Before Treatment:

• Complete online health history + Good-Faith Exam with our medical director

• Arrive freshly shaved 24–48 hours prior

• Avoid sun exposure and self-tanners for 2 weeks

During Treatment:

• The procedure uses quick pulses of laser light to target hair follicles and remove hair, providing long-lasting results by inhibiting future hair growth.

• Laser hair removal treatments work best on dark hair and are effective for a variety of hair types.

• The procedure is safe and effective; some patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin, but most do not find it painful.

• You’ll feel a cool burst from the Dynamic Cooling Device before each pulse.

• Small areas take just minutes; larger areas take under an hour.

After Treatment:

• Mild redness may appear, similar to a light sunburn, and mild swelling may occur but typically subsides within a few days.

• Hair will shed in the following 1–2 weeks.

• Laser hair treatments target hair growth cycles, so most patients require multiple sessions. How many treatments or how many sessions are needed depends on the treatment area, hair types, and individual hair growth. Sessions are typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart for best results.

Proper aftercare is key to achieving the best results from your laser hair removal treatment. After each session, keep the treated area clean and avoid touching or scratching, as this helps prevent irritation and infection. It’s important to steer clear of sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks after treatment, since UV rays can make your skin more sensitive and may impact the effectiveness of your laser hair removal.

To protect your skin and prevent sun damage, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, especially on areas exposed to sunlight. For the first week after your treatment, avoid harsh skincare products, exfoliating, or waxing the treated area as these can disrupt the healing process and irritate the skin.

Laser hair removal works by targeting the hair follicle during active growth cycles, so multiple treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart are recommended for permanent hair removal and optimal results. Because hair grows in different cycles, some hair follicles may remain dormant and require additional sessions to achieve your hair removal goals. Maintenance treatments may also be needed to keep unwanted hair at bay, especially as new hair can develop over time.

Working with an experienced practitioner ensures your treatment plan is tailored to your unique skin type, hair color, and hair growth patterns. By following your aftercare instructions and committing to your scheduled treatment sessions, you’ll enjoy smoother skin, fewer ingrown hairs, and a significant reduction in unwanted body hair.

Consistency and patience are essential, laser hair removal is an effective treatment for long-term hair reduction, but results build over time. With the right aftercare and maintenance, you can achieve a permanent solution to unwanted hair and enjoy the confidence of radiant, hair-free skin.
