We typically recommend a series of 6 treatments every 6 weeks for new patients. This means that the full treatment cycle can take up to nine months. After each session, you'll likely notice fewer hairs. Due to the normal hair growth cycle, touchup sessions may be needed to ensure all unwanted hair is successfully removed.

The cost of Laser Hair Removal varies based on the size of the area and how much hair is removed. We can target any area of the body, but everyone’s a little bit different. When you come in for a complimentary consultation, we’ll customize a package based on what your needs are.

Laser hair removal is more than just ”zapping” unwanted hair. It is a medical procedure that requires training to perform and carries potential risks. Before getting laser hair removal, you should thoroughly check the credentials of the doctor or technician performing the procedure. If you are planning on undergoing laser hair removal, you should limit plucking, waxing, and electrolysis for six weeks before treatment. That’s because the laser targets the hairs’ roots, which are temporarily removed by waxing or plucking. You should also avoid sun exposure for six weeks before and after treatment. Sun exposure makes laser hair removal less effective and makes complications after treatment more likely.

How many sessions does it take to get the optimal results? For underarm treatments in particular, we would recommend a minimum course of 6 sessions every 6-8 weeks to have 80-90% reduction. However, hair growth is hormonal so results could vary from one individual to another and certain areas could require additional sessions. The sessions themselves take five to 10 minutes.

One of the biggest benefits to laser hair removal is that it is much less painful than electrolysis. The laser procedure itself is not nearly as painful, and since sessions are shorter, the patient does not need to experience repeated and continued discomfort. Laser hair removal is often less costly than electrolysis as well.

While laser hair removal can work on any body part you wish to remove hair from, it is especially effective for underarms, on the bikini, lip, and chin areas.
