Laser Hair Removal diminishes and removes unwanted hair by using a handheld device that emits a concentrated beam of light which selectively targets the pigment inside hair follicles. The pigment in the hair follicles absorbs the light energy, which is converted into heat. This damages the follicles, inhibiting future hair growth. You can expect to see the amount of hair growth in the treated area decrease by 60-90%. Since the laser targets pigment, blonde, white, grey or red hair may not respond to treatment; therefore, hair must be dark. We use a variety of different wavelengths to treat all skin types safely.
The Cutera system’s unique, patented contact cooling hand piece provides continuous cooling, maximizing patient comfort. Known for its precision, it targets coarse, dark hairs without damaging the surrounding skin. Results become apparent after the first few treatments, with more permanent results typically observed after several sessions. In general, 6-8 treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart are needed for optimal results. Maintenance sessions might be needed over time to maintain the results.

Good candidates are those looking for a long-term solution to reduce unwanted hair. This technology is effective across various types of skin and hair colors, although it works best on those with contrasting hair and skin colors.
While laser hair removal is safe and effective for most people, some individuals may not be ideal candidates due to hair color, medical conditions, or lifestyle factors. Medical clearance may be required for certain conditions. Please consult with your healthcare provider if you are unsure. Precautions to consider:
Treated hairs can take up to 7-14 days to exfoliate from the follicle and may appear to be “growing” during this time, however it is not new growth. Once the hair has fully shed, you may be hair free for a few days or weeks leading up to your next treatment. Permanent results require several treatments spaced out over several weeks to capture all hair growth phases.
After completing the full treatment series (usually 6-8 sessions), most people experience an 80-90% reduction in hair growth. Results can last for months to years, depending on individual factors like hormones, genetics, and hair type. Some areas may remain hair-free indefinitely, while others may require occasional maintenance sessions (once or twice a year) to stay smooth.
There is minimal downtime; most can resume daily activities immediately. After your treatment, there may be some slight redness, swelling around the hair follicles, and mild discomfort similar to a sunburn. These usually resolve within a few hours, however, cold compresses may be used to provide comfort during this time, as well as Vitamin E or Aloe Vera.
Patients will wear protective eyewear during treatment. A hand-held laser device is used and adjusted according to the target hair’s color, thickness, and location. Most patients tolerate the procedure well and describe the sensation similar to that of a rubber band snapping against the skin or small bursts of heat. Most sessions last minutes to an hour, depending on the area treated.
