Light that targets the follicle

Laser hair removal removes hair by exposing it to pulses of laser light that destroy the follicle.

Our GentleMAX Pro™ system safely reduces unwanted facial and body hair without damaging the delicate pores and structures of the skin. A noninvasive pulse of light is delivered to the skin to reduce the unwanted hair — fast and effective, without sacrificing your comfort.

How many sessions will I need?

On average, 4–8 treatments are needed to see optimal results. Sessions are performed every 4–8 weeks, depending on the area of the body being treated.

What are the benefits of laser hair removal?

  • 01

    Gentle on the skin

    The GentleMAX Pro™ reduces hair without damaging the delicate pores and structures of the skin.

  • 02

    Many hairs at once

    Each pulse takes a fraction of a second and treats many hairs at the same time.

  • 03

    No downtime

    You may return to your normal activities straight after your laser treatment.

  • 04

    More comfortable than waxing

    Most clients feel warmth — as if a hot towel were being placed on the skin.

How to prepare, and what follows

The laser needs to be able to identify your hair follicles, so a little preparation makes a real difference to your results.

  1. 01

    Before your session

    Avoid waxing and tweezing for six weeks before any laser hair reduction — the laser needs an intact follicle to target. We encourage you to shave the treatment area the day before, to maximize your results.

  2. 02

    During treatment

    Each laser pulse takes a fraction of a second and treats many hairs at once, covering an area about the size of a quarter per second. Small areas such as the upper lip take around a minute; larger areas like the back or legs can take up to an hour.

  3. 03

    Afterwards

    You may return to your normal activities right away. Use sunscreen on any treated area that will be exposed to the sun — though limiting sun exposure altogether is best.

Laser hair removal can be used for

There is no real limit to where it can be used — these are the areas we treat most, with a rough guide to how long each session takes.

Laser hair removal, answered plainly

Still unsure? Bring the question to your complimentary consultation — there is no obligation to book a treatment.

How permanent is laser hair removal?

While laser hair removal doesn’t get rid of hair permanently, it does reduce hair growth dramatically. Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved procedure for permanent hair removal.

How effective is laser hair removal?

You can have it done anywhere on the body, and the machine covers large areas relatively fast — there are no real limits to where it can be used. One thing to take into consideration is that laser hair removal isn’t very effective on blonde or gray hair.

How much does laser hair removal cost?

The average cost is around $235 per treatment. The price varies widely depending on the size of the area being treated, the time involved and the number of treatments needed.

Does hair grow back after laser removal?

No hair removal method can guarantee that re-growth is permanently stopped. Laser hair removal is, however, the most effective way to reduce re-growth — by around 20% each session.

How painful is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal does not hurt as much as waxing. You will feel heat, as if a hot towel were being placed on your skin.
