How does Laser Hair Removal work?
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that sends targeted pulses of laser light to the hair follicle to weaken and ultimately destroy the growth of unwanted hair.
What is the process of Laser Hair Removal Treatment?
We use the Candela GentleMax Pro, a medical-grade laser system with two wavelengths, so your provider can choose the right setting for your skin and hair. Built-in cooling helps keep you comfortable during treatment.
Hair removal now can be done in almost any area of the body including face, neck, axilla (underarms), chest, back, abdomen and even the bikini area. Most patients require 6-8 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.
Popular Treatment Areas
For women, the most popular areas are the upper lip and chin, underarms, bikini line or Brazilian, and legs. For men, popular areas include the back, chest, shoulders, beard line, neck, and ears. Learn more on our Laser Hair Removal for Men page.
Laser Hair Removal for Ingrown Hairs and Razor Bumps
If shaving or waxing leaves you with ingrown hairs, razor bumps, or irritation on the bikini line, underarms, neck, or beard area, laser hair removal can help. By reducing the hair that grows back into the skin, it can significantly cut down on painful bumps and the dark spots they can leave behind.
Safe for All Skin Types, Including Darker Skin
Not every laser is safe for every skin tone. Our GentleMax Pro combines an Alexandrite laser for lighter skin with an Nd:YAG laser designed for medium to darker skin, so women and men of all skin types can get effective, long-lasting results. Your provider will examine your skin and hair at your consultation and make specific recommendations for you. Laser works best on hair with pigment; white, light blonde, and gray hair usually don't respond.
Unwanted Facial Hair, Hormones, and PCOS
Excess facial or body hair can be a sign of a hormonal condition such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and laser hair removal is a popular option for women with PCOS. Our providers at Allure Laser & Medical Spa can and do suggest a workup for possible hormonal causes of excess facial or body hair, such as PCOS or PMOS. Read more about PCOS on our partner practice's website.
Bikini vs. Brazilian: What's the Difference?
A bikini treatment cleans up the hair along the bikini line. A Brazilian removes most or all of the hair in the area. Your provider can help you decide which is right for you.
How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal
- Shave the treatment area the day before your appointment.
- Don't wax, pluck, or use hair-removal creams for several weeks before treatment, since the laser needs the hair root in place.
- Avoid sunburn, tanning, and self-tanning creams or lotions on the treatment area.
- Let your laser technician or provider know if you've started any new medications or have taken antibiotics in the 2–3 weeks before your treatment.
