What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is safe, non-invasive, and non-irritating treatment for hair removal. This treatment is safe for all skin types. Laser hair removal treats dark hair that is either thick or thin, unfortunately this does not treat light or white hair.
How Laser Hair Removal Treatment Works
During a laser hair removal treatment, the laser targets the hair using focused laser energy. Put simply, laser targets melanin in the shaft to target hair follicles without damaging surrounding tissue. Because only follicles in the active (anagen) phase respond, several sessions are needed as new hair growth cycles in. This non-ablative laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime, and most people compare the sensation to a quick snap on the skin. In short, hair removal is a safe option in qualified hands—and when performed by trained professionals, removal is a safe choice for the majority of candidates.
The Technology Behind the Treatment
Dermatology practices often rely on multiple systems to serve different skin tones and hair colors. Platforms such as a 755 nm alexandrite laser—a benchmark wavelength for pigmented hair—are widely used across the field; similarly, the phrase 755 nm alexandrite often appears in professional literature when discussing melanin-selective devices. Your consultation determines the laser system matched to your skin type and goals. Whether we deploy advanced laser treatments, laser hair removal systems, or complementary skincare treatments, our objective is simple: select the best laser for your needs using proven laser hair removal technology and thoughtful protocol so you see smooth, clearer skin with consistent hair removal results.

Our clients benefit from safe and effective protocols, modern laser therapy systems, and a focus on delivering a permanent solution that addresses your unwanted hair concerns.

Who Is a Good Candidate?
Our laser hair removal process is designed for a wide range of skin tones and types. Results are typically most noticeable when there’s a contrast between hair and skin, but with careful planning and modern equipment, we can safely treat many unwanted hair situations.
We also consider factors like past skin treatments, your skincare products routine, and whether you have ingrown hairs or sensitive skin to fully personalize your care.
What to Expect: Comfort, Safety, and Results
You’ll notice progressive change in both the amount and thickness of hair. Over time, regrowth becomes finer, lighter, and less frequent—many describe the effect as long-term hair control or long-lasting hair reduction. For some, permanent hair reduction is the practical outcome; others opt for periodic touch-ups to stay hair-free in high-visibility zones. With thoughtful aftercare, patients often report smoother texture and radiant skin that feels calm and balanced.
Every laser hair removal session is performed with your safety and comfort in mind. You may experience temporary redness or mild irritation, but most patients resume normal activities right away. Avoiding sun exposure before and after each treatment protects your skin cells and maximizes effectiveness.
Treatment Areas & Timeline
Common treatment area options include the upper lip, chin, cheeks, underarms, areas like the bikini and Brazilian, legs, arms, chest, and back. We also treat large areas efficiently with platforms engineered for consistency. If you’re curious about permanent hair control in multiple zones, we can map a full body sequence and timing that fits your schedule while maintaining comfort throughout each laser session.
Most patients require six to ten sessions spaced about four to eight weeks apart. This schedule allows us to target new hair growth as it emerges, ensuring a more complete reduction in both density and thickness.
Our goal is to reduce your reliance on shaving or waxing, giving you a long-term solution that fits your lifestyle.
