin may be contraindicated for IPL (the type of laser we offer). We require consultations prior to your first laser service so that we can assess and perform patch tests to ensure compatibility before you commit to treatment.

The system offers multiple hair removal settings and wavelengths, allowing your technician to select treatment parameters based on your individual skin tone and hair characteristics. Because laser hair removal works by targeting pigment in the hair, results can vary depending on hair color and thickness. Very light blonde, gray, white, and some red hair may not respond as effectively. Your technician will evaluate your skin and hair during your consultation to determine the safest and most effective treatment plan for you.
