What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal at LL Aesthetics is the process by which unwanted hair is removed by the effects of the Lumenis Lightsheer Diode Laser System. In this process, the laser targets hair follicles, destroying the hair at the root.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal uses focused light energy to target pigment within the hair follicle. The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, which then converts to heat and disables the follicle’s ability to produce future hair growth.
Because the laser targets the follicle beneath the skin rather than the hair above the surface, laser hair removal provides longer-lasting results compared to shaving or waxing. Advanced laser technology allows treatments to be customized based on skin tone, hair color, and treatment area, ensuring effective and safe results when performed by trained professionals.
Areas We Treat with Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal can be safely and effectively performed on many areas of the face and body. Common treatment areas include:
- Upper lip
- Chin and jawline
- Face and neck
- Underarms
- Arms
- Legs
- Bikini and Brazilian areas
- Back
- Chest
- Abdomen
Your provider will help determine which areas are best suited for treatment based on your goals, hair type, and skin characteristics.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is popular with both men and women. It is an effective and efficient way to eliminate unwanted hair. There are several reasons to consider laser hair removal, including:
- There is no more need for painful waxing or tedious shaving.
- This maintenance-free hair removal procedure will leave your skin smooth and with more sensation.
- You can eliminate hair on any part of your body, from your legs to the bikini area.
Laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, and many people achieve long-lasting results. Any hair that happens to grow back will also be thin and pale.
Hair Growth Cycles & Why Multiple Sessions Are Needed
Hair grows in cycles, and laser hair removal is most effective when hair is in the active growth phase, known as the anagen phase. At any given time, only a percentage of hair follicles are actively growing, which is why multiple sessions are necessary.
Laser treatments are scheduled several weeks apart to target new hairs as they enter the active growth phase. Completing a full series of treatments allows for more thorough and consistent hair reduction, leading to smoother skin and longer-lasting results.
Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
If you have unwanted hair anywhere on your body, laser hair removal can help.
Lasers work best on darker hair, so those with blonde or red natural hair color see little to no results.
In the past, people with dark skin could not utilize laser hair removal. Thanks to new technology, though, those with darker-pigmented skin can now undergo treatments!
The best way to know whether you’re a good candidate for laser hair removal is to contact one of our specialists at LL Aesthetics!

Your Laser Hair Removal Procedure
Laser hair removal is an effective, non-invasive way to remove unwanted hair. The procedures are done in our office, and you can return to your daily activities immediately.Â
After the procedure, there may be some redness and swelling, but these symptoms go away within a day or so. You may feel some mild pain at the treatment site, but this, too, will go away after a day or two.
Laser Hair Removal Results & Long-Term Maintenance
Laser hair removal targets the hair follicle beneath the skin, resulting in a gradual, noticeable reduction in hair growth over time. Many patients begin to see early improvement after their first treatment, with an initial decrease in hair density that can be noticeable in the treated area.
Because laser hair removal addresses the follicle rather than the hair at the surface, results are longer-lasting than shaving or waxing. After the first session, patients may experience a reduction in hair growth of approximately 10%, with continued improvement as treatments progress and additional follicles are targeted during their active growth phase.
Over time, treated hair typically grows back finer, lighter, and more slowly. While laser hair removal is often referred to as permanent hair removal, it is best described as long-term hair reduction. Results vary based on individual factors such as hair color, skin type, genetics, and hormonal influences, and some patients may benefit from occasional maintenance treatments to maintain optimal results.Â
FAQs
How Should I Prepare for My Sessions?
Proper preparation for laser hair removal ensures great results and reduces the risk of side effects. Here are some tips to help you get ready:
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight for at least 2 weeks before your appointment. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher if you must be outdoors.
- Refrain from Waxing, Tweezing, or Epilating: Avoid any processes that remove hair from the root for at least four weeks prior.
- Shave the Treatment Area: Shave the area 24-48 hours before your session. Ensure the skin is smooth, with no visible hair above the surface.
- Avoid Skin Irritants: Refrain from using retinoids, glycolic acids, or other exfoliating products on the treatment area for at least a week before your session. Avoid applying creams, lotions, or deodorants on the day of your appointment.
- Inform Your Provider About Medications: Certain medications, such as antibiotics or photosensitizing drugs, can make your skin more sensitive to light.
How Many Appointments Do I Need for Optimal Results?
Most clients need 6 to 8 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Some factors that affect the number of appointments needed include:
- Hair Type: Coarse, dark hair usually responds more quickly to laser therapy. Fine or light-colored hair may require more sessions.
- Skin Type: Advances in laser technology make the procedure effective for various skin tones. Some skin types may need more appointments to achieve the desired results.
- Treatment Area: Smaller areas (such as the upper lip) often require fewer sessions. Larger areas (such as the legs or back) may require more treatments for thorough coverage.
- Hormonal Factors: Hormonal imbalances or conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can influence hair growth. They may increase the number of appointments needed.
- Consistency: Attending sessions as scheduled ensures the laser aligns with your hair growth cycle for the best results.
Is Laser Hair Removal Safe for Areas With Sensitive Skin?
Laser hair removal is safe for areas with sensitive skin when performed by a qualified professional using the appropriate laser technology. Sensitive areas, such as the face, bikini line, and underarms, are common treatment zones. They respond well to laser hair removal with minimal risk.
Can Laser Hair Removal Treat Ingrown Hairs?
Laser hair removal can address and prevent ingrown hairs. This service targets hair follicles with concentrated light energy, reducing hair growth at the root. It decreases the chance of hairs curling back into the skin, which causes ingrown hairs.
