Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that involves the use of a focused light beam (laser) to eliminate undesired hair. This treatment permanently destroys hair follicles and effectively delays hair growth for long periods.

What to expect
During laser hair removal, our experienced provider carefully directs laser energy to the targeted area of your skin. The handpiece cools and soothes as it moves across the skin, ensuring that when the light pulse is delivered, the patient may only feel a mild stinging or pinching sensation. The hair follicles absorb this energy, heating up until they are permanently damaged—preventing future hair growth. Once destroyed, those follicles can no longer produce hair.
Because hair grows in cycles and not all follicles are active at once, multiple treatment sessions are needed for the best results. Each session targets only the active follicles, so a series of treatments gives our team the best chance to fully eliminate unwanted hair in the treated area.
