Alternative short-term treatments like waxing are usually much more painful than laser hair removal. Experiences differ, but most people find it to be a very tolerable procedure that feels similar to tiny pinpricks. The sensation should lessen with each laser hair removal treatment. The technician can apply a topical anesthetic cream to help those who are particularly sensitive.
Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for completely permanent hair removal. Laser hair removal is a semi-permanent procedure that will not get rid of hair forever, but it will minimize hair growth and produce finer hair that is harder to detect. This means you’ll be able to stop shaving your legs, armpits, bikini line, or wherever else you decide to have the treatment done.
The simple answer is “Yes”. Laser hair removal is the #1 non-invasive cosmetic procedure performed each year, with the lowest risk of adverse reaction. When performed by trained practitioners, side effects from laser hair removal are very uncommon.
Each body area can be completed in 20 minutes or less. Your appointment time will depend on how many areas we are treating that day. Because there is no down time with laser hair removal, you can easily get your treatment on your lunch break and return to work immediately. We take care to make sure that we give you a thorough treatment, and that you get in and out of our clinics as efficiently as possible so you can get back to your busy schedule.

Hair follicles transition through active and dormant stages and only about 30-50% of your hair is actively growing at any given time. With each treatment, we will cover the entire skin surface, but only those follicles that are “active” will be impacted. When a follicle is dormant, the laser light cannot be absorbed, and the follicle is left undamaged. We customize your treatment plan to ensure that we are matching your hair growth cycles and ensuring the best results possible for you.
The average number of treatments needed to achieve 70-90% permanent hair removal is about 8-12. This number varies from person to person and among body parts.
