What is Laser Hair Removal?
Is an FDA-approved treatment intended to safely remove hair across all skin tones and hair textures. This method uses therapeutic heat across multiple wavelengths to achieve a gentle, effective result over a series of targeted treatments.
The service can be safely used to remove hair from small areas (such as the face or underarms) or larger areas like the legs or bikini area. Every laser removal service is tailored to your skin’s unique needs.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Each session takes between 5–60 minutes, depending on the area, and most clients require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart for best results. Our experts are ready to create a customized laser hair removal plan for your specific needs and preferences.
How many laser hair removal sessions do you need?
Most people need 6 to 8 laser hair removal sessions to see lasting smoothness, and the face often needs 6 to 10. Sessions are spaced about 4 to 8 weeks apart so the laser can target each hair during its active growth phase. Results vary with hair color, skin tone, and hormones.
Because hair grows in cycles, no single visit can treat every follicle at once. Each session reduces a share of the actively growing hairs, which is why a series spaced several weeks apart works better than a few back-to-back appointments. At your complimentary consultation, your provider confirms how many sessions your skin and hair type are likely to need, and many patients add an occasional maintenance touch-up later.
Sessions needed by area
| Area | Typical sessions | Spacing |
|---|---|---|
| Face (upper lip, chin, cheeks) | 6 to 10 | 4 to 6 weeks |
| Underarms | 6 to 8 | 6 to 8 weeks |
| Bikini or Brazilian | 6 to 8 | 6 to 8 weeks |
| Legs and arms | 6 to 8 | 6 to 8 weeks |
| Back or chest | 8 or more | 6 to 8 weeks |

Treatment Process
During the laser hair removal session, the laser will target individual hair follicles with pain-free precision. Sessions are fast, typically only lasting 5 to 60 minutes depending on the area of treatment—making this type of laser hair removal technology among the fastest, safest, and most comfortable available.
Post-Treatment Care
As with other laser hair removal treatments, some redness or sensitivity in the treated area is normal—but it fades quickly. We recommend that you avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and irritating products for a few days after your hair removal treatment session to optimize your healing process and results. We also recommend that you keep the area moisturized and protected with a high-SPF sun protectant to maintain smooth, healthy skin after the treatment is complete.
Results
Many see results after their first laser hair removal session, and continue to notice a reduction in hair in the treatment area after just a few sessions. Most clients reach optimal results after 8 to 10 treatments.

Yes, laser hair removal is very effective in addressing unwanted hair growth. Unlike other lasers that may only use one wavelength, the Candela Gentle Pro uses multiple wavelengths to maximize efficacy, making it the ideal choice for all skin tones and hair types.
Clients will notice an immediate improvement in hair growth and presence after the first laser hair removal treatment. However, most clients require 8-10 sessions to maximize their results. Our expert team members will speak with you before your appointment to confirm your personalized treatment plan and session cadence and ensure that you have everything you need for a positive experience.
Most people need 6 to 8 sessions for the body and 6 to 10 for the face to reach lasting smoothness. The exact number depends on the treatment area, hair color and thickness, skin tone, and hormones. Your provider confirms your plan at a consultation.
Sessions are usually spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart. Facial areas are often treated every 4 to 6 weeks, while larger body areas are spaced closer to 6 to 8 weeks, timed to each area’s hair growth cycle.
Alexandrite lasers are the strongest laser for hair removal, as they have a very high attraction to melanin, or coloring, in the hair shaft. At Esthetica Medspas, we use Candela® Gentle Pro, which uses alexandrite lasers in the treatment regimens to ensure that they are as effective as possible for the range of hair types, textures, and colors that exist.
The number of sessions needed for successful laser hair removal depends on an individual’s hair type, texture, color, and lifestyle. However, six sessions of Candela® laser hair removal should be enough for many, as clients usually see a noticeable lasting difference after the second session.
Many patients enjoy long-lasting hair reduction once their series is complete, though results vary and some hair can return over time. Occasional maintenance sessions help keep the area smooth. Laser hair removal reduces hair; it does not guarantee permanent removal.
Laser systems can be used to tighten skin. This effect is made possible by the laser stimulation and therapeutic heat used in each session, which prompts collagen formation and cellular regeneration.
