How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal is an effective way to get rid of the pesky, unwanted hair that grows in different parts of your face and body. It works by sending a specific wavelength of a laser beam to the treatment area. This targets the melanin that gives the skin its dark color, resulting in thermal injury that destroys the hair follicle or delays the growth of the hair shaft.
Since the treatment only targets the pigment of the dark hair, laser hair removal won’t affect the surrounding skin of the treatment area. This also makes the treatment more effective for patients with dark hair and light skin. Patients with dark skin tone or light hair color may still try this treatment, but it’s best to consult with a doctor first to find out if they have the appropriate laser devices for your skin type or hair type.
Are You a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal Treatment?
Although laser hair removal treatments are safer and more convenient than shaving and waxing to get rid of unwanted body hair, it may not be the best nonsurgical procedure for everyone. Laser hair removal treatments work best for patients who:
- Have dark hair and a light skin color
- Understand well how the treatment works
- Are willing to undergo multiple treatments over a few weeks to achieve the best results
- Have no active infection in the treatment area
- Aren’t taking any medications that might affect the treatment or their recovery
Why You Should Choose Laser Hair Removal
There are many reasons to choose laser treatments when it comes to removing unwanted body hair. Here are some of the best reasons why you should choose laser therapy over other hair removal treatments:
- Precise Hair Removal. Lasers allow precise treatments of unwanted hair on the skin without damaging the surrounding tissue. The laser energy is only absorbed by the pigment of your dark, coarse hair so they’re the only parts affected by the treatment.
- Quick Treatment Sessions. Each pulse of the laser beam treats multiple hairs at once. It can eliminate unwanted hair in a treatment area about the size of a quarter per second, making the entire laser hair removal session much quicker than other techniques.
- Works for Almost Any Body Part. Waxing, plucking, and shaving some parts of the body can be painful or even dangerous. But laser hair removal is safe and effective for almost anywhere in the body, including bikini lines, sideburns, shoulders, chin, upper lip, back, neck, arms, legs, and more.
- No Bumps, Stubbles, or Ingrown Hairs. Laser treatments directly target the hair root to remove the pesky body hair. This minimizes the risk of having stubbles, ingrown hairs, and bumps that usually show after shaving or plucking unwanted hair.

Your Laser Hair Removal Experience at Ethos Spa
Getting laser hair removal is a quick and easy procedure that only takes less than an hour to complete. Here’s what you can expect during your laser hair removal appointment at Ethos Spa:
Before
Like most treatments at Ethos Spa, our laser hair removal treatments also start with a consultation. During this time, we examine your skin and check your medical history to find out if you’re qualified for the treatment. Once you’re good to go, we schedule your treatment session and provide you with a list of instructions to prepare for it.
We usually ask our patients to stay out of the sun, avoid other hair removal treatments, and avoid blood-thinning medications for weeks before their appointment. It’s also important to trim some of the hair in the treatment area to make the procedure smoother. Don’t hesitate to ask us anything you need to know about laser hair removal.
During
Before the treatment session, we apply a numbing cream to the treatment area to protect your skin and minimize discomfort during the treatment. The laser device is then activated to pass through your skin, heat the hair bulb, and inhibit hair growth in the area.
After
The entire treatment session usually takes less than an hour, but it may be longer for a patient who wants to treat larger areas. There might be some redness and swelling, but they usually subside after a few hours or days. Call us immediately if these symptoms persist or worsen.
Taking Care of Your Skin After Laser Hair Removal
Your skin becomes sensitive after a laser hair removal treatment, so it’s important to pay extra attention when taking care of it. This ensures that you’re getting the best results while ensuring that no complications or side effects might occur.
- Avoid direct sun exposure on the treated areas. Make sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen when going out.
- Stay away from hot environments like tanning beds, steam rooms, and saunas.
- Wear loose and comfortable clothing that won’t irritate the treated skin.
- Apply an ice pack or cold compress to the treated area to soothe pain or swelling.
- Avoid strenuous exercises or intense physical activities within the first 48 to 72 hours.
At Ethos Aesthetics + Wellness, we’re committed to providing you with the best cosmetic treatments that are guaranteed to be safe and effective for your skincare needs. Book a session now with us and start your journey towards seeing your best skin yet.
Myths About Laser Hair Removal, Debunked
Laser hair removal is extremely painful.
There might be some pain or discomfort during the treatment, but it’s definitely less painful than waxing treatments. Most of our patients described the sensation as something similar to the flick of a rubber band against the skin. You can always ask our doctors about using topical anesthetic during your laser hair removal consultation.
Laser hair removal causes future hair growth in the treated area.
No, a laser can’t cause more hair to grow in the treated areas. However, patients need to remember that our body goes through a lot of changes as we age – this includes new hair growth in places where there wasn’t before. The laser destroys hair follicles, but new ones might still develop in your body.
Laser hair removal can scar your skin.
The risk of scarring is slim with laser hair removal, as long as you have an experienced technician like our providers at Ethos Spa. We have already performed this kind of treatment for hundreds of patients before, so you can trust us to proceed with extra care and caution.

FAQs About Laser Hair Removal
Q: Is laser hair removal a permanent hair reduction treatment?
A: Although it takes a long time for some of the treated hair follicles to grow hair, this procedure doesn’t guarantee permanent hair removal. Instead, the hair shafts only grow lighter and finer so they’re easier to remove on your next treatment.
Q: How many treatment sessions do I need?
A: This depends on the type of hair you have and the size of the treatment area. Removing facial hair takes fewer treatment sessions than eliminating hairs in the back or chest. Most patients need about 4 to 6 treatments, but you still need to consult with an expert to know how many sessions are required for you.
Q: Does laser hair removal work for laser skin resurfacing and laser tattoo removal?
A: Although laser therapy has lots of different applications, the laser devices used for these treatments are quite different. The patient needs to consult a dermatologist first to find out which type of laser therapy is the best for them.
Q: What’s the difference between IPL and laser therapy for hair removal?
A: Technically, intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments aren’t a type of laser treatment. Some providers might offer IPL for hair removal, but laser treatments are far more precise and effective.
