These treatments heat up the pigment in the hair with laser energy to damage the follicles without harming the surrounding skin. The hair falls out of the treated follicles within around 2 weeks. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are necessary to treat each area effectively.

Laser hair removal is an outpatient procedure that is well tolerated. Typically patients do not require local anesthetic or pain medication and experience only mild discomfort.
What Should I Not Do Before Laser Hair Removal?
For optimal safety and results, be sure to follow these recommendations:
Do not pluck or wax the hairs you want to get rid of for at least 2 weeks before your treatment. There needs to be hair in the follicles for the laser to heat up.
Do not drink alcohol 24 hours before your treatment.
Do not have laser hair removal if you have used a sunless tanner or have a natural sun tan.
Laser Hair Removal Recovery
Treated areas often look pink and feel warm like a mild sunburn after laser hair removal. There may also be mild swelling around the treated follicles. These side effects typically go away within 24 hours. While there is no downtime needed, you should avoid exposure to excessive heat and postpone strenuous exercise until the following day. Wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 whenever you are outside.
How Many Laser Hair Removal Treatments Do I Need?
Patients typically need 5 to 6 treatments to address all hairs in the targeted area when they are in the growth phase. Treatments should be spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart.
