Medical-grade hair reductionwith customized settings.

Laser hair removal works best when provider expertise, technology, settings, treatment areas, spacing, budget, and sun exposure are matched to the person instead of treated like a one-size-fits-all appointment.

How laser hair removal works

Laser hair removal delivers controlled energy to pigment in the hair follicle to damage future growth. Because hair grows in cycles, treatment is planned as a consistent series so active follicles can be targeted over time.

Why GentleMax Pro Plus matters

GentleMax Pro Plus uses dual 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelengths with Dynamic Cooling Device technology, giving your provider flexibility across skin tones, hair types, and treatment areas.

How it compares with gel-based diode visits

Many diode appointments use gel and smaller treatment coverage. GentleMax Pro Plus is selected for fast coverage, larger spot sizes, cryogen cooling, and efficient treatment of both small areas and larger areas like legs, back, and chest.

How it fits into a plan

Laser hair removal is often chosen for convenience, smoother treated areas, fewer ingrown hairs, and fewer cycles of shaving or waxing only to have the hair grow back again.

Treatment Overview

What your laser hair removalplan is built around.

The safest plan starts with your skin tone, hair color, treatment area, sensitivity, sun exposure, budget, and the series cadence you can realistically maintain.

Area and budget planning

Your plan can start with the area that makes the most sense for your goals, budget, schedule, and sun exposure. Some patients start with underarms or bikini before committing to larger areas like legs or back.

Consistency matters

Packages are built around a series because the goal is to repeatedly damage active hair follicles before they recover. Staying consistent every 4 to 6 or 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the area, is key.

Long-term reduction

Many patients work toward significant reduction in hair growth and thickness before shifting into longer-term maintenance. Regrowth is often finer, lighter, and less dense.

Not sure where to start?

Start with a free in-person laser hair consultation before your series.

Meet with a nurse to review treatment areas, candidacy, timing, sun exposure, and comfort. A patch test can help you feel what the treatment is like before committing to a full series.

Frequently Asked Questions

Laser Hair Removal questions, answered clearly.

How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?

Most patients start with a package of six and should expect laser hair removal to be a consistent project for the first year. The exact number depends on the area, density, hormones, and how your hair responds over time.

How long does each appointment take?

Appointment length depends on the area. Small areas can be quick, while legs, back, chest, or multiple zones need more time. Your provider will review timing before treatment.

Is laser hair removal safe for different skin tones?

Laser hair removal can be performed on many skin tones when the correct wavelength and settings are used. GentleMax Pro Plus includes Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths, allowing your provider to select settings around skin tone, hair color, and treatment area.

Are laser hair removal results permanent?

Laser hair removal is best understood as long-term hair reduction. Many patients work toward 80 to 85% reduction in growth and thickness, then move into longer-term maintenance as needed.

Can laser hair removal help with ingrown hairs?

Yes. Laser hair removal can be helpful for patients prone to razor bumps, waxing irritation, or ingrown hairs because it targets hair at the follicle over a planned series.

Why does consistency matter so much?

Hair follicles can recover between visits, and hair grows in cycles. Staying on the recommended 4 to 6 or 6 to 8 week cadence helps your provider target active follicles repeatedly instead of starting and stopping.

Can I start laser hair removal after pregnancy?

Post-pregnancy timing should be reviewed carefully. If you are breastfeeding, we may ask you to wait or provide medical clearance before starting.
