How many sessions do I need?

Most patients need 4–6 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart; coarse or dense areas may need up to 8. Expect 80–90% permanent reduction after your series.

Most patients describe a quick snapping sensation — far less uncomfortable than waxing. Numbing cream is available for sensitive areas.

Can I shave between sessions?

Yes — shaving is fine and recommended. Don't wax, thread, or pluck.

Is it safe for darker skin tones?

Yes. We calibrate the Palomar system to your skin tone at every visit. Darker complexions may need an extra session or two for the same result.

Pricing depends on the area — small areas like the upper lip start lower than full legs or back. Reveal your QR discount on our homepage, then call for exact pricing on your area.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Laser hair removal directs concentrated pulses of light into the hair follicle. The pigment in the follicle absorbs the energy, which disables the follicle and prevents future growth — without damaging the surrounding skin. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to catch every follicle in its active growth phase. Most patients achieve 80–90% permanent hair reduction after completing their treatment series.

Our Palomar system uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology that treats areas quickly and comfortably — most patients describe the sensation as a light rubber-band snap, far gentler than waxing.

Before & After Your Session

Before

Shave the area 24 hours prior (don't wax or pluck for 4 weeks — the follicle must be intact). Avoid sun exposure and self-tanner for 2–4 weeks before treatment. Arrive with clean, product-free skin.

After

Mild redness or a sunburn-like feeling is normal for a few hours. Apply a cool compress or aloe if needed. Avoid hot showers, saunas, and workouts for 24–48 hours, and wear SPF 30+ on treated areas for two weeks. Treated hairs shed naturally over 1–3 weeks.
