Summer is here. All of our treatments are absolutely amazing but there's one that will change your life especially.
Laser hair removal.
Can you imagine not having to worry about unwanted body hair ever again? We got you!
Laser hair removal is a noninvasive cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of light (lasers) to target and destroy hair follicles, reducing or eliminating hair growth over time.
✨ How It Works:
The laser emits light that’s absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair.
This light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicle.
Damaged follicles can’t grow new hair—or grow it much more slowly and sparsely.

✅ Common Treatment Areas:
Face and neck (upper lip, chin, sideburns)
Underarms
Legs
Bikini line or brazilian
Back, chest, and lower back
💡 Key Benefits:
Long-term hair reduction (after a series of treatments)
Precision targeting without damaging surrounding skin
Speed – small areas like the upper lip take minutes; larger areas like legs take under an hour
Fewer ingrown hairs compared to waxing or shaving
Works on ALL hair and skin colors
⚠️ Things to Know:
Most people need around 10 sessions, spaced 4–8 weeks apart.
Temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort is common post-treatment.
Sun exposure should be avoided 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after sessions.
This schedule aligns with your hair’s natural growth cycle. Laser hair removal is most effective during the anagen (active growth) phase, but not all hairs are in that phase at the same time. That’s why multiple sessions are needed—to catch each follicle when it’s most vulnerable to the laser’s energy.
🗓️ Why the spacing matters:
Face & underarms: Usually every 4–6 weeks
Legs, back, bikini: Every 6–8 weeks
Hormonal areas (like chin or jawline): May need more frequent or additional sessions
🔄 Maintenance treatments
After your initial series, you may need 1–2 touch-ups per year to maintain results, especially if hormones or genetics cause regrowth.
🎯 Why this plan works:
Targets hair in its most responsive stage
Reduces regrowth with each session
Allows skin to recover between treatments
Minimizes risk of side effects
What does it feel like?
With your machine’s built-in cooling mechanism, laser hair removal can feel surprisingly comfortable and virtually painless—a game-changer for clients who may be nervous about discomfort.
