How We Safely Remove Unwanted Hair
Using the Candela GentleLASE® and GentleYAG® systems, each laser hair removal treatment targets pigment in the hair follicle with precise pulses of light, gently disabling future growth while protecting the surrounding skin. A built-in cooling system keeps you comfortable throughout the process, even in sensitive areas like the bikini line or upper lip.
Sessions typically last 15 to 60 minutes, and a series of sessions provides the best long-term reduction for soft, silky skin that lasts.
Areas Laser Hair Removal Can Treat:
Laser hair removal can safely target almost any area where unwanted hair appears, including:
- Face (upper lip, chin, and sideburns)
- Underarms
- Arms and legs
- Bikini line and Brazilian area
- Chest, back, and shoulders
Your provider will tailor your treatment to match your specific goals and comfort level.

What to Expect During Laser Hair Removal
Before Treatment
Before your laser hair removal session, your provider will review your goals and assess your skin and hair type to determine the most effective settings. Shaving the treatment area the day before your appointment is usually recommended to help the laser focus directly on the root of the hair.
During Treatment
During the procedure, a handheld laser device delivers short bursts of light energy that target and disable active hair follicles. You may feel a mild snapping or warming sensation on the skin, but most patients find the treatment quick and comfortable.
After Treatment
Mild redness or swelling may occur right after your session, but usually fades within a few hours. Your provider may recommend avoiding direct sun exposure, heat, or harsh skincare products for a day or two while the skin calms.
Over the next several weeks, treated hairs will gradually shed, revealing smoother, softer skin with noticeably reduced regrowth.
Laser Hair Removal FAQs
To get the best results, it’s important to come to your appointment with skin that’s calm and natural. Avoid tanning, self-tanners, or spray tans for at least two weeks before treatment, since pigment in the skin can interfere with the laser’s ability to target hair follicles.
You’ll also want to skip waxing, tweezing, or using hair removal creams, because these remove the root that the laser needs to find. Shaving is fine, and even recommended, the day before your session.
You’ll likely notice changes after your first session, but the most visible reduction happens gradually over the course of your treatment plan. Each session targets hairs in their active growth phase, so several visits are needed to reach all follicles.
Most patients start to see smoother skin and lighter regrowth after two to three sessions, with full results showing once the series is complete.
Yes, laser hair removal not only reduces hair growth but also improves skin texture and helps prevent ingrown hairs. Because the laser targets the follicle at the root, it stops new hairs from curling back into the skin, a common cause of bumps and irritation.
Over time, you’ll likely notice your skin feels smoother and more even.
After your session, keeping the treated area clean, cool, and protected will help your skin recover quickly. Avoid direct sun exposure for a few days, and skip hot showers, saunas, or workouts for at least 24 hours to minimize irritation.
Using gentle skincare and applying sunscreen daily can also help maintain healthy, smooth skin between sessions.
Laser hair removal pricing is based on the size of the treatment area, the number of sessions in your plan, and your unique skin and hair characteristics. During your consultation, we’ll review your goals and share a personalized treatment plan with transparent, upfront pricing.
