. Do not tan the treated area for the duration of your treatment schedule and at least 4
weeks post your final treatment. Failure to comply with this may result in darkening or
lightening of the treated areas. Use a sunblock SPF 30 or higher throughout the course of
treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
Typically, 4 to 6 treatments is adequate to provide permanent hair reduction. However, after a one-on-one consultation, your provider may determine that based on the density of your hair, hair color and skin color, you may require additional treatment. Your provider will advise you. It’s not unusual to require a touch-up treatment two years after completing laser hair removal treatments.
Will my hair ever grow back?
Actively growing hairs that are treated should not grow back. Once a hair follicle is damaged it cannot grow hair. However, hair follicles that were not in the active growth phase will need to be treated. It’s also not unusual for patients to have a touch-up two years after initial treatment due to hormonal changes.
Why do I need 6-8 treatments?
Hair growth occurs in 4 stages: Early Anagen (early hair growth), Anagen (active hair growth) Catagen (regression) Telogen (resting, not growing) Laser hair removal only affects the Anagen stage, (actively growing hair). Therefore, approximately twenty-five-percent of hair is removed with each treatment. After 4 to 6 treatments, the area should be free from hair.
How do I know it really won’t hurt?
Most people find the laser hair removal treatment comfortable, especially when compared to other hair removal methods and lasers. This is one of few laser hair removal procedures where numbing cream is not necessary. Pain is subjective, however, so if you find it otherwise simply talk to your provider.
How much does laser hair removal cost?
The cost of treatments vary by location and body part. However, compared to a life time of waxing laser hair removal creates a significant savings that can save money year after year.
Do I need to arrange time off from work for treatments?
No. has no “down time” and requires no recovery time. You can have a treatment and return to work, school or other normal activities immediately.

Laser hair removal continues to gain popularity among both men and women. Look, today’s young movie stars and other celebrities sport a smooth, hair-free look for one reason – it looks great! Seriously, getting rid of unsightly hair not only adds to a guy’s attractiveness factor, it can give a huge boost to his self esteem, too. So what’s stopping you – or your guy – from laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal may make you famous! Okay, that’s a joke. We’re totally kidding. Most likely, laser hair removal won’t make you famous. Famous people may enjoy laser hair removal, but it didn’t make them famous. Laser hair removal can, however, give you a great number of benefits:
•No more shaving: Whether you’re a man or a woman, this can be a benefit that saves you time and money. And if you’re in the habit of cutting yourself while shaving, laser hair removal will spare you having to look at blood in the shower.
•No more waxing: Let’s face it. Smearing hot, near-boiling wax onto a sensitive area and then ripping it off along to remove hair is, uh, unpleasant. It’s an old school method and, depending on the body area, quite expensive. Laser hair removal can make this indignity a thing of the past.
