Laser Hair Removal

What happens during a laser hair removal session?

A typical laser hair removal session lasts anywhere from just a few minutes to about an hour, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Before your treatment begins, you’ll be given protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light. Once the session starts, the laser emits quick pulses of light that target and damage hair follicles.

What does it feel like? Most patients describe it as a quick, tolerable prickling sensation—similar to a rubber band snap—while others feel minimal to no discomfort at all. Sensation levels can vary depending on the density and thickness of your hair, but our technology and cooling systems are designed to keep you comfortable from start to finish.

Do I need to do anything special before my appointment?

Absolutely—following our pre-care instructions is essential for best results. This may include avoiding sun exposure, self-tanners, waxing, or tweezing before your session.

Is there downtime afterward?

Laser hair removal is minimally-invasive, so there’s no real downtime. You may notice mild redness or sensitivity in the treated area for a few hours, but you can get back to your usual activities right away—just follow our aftercare guidelines.

How soon will I notice results?

You may see hair begin to shed within a couple of weeks after your first session, with results improving progressively over your treatment series.
