What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses concentrated light beams to remove unwanted hair. The laser emits light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair, converting to heat and damaging the hair follicles to inhibit future growth.
This FDA-approved treatment has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States, offering a long-term solution for unwanted hair on virtually any area of the body.
How It Works
During treatment, a handheld device delivers pulses of laser light to the treatment area. The light targets the melanin in hair follicles, heating them to the point where they can no longer produce hair. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to catch all follicles in their active growth phase.
Ideal Candidates
Laser hair removal works best on individuals with light skin and dark hair, as the contrast helps the laser target the hair follicle. However, advances in technology have made it effective for a wider range of skin tones. Ideal candidates are those looking for a long-term solution to unwanted hair and are committed to completing the full treatment series.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most people need 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. This is because hair grows in cycles, and the laser can only effectively treat hair in the active growth phase. Some areas may require maintenance sessions once or twice a year.
Most patients describe the sensation as a rubber band snapping against the skin. Modern lasers include cooling technology to minimize discomfort. Sensitive areas like the bikini line may be more uncomfortable than areas like the legs. Numbing cream can be applied for sensitive patients.
Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction, not complete removal. After completing your treatment series, you can expect 70-90% permanent reduction in hair growth. Some fine or light hairs may persist, and occasional maintenance sessions may be needed.
Costs vary by treatment area and location. Small areas like the upper lip typically cost $150-$300 per session, while larger areas like full legs can cost $400-$800 per session. Many providers offer package deals that reduce the per-session cost.
Modern laser technology has made treatment possible for most skin types, though results vary. The best candidates have light skin with dark hair. Those with darker skin tones should seek providers with Nd:YAG lasers specifically designed for darker skin.
Almost any area of the body can be treated, including face, underarms, bikini area, legs, arms, back, chest, and stomach. The only areas typically avoided are directly around the eyes.
