Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a widely used method for reducing unwanted hair. Here is how the laser works: the light passes to the hair follicle and heats the area where the hair is formed. This heat damages the follicle and reduces its ability to grow hair.

It takes multiple treatments because our hair grows in cycles. Only a portion of your hair is actively growing at any given time, and each treatment targets the hairs that are growing then. In 4–6 weeks, a new group of hair follicles begins growing. These cycles are what make multiple treatments necessary.

Who Gets Hair Removal?

Honestly, aren't we all interested in getting rid of some hair? Or maybe shaving some areas a lot less often?

The most common area we treat is above the lip.

We often see men who want to remove unwanted hair from the chest, arms, back, or neck.

Women often ask if the bikini area is painful to treat. Our Candela GentleLase uses a cold refrigerant spray about 40 milliseconds before the laser flashes. This cooling effect is the sensation people describe.

It is not as bad as you might expect!

Yes, we can treat all of your skin from the waist down if you want.

Because hair grows in cycles, you will need more than one treatment. Pricing, including options for a series of treatments, is discussed at your consultation.

Treatments are typically every four weeks, and most people need four or five treatments.
