What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a non-surgical, FDA-approved treatment that permanently reduces or eliminates unwanted hair by using concentrated light beams that transform into heat. This heat targets and destroys hair follicles, effectively reducing hair growth over time. Because the laser specifically targets the pigment in the hair rather than the surrounding skin, the treatment minimizes potential skin damage.

While hair removal does not guarantee 100% permanent removal, it significantly reduces the thickness and growth of hair in treated areas. Multiple sessions are required to achieve the best results, as hair grows in cycles and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Long-Lasting Results: Unlike shaving or waxing, which provide only temporary relief, laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth over time.
Precision: The laser precisely targets hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin.
Efficiency: Sessions are quick, with some lasting as little as 15 minutes.
Smoother Skin: No more razor bumps, ingrown hairs, or irritation from waxing or shaving.
Brighter Skin: Prevention of ingrown hairs reduces scarring and hyperpigmentation.
Cost-Effective: Over time, laser hair removal proves to be more economical than continuous waxing, razors, or depilatory creams.

At Essentia Women’s Health & Aesthetics, we sometimes recommend pairing laser hair reduction with Morpheus8 Body to enhance results. This combination can effectively treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) in the underarms and groin while reducing unwanted hair.

What to Expect During Treatment

At Essentia Women’s Health & Wellness, we prioritize safety, comfort, and effective results. Here’s what you can expect during and after each procedure.

Before Your Appointment
  • Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least two weeks before treatment.
  • Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your session (but do not wax or pluck, as this removes the hair follicle needed for laser targeting).
  • Avoid using skincare products that contain retinoids, acids, or exfoliants a few days prior.
During the Procedure

The treatment typically lasts 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. A cooling device or numbing cream may be used to enhance comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild warmth or a rubber band snap on the skin.

Aftercare and Recovery
  • Redness and mild swelling are common and usually subside within a few hours.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure for at least two weeks post-treatment and use SPF 30+ daily.
  • Exfoliate the treated area gently after a few days to help shed treated hairs.
  • Refrain from waxing, plucking, or threading between treatments.

How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?

The cost at Essentia Women’s Health & Aesthetics varies based on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions required. On average, the price of a package of 6-8 sessions costs $300-1,000 depending on the body part being treated. During your consultation, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most sessions take between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Allow additional time for numbing cream application if needed.

Patients typically describe treatment as a mild stinging sensation, similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. We apply a topical numbing cream beforehand to enhance comfort.

  • Redness, swelling, or slight discomfort, which typically subsides within a few hours.
  • Temporary darkening or lightening of the skin (rare and more common in darker skin tones).

Rare side effects include blistering or scarring, though these are uncommon when performed by trained professionals.

You will likely notice a 30-50% reduction in hair growth after just a few sessions. Optimal results are typically achieved after 6-10 treatments.

Yes! it can be safely combined with other aesthetic treatments, including chemical peels, microneedling, fillers, and injectables. Additionally, pairing laser hair removal with Morpheus8 Body can enhance results by not only reducing hair but also tightening the skin and addressing hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) in the underarms and groin. Our specialists can help create a customized treatment plan tailored to your skincare goals.

Laser hair removal has traditionally been most effective for individuals with light skin and dark hair, as the contrast helps the laser precisely target the pigment in hair follicles. However, at Essentia Women’s Health & Aesthetics, we use the latest, state-of-the-art laser technology designed to safely and effectively treat all skin tones. Our advanced system combines three laser wavelengths—Nd:YAG, Alexandrite, and Diode—into a single device, allowing for highly customizable treatments tailored to your skin type, hair color, and hair thickness. Plus, the built-in cooling system enhances comfort throughout the process. A personalized consultation will help determine the best approach for your unique needs.
