The Science Behind Laser Hair Removal
The laser emits concentrated light absorbed by the melanin in hair strands. That energy travels to the follicle, damaging it to prevent regrowth. With consistent treatments, you’ll notice slower and finer regrowth until hair is significantly reduced or gone. For optimal results, we tailor settings based on your skin type.
Expect Smooth, Long-Lasting Results
Laser hair removal for the face delivers visible improvement after just a few treatments. By targeting the hair follicle directly, the laser disrupts growth at its source. Over time, you’ll notice finer, slower regrowth, reduced ingrown hairs, and smoother skin overall. With a series of sessions, results become long-term and maintenance is minimal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is facial hair removal safe for my face?
Yes, our systems are FDA-approved and safe for all skin types when performed by experienced professionals.
Does it hurt?
You may feel mild discomfort—often compared to a rubber band snap—but most clients tolerate it well.
How many treatments do I need?
Most people see optimal results after 6–12 sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
Can I still wear makeup after the procedure?
Yes, but wait at least 24 hours to allow any redness or sensitivity to subside.

It depends on the severity. Mild acne usually isn’t a problem, but active, inflamed breakouts may need to heal first. Your technician will assess your skin and adjust treatment accordingly.
