Getting Smooth Skin with Laser Hair Removal

Just about any area with hair on it can be treated by laser hair removal. It's a safe and effective way to remove and reduce unwanted hair, and with new advancements in laser technology, now is the best time there's ever been to seek this treatment.

Some of the most popular areas where people receive laser hair removal for include:

• Arms

• Face (sideburns, chin, upper lip, most commonly)

• Bikini line/Brazilian

• Chest

• Back

• Legs (upper and lower)

This treatment option is suitable for any gender, hair type, and skin type. Please let us know if you had another area in mind for laser hair removal, and we'll discuss your options.

There are actually multiple types of lasers that can be used in laser hair removal treatments! In fact, advancements in technology (and lasers) have come a long way since the original laser - the "Ruby" laser - was used.

It had a deep red color and worked best on light, thin hair, particularly on individuals with lighter skin tones. This was certainly not ideal, so advancements in laser technology have greatly expanded access to laser hair removal treatments.

The original laser was accompanied by long pauses between each light pulse to reduce discomfort, but also led to even longer appointment times. Thankfully, treatments nowadays can be done in a matter of minutes (depending on the treatment area).

The Alexandrite laser is another red-colored laser that has increased in popularity. It's great for large treatment areas, is very quick, and works for a larger range of skin tones.

The Diode laser is another popular option these days, working very well for coarser hair and darker skin tones.

Since treatment plans will vary based on the treatment area, how much hair there is, and how coarse the hair is, we can't promise that one person will need the same number of treatments as somebody else.

However, generally, 3-4 treatments are needed for optimal results from laser hair removal.

In particular, the average number of treatments needed for each area are as follows:

Arms

6-8 sessions

Back

6-8 sessions

Bikini

4-6 sessions

Brazilian

6 sessions

Legs

4-6 sessions

Underarms

3-4 sessions

Remember, this is just a guideline, and you may require fewer (or more) treatments. We'll be sure to let you know when we have a consultation before your first appointment!

Laser hair removal does require multiple treatments to see its full results. Because of that, you will need to continue shaving between appointments.

However, you will certainly notice a reduction in the amount of hair (and their coarseness) as you complete each of the appointments in your treatment plan.

The number of treatments you'll need to see the full effects of the laser hair removal will depend on the area being treated (particularly the size), how much hair there is, and how coarse it is. These are all factors that will affect your treatment plan.

However, all hair types are eligible for this treatment, so no need to fret! We will get rid of that unwanted hair for you in no time.
