Summer is just around the corner, and it’s time to start preparing for days filled with sunshine, pool parties, and beach vacations. One essential aspect of summer preparation is dealing with unwanted body hair. Traditional methods like shaving, waxing, and plucking can be time-consuming and uncomfortable. Fortunately, laser hair removal is a game-changer that can give you smooth, hair-free skin all summer long. In this post, we’ll guide you through everything you need to know about laser hair removal, from how it works to what you can expect during and after the treatment.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive, long-lasting solution for removing unwanted hair. It uses intense pulsed light to target and destroy hair follicles at their root, preventing future hair growth. Unlike traditional lasers, Velocity wavelengths of light are exclusively dedicated to Laser Hair, allowing it to effectively treat a broader range of hair colors and skin types.
How does Laser Hair Removal work?
During a treatment, the device emits rapid pulses of light that penetrate the skin and target the melanin in the hair follicle. The light energy is absorbed by the melanin, which heats up and damages the hair follicle. This damage inhibits the hair’s ability to grow, ultimately leading to a reduction in hair growth over time.
What to Expect During Laser Hair Removal?
1. Consultation: Before your first treatment, you’ll have a FREE consultation with our trained technician to assess your skin and hair type, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan.
2. Pre-Treatment Preparation: You’ll need to avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least two weeks before your session. Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment.
3. During the Treatment: You’ll be provided with protective eyewear, and a cooling gel will be applied to the treatment area. The technician will then move the device over the skin, emitting pulses of light. You may feel a mild stinging sensation, similar to a rubber band snapping against your skin.
4. Post-Treatment Care: After the treatment, you may experience temporary redness or swelling. Avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen diligently for at least two weeks after each session. You’ll also need to avoid waxing or plucking the treated area.

Laser hair removal typically requires FDA approved minimum of 6 sessions 4 to 6 weeks apart, for the best results. The exact number of sessions will depend on your individual hair growth cycle, skin type, and hair color. Most people see a significant reduction in hair growth after 6 sessions.
