BENEFITS OF LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Laser hair removal offers more than just smooth skin—it gives you back your time. Say goodbye to last-minute shaving, painful waxing appointments, and dealing with razor burn or ingrown hairs. With each session, you’ll notice a big reduction in hair growth, and over time, the hair that does come back will be finer, softer, and easier to manage. Whether you’re getting ready for a vacation or just want to simplify your routine, laser hair removal helps you move through your day confidently and with an effortlessly polished look.
Our treatments are quick, precise, and performed using advanced laser technology known for being comfortable and effective. You’ll enjoy long-term hair reduction without compromising your skin’s health or radiance—so you can focus less on maintenance and more on living your best, beautiful life.
WHAT IS THE LASER HAIR REMOVAL PROCEDURE LIKE?
Laser hair removal patients should expect 6–8 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart to achieve optimal hair reduction. This is because the hair follicles in the treatment area are in different stages of their growth cycle.
HERE IS WHAT TO EXPECT:
- Consultation – Your certified laser hair removal specialist assesses your skin and hair type to determine whether laser hair removal can provide the results you desire. Then, they develop a treatment plan tailored to give you the best results.
- Preparation—Wear SPF 30+ sunscreen and avoid tanning or sun exposure for 4 to 6 weeks before and after treatment. You’ll also need to refrain from waxing or tweezing for 2 to 4 weeks before your treatment because laser hair removal requires the hairs to be in the shafts and follicles. You can still shave in the meantime.
- Treatment – During the procedure, the laser device is gently passed over the skin to deliver pulses of laser energy to the hair follicles. Most patients describe the sensation of the laser pulses as a light snap or warm prickling. The laser handpiece that is placed on your skin includes built-in cooling technology, making treatments comfortable even in sensitive areas.
- Depending on the area treated, your session may take anywhere from 15 minutes (like the upper lip) to 60 minutes (like full legs or back).
WHAT DOES IN-MOTION TECHNOLOGY DO?
In-motion is a technology for laser hair removal that involves the sweeping motion of a handpiece across the skin, gradually heating the hair follicles to damage them without causing pain. It combines the laser with a cooling system to maintain skin comfort and prevent burns, making it effective for various skin types and times of year.
HOW IT WORKS:
- In-Motion technology: The applicator is moved in a constant, sweeping motion across the treatment area, ensuring full and even coverage.
- Gradual heating: It uses a high repetition rate of low-fluence pulses to gradually heat the hair follicles to a therapeutic temperature, which damages them while keeping the surrounding skin cool.
- Cooling system: The applicator includes a sophisticated cooling system that cools the skin’s surface during the process, making the treatment virtually painless.
- Multiple wavelengths: The Soprano ICE Platinum model can simultaneously deliver multiple laser wavelengths to target different tissue depths and hair types more effectively.
BENEFITS:
- Virtually painless: The combination of gradual heating and cooling minimizes discomfort, leading to a massage-like sensation instead of pain.
- Treats all skin tones: It is safe and effective for all skin types, including tanned or dark skin, and can be used year-round.
- Darker Skin Tones too!: The in-motion technique allows for safe treatment of darker skin tones
- No downtime: You can return to your normal activities immediately after the treatment.
WHICH AREAS OF THE BODY CAN LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREAT?
Laser hair removal is a versatile option for nearly any area of the body where unwanted hair grows.
Treatments are completely customizable, whether you’re removing hair from a single area or multiple regions during one session.
IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL RIGHT FOR YOU?
Laser hair removal works best for darker hair and light to medium-dark skin tones, as the laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle. It is not recommended for gray or blonde hair due to the lack of pigment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT LASER HAIR REMOVAL
How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?
Most patients need 6–8 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results. The exact number depends on your hair density, growth cycle, and the area being treated.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
While no treatment guarantees 100% permanent removal, laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction. Many patients experience permanent results in some areas, with occasional touch-ups.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Most people describe the sensation as mild, like a warm snap or gradual heating (depending on method used). Our laser has a built-in cooling feature that makes the treatment more comfortable, even in sensitive areas.
Is laser hair removal safer for all skin types?
Our system can treat a range of skin types, but results and settings may vary. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin tone and hair type to ensure the safest approach.
What should I avoid before treatment?
Avoid sun exposure, self-tanner, and any tanning beds for at least 2 weeks before your appointment. Also avoid waxing, plucking, or chemical hair removal.
Can I get laser hair removal while pregnant?
To be safe, we do not perform laser hair removal on pregnant clients. We recommend waiting until after pregnancy and breastfeeding to begin your treatments.
Can I shave in between sessions?
Yes, shaving is encouraged between sessions to keep the area smooth. Just be sure to avoid waxing, plucking/tweezing, or threading, since these will remove the follicle/root of the hair, which in turn interferes with the laser’s ability to target the follicle/root.
When is the best time to start treatment?
Fall and winter are typically the most suitable seasons, as most individuals spend less time in the sun. However, treatments can be performed year-round, provided that the treated area is kept covered and protected from sunlight.
