Laser hair removal is one of the treatments BodyLase has been known for since opening in 2002. The experience is designed around a personalized treatment plan, professional laser technology, and a series of appointments that target unwanted hair as it moves through different growth cycles.
What to Expect From the BodyLase Laser Hair Removal Experience
Your laser hair removal journey begins with a consultation. A BodyLase provider reviews your treatment goals, skin tone, hair type, and the areas you want to treat so your sessions can be customized for you.
During treatment, laser energy is directed at pigment in the hair follicle. BodyLase uses the Candela GentleMax Pro system, which combines Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths so providers can safely treat a wide range of skin tones.
How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Will You Need?
Hair grows in cycles, and laser treatment is most effective when a follicle is in its active growth phase. For that reason, laser hair removal is performed as a series rather than a single appointment.
BodyLase commonly recommends a package of six treatments, with appointments generally spaced about four to eight weeks apart depending on the treatment area and your individual hair-growth pattern.
What Does a Laser Hair Removal Appointment Feel Like?
Before treatment, the area is cleansed and you are given protective eyewear. Most clients describe the laser pulses as brief warmth, pinpricks, or mild pinching. Built-in cooling technology helps make the treatment more comfortable.
Appointment length depends on the size of the treatment area. Smaller areas can be treated quickly, while larger areas require more time.
How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal
- Shave the treatment area before your appointment as directed by your provider.
- Avoid waxing, tweezing, or plucking between sessions so the hair follicle remains available for the laser to target.
- Protect the treatment area from tanning and excessive sun exposure.
- Arrive with clean skin and follow any additional instructions provided by your BodyLase team.
Laser Hair Removal Aftercare
Temporary redness, itching, or mild swelling can occur after a session, but laser hair removal generally requires little to no downtime. Your skin may be more sensitive to sunlight, so consistent sun protection is especially important throughout your treatment series.
Your provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions and can answer questions if your skin reacts differently than expected.
Long-Term Results and the BodyLase Guarantee
Most clients see progressive hair reduction throughout their treatment series. Any hair that returns over time is typically finer and lighter than before.
After you complete your initial BodyLase laser hair removal series, future touch-up treatments for that area are offered at 50% off for life under the BodyLase Guarantee.
