How many laser hair removal sessions do I need?

Multiple sessions are generally recommended because hair grows in different cycles. The number of treatments varies based on the treatment area, hair characteristics, skin characteristics, and individual response.

Can laser hair removal permanently remove hair?

Laser hair removal is designed for long-term reduction of unwanted hair. Some hair may regrow over time, and maintenance treatments may be recommended.

Can I shave before laser hair removal?

Shaving is generally preferred before treatment because it leaves the hair follicle in place while reducing hair above the surface of the skin.

Can I wax before laser hair removal?

Waxing and other hair-removal methods that pull the hair from the root are generally avoided before laser treatment because the follicle needs to be present for the laser to target it.

Is laser hair removal painful?

Sensation varies by person and treatment area. Many people describe the feeling as brief snapping or warmth during individual pulses.

THE DIFFERENCE

What if you didn't have to shave tomorrow?

If you're tired of constantly shaving, waxing, or dealing with unwanted hair, laser hair removal may be a better long-term option.

Rather than simply removing the hair you can see, laser hair removal targets the hair follicle itself. With a series of treatments, the goal is long-term reduction in unwanted hair growth.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy that is absorbed by pigment in the hair follicle. The energy is converted to heat, which can damage the follicle and reduce future hair growth.

Target

The laser is directed toward the targeted hair follicles.

Heat

Light energy is absorbed by pigment in the hair and converted into heat.

Reduce

Repeated treatments can help reduce future hair growth over time.

WHY MULTIPLE SESSIONS?

Your Hair Grows in Cycles.

Not every hair is actively growing at the same time. Because laser hair removal works best when the hair is in a particular growth phase, multiple sessions are typically needed.

Growth The active growth phase is when treatment can be most effective.

Transition Hair transitions between active growth and resting.

Rest The follicle enters a resting phase before another growth cycle.

Laser vs. Shaving vs. Waxing

Every method has its place. Here's why many people choose laser hair removal when they're ready for a longer-term approach.

Laser

Targets the hair follicle and is designed for long-term reduction of unwanted hair with a series of treatments.

Shaving

Cuts hair at the surface. It's convenient, but hair continues to grow and regular maintenance is required.

Waxing

Removes hair from the root, but the process needs to be repeated as hair grows back.

Before Your Appointment

Shave

Follow your provider's shaving instructions before your appointment. The goal is to minimize hair above the surface while keeping the follicle intact.

Skip Waxing

Avoid waxing or other methods that pull hair from the root before treatment because the follicle needs to remain present for the laser to target it.

Avoid Excess Sun

Follow your provider's instructions regarding sun exposure and tanning before treatment.

Come With Clean Skin

Arrive with the treatment area clean and free from products that could interfere with the treatment.
