Laser Hair Removal
A closer look at laser hair removal.
Laser hair removal uses light absorbed by pigment in the hair to treat the follicle and reduce future growth. Watch our video and explore what to consider when planning treatment at Parsa Wellness.
Your provider will assess your skin tone, hair characteristics, treatment area, and recent sun exposure. This helps guide the choice of settings and a realistic plan for your goals.
Personalized treatment
Laser treatment generally works best on pigmented hair. Lighter or fine hairs may respond differently, so your provider will discuss suitability before treatment.
A course of care
Hair grows in cycles, so a series of appointments is usually recommended. Results vary, and maintenance treatments may be needed over time.
Preparing your skin
Tell your provider about recent tanning, medications, and skin concerns. Follow their instructions on sun protection and hair removal before your appointment.
After treatment
Temporary redness, swelling, or sensitivity can occur. Your provider will explain aftercare, sun protection, and when to arrange your next session.
Treatment Areas
Laser Hair Removal for Face & Body
Explore treatment options for the face and body. Suitability and expected results depend on your hair, skin, treatment area, and goals.
Underarms
Laser hair reduction can reduce visible hair and shaving-related shadow over a series of treatments. Appointment length depends on the treatment plan.
Focus: Quick, focused treatment area
Legs & Arms
Choose lower legs, upper legs, full legs, or arms. Hair growth may become finer or less noticeable over a course of treatments; appointment length varies by area.
Focus: Small areas to full coverage
Face & Lip Line
Common areas include the upper lip, chin, and sideburns. Laser treatment is generally more effective on pigmented, coarse hair than fine facial hair. Fine facial hair can respond unpredictably, including occasionally developing increased growth after treatment. Because facial hair can also be influenced by hormones, we’ll discuss suitability and likely results at consultation.
Focus: For suitable hair and skin types
Beard Line & Neck
A tailored plan can reduce unwanted hair along the beard line or neck. Some people seek treatment to reduce shaving-related bumps; outcomes and maintenance needs vary.
Focus: For unwanted hair and shaving irritation
Back, Chest & Torso
Treatment can be planned for selected areas or broader coverage, depending on your preferences and suitability. Discuss the desired degree of reduction before starting.
Focus: Coverage tailored to your goals

Your Treatment Course
Why do I need multiple laser hair removal sessions?
Hair grows in cycles, and not all hairs are in the same phase at once. A series of appointments gives more hairs a chance to be treated during a responsive phase.
01Key Target Stage
Anagen Phase
Active Growth · Treatment Response Varies
Laser energy targets pigment within the hair and generates heat that can damage structures responsible for hair growth. Because hairs cycle through different growth stages and respond differently to treatment, multiple sessions are typically needed for effective long-term reduction.
02
Catagen Phase
Transitional Regression
Hair growth slows and the follicle changes as the hair prepares to shed. Treatment response can be lower during this transition.
03
Telogen Phase
Dormant Resting Period
The follicle is resting. Later sessions are spaced to treat hairs as they enter a more responsive growth phase.
Candela GentleMax Pro Plus®
Two laser wavelengths, selected to suit the treatment plan.
The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus® combines two advanced laser wavelengths: 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG. This allows our provider to select an appropriate treatment approach for a wide range of skin tones and hair characteristics. Its integrated Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD™) helps protect the skin and improve comfort during treatment.
755nm Alexandrite Laser
755 nm Alexandrite
This wavelength is commonly selected for suitable lighter skin tones with darker hair. Your provider will assess your skin and hair before choosing settings.
1064nm Nd:YAG Laser
1064 nm Nd:YAG
This wavelength may be appropriate for some darker skin tones. Treatment still requires individualized settings and assessment; no wavelength removes all treatment risks.
Patented Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD™)
A brief cryogen spray cools the skin around each laser pulse. The sensation and comfort level vary by person and treatment area.

Before & After Treatment
Before and after your laser hair removal treatment.
Your provider will tailor instructions to your treatment area and review health or skin factors that may affect suitability and recovery.
01
Before Your Appointment
- Shave before your visit: Shave the area 12–24 hours before your appointment, following your provider’s instructions. Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading for about six weeks; confirm timing with your provider.
- Avoid tanning: Do not use sunless tanner, and tell your provider about recent sun exposure or a recent tan. Treatment may need to wait until a tan has faded.
- Come with clean skin: Ensure the treatment area is clean and free from lotions, perfumes, or heavy deodorants.
- Share relevant health information: Tell your provider about medications, skin conditions, a history of scarring, or other factors that may affect treatment.
02
After Your Appointment
- Temporary reactions can occur: Redness, swelling, or discomfort may follow treatment and often settle within a few days.
- Follow your provider’s aftercare plan: You may be asked to avoid hot tubs, saunas, very hot showers, or vigorous exercise for the first 24 hours.
- Protect treated skin: Avoid direct sun and tanning, and use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ on exposed skin as directed by your provider.
- Keep skin comfortable: A cool compress may help. Avoid scrubbing or abrasive cleansers on the treated area for a few days.
- Expect gradual shedding: Treated hairs may gradually shed over the following days or weeks. This is a normal part of the treatment process and should not be confused with immediate regrowth.
- When to contact the clinic: Contact the clinic if you experience blistering, significant pain, worsening redness, or other unexpected skin reactions following treatment.
Common Questions
Frequently asked questions about laser hair removal
These answers provide general information. Your provider can discuss suitability, expected results, treatment timing, and pricing with you during a consultation.
Laser hair removal is best understood as long-term hair reduction, not a guarantee that every hair will be removed permanently. Some regrowth can occur, often finer or lighter, and maintenance may be recommended. Your results depend on the treatment area, hair and skin characteristics, hormones, and individual response.
Many people describe a brief snapping or warm sensation. The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus uses a Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD™) cryogen spray with each pulse. How treatment feels varies by person and treatment area.
The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus offers 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelengths. Its 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength may be suitable for some darker skin tones, but your provider must assess your skin, hair, treatment area, and recent sun exposure before recommending treatment and settings. A recent tan may mean waiting until it fades.
Most people need multiple sessions because hairs respond best during certain growth phases, and not all hairs are in the same phase at once. The number and spacing depend on the treatment area and your response. Your provider can recommend a schedule after assessing your skin and hair.
Follow your provider’s instructions for your treatment area. You may be asked to shave 12–24 hours before your appointment, avoid waxing, plucking, or threading for about six weeks, and arrive with clean skin. Avoid tanning and sunless tanner. Tell your provider about recent sun exposure, medications, skin conditions, or a history of scarring.
Laser hair removal may be less effective on blonde, grey, white, or red hair because these colors have less of the pigment the laser targets. Electrolysis may be an alternative for some people. Your provider can discuss suitable options with you.
Temporary redness, swelling, or discomfort can occur after treatment and usually settles within a few days. Less common but more serious risks include burns, blistering, infection, scarring, and temporary or lasting changes in skin color. Your provider will review your individual risks and aftercare with you.
Pricing depends on your treatment area and whether you choose a single session or package. Use the pricing calculator on this page to compare listed rates, then confirm your treatment plan and clinic location when booking.

Yes. Shaving is generally permitted between laser hair removal appointments. Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading because these methods remove hair from the follicle, which can interfere with laser treatment. Follow your provider’s instructions about when to shave before your next session.
Some patients notice reduced hair growth after their first few treatments, although results vary. Treated hairs typically shed gradually over the following days or weeks. More noticeable and sustained reduction generally develops over a series of sessions, with occasional maintenance treatments recommended depending on individual hair growth.
