What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal uses a diode laser to target the pigment in hair follicles, damaging the follicle's ability to produce new hair over a series of treatments timed to your hair's natural growth cycle.
Because hair grows in cycles and the laser only affects follicles in an active growth phase at the time of treatment, a single session won't get every hair — expect 6-8 sessions spaced about a month apart to clear a full area.
After that initial series, results typically hold with just an occasional touch-up once or twice a year.
Good Candidates
- •Patients wanting a long-term reduction in hair regrowth for areas like underarms, legs, bikini line, or back
- •Anyone comfortable committing to a 6-8 session series rather than a single treatment
- •Patients with hair color and skin tone combinations suited to diode laser — assessed at your first visit
Not a Good Candidate
- •Patients who are pregnant
- •Anyone with very light or gray hair, which diode lasers have difficulty targeting
- •Patients wanting permanent, 100% hair removal — this treatment significantly reduces hair, it doesn't guarantee it never returns

Your Appointment Timeline
Skin and hair assessment
Dana reviews your skin tone and hair color to confirm candidacy and set expectations for how many sessions you'll likely need.
Shaving
The treatment area is shaved immediately before treatment (not waxed) so the laser targets the follicle, not surface hair.
Laser pass
The device is passed over the treatment area; it typically feels like a warm, quick snap against the skin.
Cooling
A cooling gel or air-cooling tip is used throughout to reduce discomfort.
Series scheduling
Sessions are spaced about a month apart to catch hair in different growth-cycle stages; most areas need 6-8 sessions total.
Treatment Pricing
Larger areas cost more per session; a 6-8 session package offers per-session savings over paying individually.
