The laser generates a specific wavelength of light that penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft and follicle. The light energy heats the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin. The absorbed light converts into heat, which damages the hair follicle at its root. This damage inhibits future hair growth.

After completing a full series of sessions, many individuals experience permanent hair reduction, with finer and lighter regrowth.

However, due to factors like hormonal changes, some hair follicles may regenerate over time. Maintenance sessions might be necessary to keep the area mostly hair-free. While results vary, laser hair removal is one of the most effective methods for long-lasting reduction of unwanted hair.

Most people need a minimum of 6 to 12 sessions of laser hair removal, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, for long-term hair reduction. The exact number of sessions can vary based on factors like hair type, the treatment area, and hormonal influences.
Results also vary by skin tone. Individuals with lighter skin and dark hair typically see faster results due to the contrast between hair and skin pigment. Darker skin tones may require more sessions, as specialized lasers, such as our triple wavelength diode laser, are needed to safely target the hair. In both cases, occasional maintenance sessions may be necessary to sustain results over time.

Laser hair removal with a triple wavelength laser that features a cooling tip like the one used at All Things Skin Med Spa is virtually pain free. The cooling tip works by chilling the skin before, during, and after the laser pulse, which helps reduce the heat sensation and protect the skin from burns.
Most people describe the feeling as a mild tingling sensation, and feel the cold more than anything. While pain tolerance varies from person to person, the cooling technology significantly improves comfort, making the treatment much more tolerable than traditional methods.

A triple wavelength laser is considered one of the safest and most versatile options for laser hair removal across all skin types because it combines three different laser wavelengths—755 nm (Alexandrite), 810 nm (Diode), and 1064 nm (Nd:YAG)—into one device. Each wavelength targets different skin depths and hair types, offering more tailored and effective treatments.
By combining these wavelengths, a triple wavelength laser can safely and effectively treat a wide range of skin tones and hair types. This versatility minimizes the risk of side effects while delivering consistent results across different skin types.

Almost all areas of the body can be treated with Laser Hair Removal. With our Full Body Laser Hair Removal option, we can safely and effectively treat everything excluding the inside of the nose and ears, and too close to the eyes.

Professional laser hair removal is generally safe, though mild side effects can occur. Common effects include temporary redness, swelling, and skin irritation, which usually resolve within a few hours to a day. Some people may experience temporary changes in skin pigmentation, particularly those with darker skin tones. Rarely, more serious side effects like blistering or burns can happen if the treatment is not done correctly. Following post-treatment care, such as avoiding sun exposure, can help reduce risks.

Avoid sun exposure, waxing, or plucking the area before treatment. Shave the area to be treated 24 hours prior to your session, and for laser hair removal treatments done on the face, pause the use of active products, such as hydroquinone, retinol, lactic, salicylic, and glycolic acid three days before your appointment.

Prices vary depending on the area being treated and the number of sessions required. It’s common for treatments to range from $100 to $500 per session. Package options, payment, plans, and membership options help to customize payment options for all budgets.

With laser hair removal, you can expect a significant reduction in hair growth after completing a series of treatments. Most people experience a noticeable decrease in the density and thickness of hair in the treated area. Hair that does regrow is often finer and lighter in color. Typically, the results are long-lasting, though some individuals may require occasional maintenance sessions to keep the area largely hair-free. Overall, laser hair removal offers a substantial improvement in hair reduction compared to other methods like shaving or waxing.
