How does laser hair removal work?

It helps to think about how your body typically grows hair. Millions of hair follicles cover your skin, each acting as a tiny channel to the surface of your skin. 

At the base of each follicle sits a root that produces hair cells. As those cells stack atop one another, they form strands of hair. This process happens in cycles, including an active growth phase, a transition phase, and a resting phase. 

Laser hair removal works by using a concentrated beam of light to create heat in the deeper layers of your skin. The laser light is drawn to the pigment in your hair, creating heat that damages the hair root and prevents normal hair growth. This process works best during the active growth cycles, so you need multiple treatments.  

Is laser hair removal expensive?

Laser hair removal replaces the constant shave–wax–repeat cycle with long-term hair reduction and consistently smooth skin. A series of quick treatments targets hair at the root to curb regrowth and tame ingrowns—hello, low-maintenance glow. Package options are available.

Most areas take just minutes per visit with no downtime. After a handful of sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, you’ll spend less time managing hair and more time enjoying the results. We’ll tailor your plan to your skin and hair type for safe, natural-looking smoothness.

Are laser hair removal treatments painful?

Most people find laser hair removal easily tolerable. Many liken the sensation to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. This sensation only lasts a second and occurs only when there’s some hair left to be treated. 

That means each laser hair removal session should be a little more comfortable than the last one since fewer hairs will be left to absorb the light and become heated. If you have especially sensitive skin, let Sheila know, and she can provide a numbing cream for you to apply before your session. 

Are my laser hair removal results permanent?

Laser hair removal can reduce future hair growth. Once you complete a series of treatments, you can enjoy smooth skin without shaving, plucking, or waxing. In most cases, periodic touch-up treatments are necessary to extend your results.
