Hair removal
Every area priced, from $50 for a lip to $750 for full body. Eight sessions is the standard course because hair grows in cycles and one treatment only catches the follicles that happen to be active.
$50$42.50per session
8 sessions for $340
New clients save 15% on your first treatment.
Every area is priced individually rather than bundled, and the 8-session package is 15% off eight single sessions in the same area. Six to eight sessions is what a full result takes, so the package is the honest way to buy it. Multiple areas booked together are quoted at consultation.

Laser hair removal · Underarms
In short
Laser hair removal uses light absorbed by the pigment in the hair shaft, which converts to heat and damages the follicle so it stops producing hair. It only works on follicles in their active growth phase, and at any moment only a portion of your hair is in that phase, which is why a course of six to eight sessions spaced weeks apart is needed rather than a single treatment.
Laser hair removal pricing is usually deliberately vague, because quoting per area invites comparison. Here is the whole list. A lip is $50 and takes fifteen minutes. Underarms are $100. A Brazilian is $150. Full legs are $250 and full body is $750. Eight sessions of any of those is 15% less than eight single visits. What you should not do is buy one session and judge it: hair grows in cycles, a single treatment only affects the follicles that happen to be growing that week, and anyone selling you a one-off is selling you a disappointment.

How it works
Why it takes a course rather than an appointment.
The laser emits light at a wavelength absorbed by melanin, the pigment in the hair shaft. The surrounding skin absorbs far less, which is what makes the treatment selective.
That absorbed light converts to heat, travels down the shaft and damages the follicle at the root so it stops producing hair. Cooling protects the skin surface throughout.
It only works on follicles in the active growth phase, and only a proportion of your hair is in that phase at any time. That is the entire reason for six to eight sessions spaced weeks apart: each one catches a different set of follicles.
Which product
Against everything else people use.
Starts working: Sheds over 1 to 3 weeks. Lasts: Permanent reduction. Reduces hair permanently rather than removing it temporarily, over a course of six to eight. From $50 a session. Works best where there is good contrast between hair and skin, and modern devices handle a much wider range of skin tones than older ones did.
Starts working: Immediate. Lasts: 3 to 6 weeks. Cheaper per visit and endless. Over a few years the cost exceeds a laser course comfortably, and you have to grow the hair out before every appointment.
Starts working: Immediate. Lasts: 1 to 3 days. Free and permanent as a commitment. Notably, you can and should shave between laser sessions, which is not true of waxing.
Starts working: Immediate per follicle. Lasts: Permanent. The only method that is permanent removal rather than permanent reduction, and it works on white and grey hair that laser cannot target. Far slower, treated follicle by follicle, and impractical for large areas.
Good to know
Including the honest limits.
Damaged follicles do not regrow. Expect a large reduction in density and in what does grow back being finer.
For many people this matters more than the hair itself, particularly on the bikini line and on men's necks.
Twenty-seven areas from lip to full body, so you are not buying a bundle to treat one thing.
Unlike waxing, you can shave throughout the course. You must not wax or pluck, because the follicle has to be there to target.
Advanced cooling runs alongside the laser, which is the difference between tolerable and not.
The laser targets pigment. No pigment, no target. Electrolysis is the option there, and we will tell you rather than sell you a course that cannot work.
Modern devices handle a wide range of skin tones, but settings must be matched to yours. That assessment happens before any treatment.
Aftercare
No downtime, and one stage that surprises people.
Mild redness and slight bumpiness around the follicles, like light razor burn. Settles within hours.
The area feels normal. Avoid heat, saunas and heavy exercise for 24 hours.
Treated hairs shed. It looks like regrowth and it is not: the hair is being pushed out. Do not pluck it, let it fall.
Shave as much as you like. Do not wax, pluck or thread, because the follicle needs to be present to be treated.
Avoid sun and self-tan before and after. Tanned skin absorbs more light and changes the safe settings.
Next session, timed to catch the next set of follicles entering growth.
Most patients need an occasional maintenance session, particularly on hormonally driven areas like the face.

Frequently asked
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy that is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in your hair. This light converts to heat, which damages the hair follicle and inhibits future hair growth. The surrounding skin remains unharmed thanks to advanced cooling technology. Over multiple sessions, treated follicles become progressively weaker, resulting in permanent hair reduction.
Most clients need 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. This is because hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective on hair in the active growth phase (anagen). Multiple sessions ensure all hair follicles are treated during their growth cycle. Some clients may need additional touch-up sessions depending on hair type, hormones, and treatment area.
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap or rubber band flick against the skin. Our advanced laser systems include integrated cooling technology that keeps you comfortable throughout the treatment. Sensitive areas like the bikini line may feel slightly more intense, but the discomfort is brief and very manageable. Many clients find it far less painful than waxing.
Laser hair removal can treat virtually any area of the body where unwanted hair grows. Popular treatment areas include underarms, bikini/Brazilian, legs, arms, back, chest, face (upper lip, chin, sideburns), and neck. We can also treat larger areas like the full body. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your specific goals and create a customized treatment plan.
Yes! Our advanced laser technology is safe and effective for all skin types and tones, including darker skin. We use different wavelengths and settings customized to your specific skin tone and hair color. The ideal candidate has dark hair (which contains more melanin to absorb the laser), but we can treat a wide range of hair colors. Very light blonde, gray, red, or white hair may be more challenging as these contain less pigment.
For best results, shave the treatment area 24-48 hours before your appointment—this allows the laser to target the hair follicle rather than surface hair. Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 2-4 weeks before treatment. Stop waxing, plucking, or using depilatory creams at least 2 weeks prior, as these remove the hair root that the laser targets. Avoid retinoids and exfoliating acids on the treatment area for a few days before.
Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction, meaning the treated hair follicles will not regrow. Most clients experience 80-90% permanent hair reduction after completing their treatment series. Some fine or light hairs may persist, and hormonal changes can occasionally stimulate new hair growth. Periodic maintenance sessions (once or twice a year) can address any new growth and maintain your smooth results long-term.
Immediately after treatment, you may experience mild redness and slight swelling around hair follicles—this is normal and typically subsides within a few hours. Over the next 1-3 weeks, treated hairs will gradually shed. Avoid sun exposure and apply SPF to treated areas. Skip hot showers, saunas, and intense exercise for 24-48 hours. Most clients return to normal activities immediately after their appointment. Individual results may vary. Laser hair removal results depend on hair color, skin type, and treatment compliance. Most clients achieve 80-90% permanent hair reduction after completing a full treatment series. Consult with our medical professionals to determine if laser hair removal is right for you.
