This is perennially one of the most popular medspa treatments across the United States. Laser hair removal can be done with a plethora of devices, some more effective than others. We use the highly effective InMode Diolaze for high speed laser hair removal. It's large treatment head and cooling mechanism makes the treatment quick and comfortable. We can even treat large areas like the backs and legs in a matter of minutes!
Some general principles apply:
- Laser hair removal works best on dark hair with lighter skin
- Laser hair removal doesn’t work on white, gray, or blonde hair, since the laser focuses on destroying the pigment in the hair follicle.
- Be very careful if you have darker skin. Darker skin has a higher risk of pigment issues with any type of laser or heat-based treatment.
- Laser hair removal always necessitates multiple treatments, spaced weeks to months apart, for optimal results. Our hair enters different growth phases which means that not all the hair follicles are susceptible to the laser at one time.
