Laser hair removal has become a preferred choice over traditional waxing and shaving for many people. Unlike temporary methods that require constant upkeep, laser treatments can produce long-lasting reduction in hair growth, making them a cost-effective option over time compared with the ongoing expense of frequent waxing appointments or daily shaving supplies. Treatments are quick and require virtually no downtime, so you can return to your normal activities immediately—no awkward waddle from the salon or irritation from razor burn. With fewer touch-ups needed and smoother skin between sessions, laser hair removal simplifies maintenance and frees up time in your routine.
Most patients require 6–8 sessions, spaced according to the treatment area and hair cycle; individual needs vary.
Laser significantly reduces hair and can achieve long-term hair-free periods. Some hair may regrow and require maintenance treatments.
Discomfort varies; cooling and topical numbing can minimize pain. Many describe it as brief stinging or snapping.
Shave the area 24–48 hours before, avoid waxing/plucking/electrolysis for several weeks, skip tanning, and disclose medications and medical history.
No, you should not do laser hair removal while pregnant or breast feeding.
