Thinking about Laser Hair Removal but not sure what the process is like? You’re not alone. One of the most common questions clients ask us is:
“How do I prepare, and does it hurt?”
Here’s everything you need to know.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser energy targets hair follicles, disabling their ability to grow hair. Over several sessions, hair becomes finer, lighter, and eventually stops growing.
How to Prepare for Your First Session
Before coming in, make sure you:
✔ Shave the area 24 hours before
✔ Avoid waxing or plucking for at least 4 weeks
✔ Avoid sun exposure 2 weeks before and after
✔ Skip deodorant/cream on the day of treatment
Does It Hurt?
Most clients describe it as a quick warm snap — similar to a rubber band. The discomfort is minimal, and modern devices have cooling technology to protect your skin.
How Many Sessions Will You Need?
Typically 6–8 sessions, depending on:
- Hair thickness
- Skin type
- Treatment area
Areas like underarms and bikini usually see faster results.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
✔ Permanent hair reduction
✔ Softer, smoother skin
✔ No more shaving bumps
✔ Saves time and money
✔ Safe for most skin types
Aftercare Tips
- Avoid heat (sauna, hot shower) for 24 hours
- Avoid active skincare on the treated area
- Use SPF on exposed areas
