Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a clinically-safe, proven, and effective manner of permanent hair removal for men and women. This advanced technological treatment utilizes gentle pulsing laser light heat to target and destroy unwanted hair follicles—virtually anywhere on the body.

Pulsing wavelengths eliminate unwanted hair from the face, neck, chest, back, underarms, bikini area, thighs, legs, and more. Our lasers work by targeting individual follicles of hair by the melanin (color) contained within, preventing continued growth. For this reason, laser hair removal tends to work best on light skin with dark hair follicles—although new advances in laser hair removal technology have helped patients with other hair and skin types see great results, too.

One day before your first session it is best to shave the area to be treated, to ensure the area is clean. It is important to shave prior to each laser hair removal treatment, so that there is less hair above the skin to burn—and less risk of your skin getting burned. When the hair to be lasered off is shorter, the laser hair removal can eliminate the hair while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. Your laser technician will not be able to go over areas with hair that’s above the skin. It is also important to stay out of the sun, as any tanning can result in pigmentation in the areas you laser. We recommend wearing loose, light clothing that won’t irritate the treated area.

With repeated visits and regular touch-up appointments, your laser hair removal treatments can yield permanent results. If you’re tired of shaving, waxing, and stressing over the unwanted hair on your legs, bikini area, underarms, face, chest, back, or neck, then get rid of it permanently, with laser hair removal in Virginia Beach and Norfolk.

As a result of the staggered nature of the hair growth cycle, several appointments are necessary to capture each cycle of hair growth at different stages. Laser hair removal often requires multiple treatments to eliminate each hair as it enters the “active” growth phase. The number of laser hair removal treatments varies for each person, the area(s) to be treated, and the thickness of the hair. For example, permanently removing leg hair will take longer than it will on the underarms. A typical treatment requires between 30 minutes to 1 hour. We typically recommend 4-6 treatments, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Possible touch-up appointments may be necessary afterwords, for best results and permanent hair removal on legs, underarms, bikini areas, and more.

As opposed to plucking and waxing, laser hair removal treats larger areas effectively because it removes more than one hair at a time. This treatment saves both time and money in the long term, because the results are far superior to waxing, and over time the cost is much less. Laser Hair Removal in Virginia Beach is a noninvasive and efficient way to drastically reduce hair growth with minimal downtime. This treatment has the ability to eliminate ingrown hairs, ultimately leaving your skin looking smoother and silkier.

Laser hair removal is largely painless. Most patients report experiencing a minor pinching sensation, or a light tingling. Although some patients experience a slight, manageable discomfort, the reported feeling of a “rubber band snapping” is followed by a cooling sensation. The feeling is mild and passes quickly. The majority of our Virginia Beach & Downtown Norfolk laser hair removal patients do not consider it a reason to stop the treatment.

The price of laser hair removal varies per treatment area, spa location, and laser technology. Call the Virginia Beach Spa & Laser Center or the Downtown Spa & Laser Center to learn more about the pricing for the areas you’d like to be permanently hair-free.
