What is Laser Hair Removal?
You’ve likely heard of laser hair removal—and perhaps you’re even interested in it. But what exactly is it? Laser hair removal gets rid of unwanted body hair. Most people require six sessions, and they often need to do yearly maintenance treatments to catch stragglers. Our treatment is provided by our caring nursing staff.
Laser hair removal provides excellent treatment for those unhappy with shaving, waxing, or tweezing. It also benefits those who suffer from folliculitis. Shaving often causes raised pimple-like spots with folliculitis, but laser hair removal works best for this condition.
How Does Laser Hair Removal work?
Shaving and waxing can be irritating and short-lived, but laser hair removal offers a safe and comfortable alternative. Unlike traditional methods, laser hair removal targets large areas of unwanted hair at once, using heat from a laser to minimize hair follicles and inhibit future growth. It is effective on various hair colors and skin tones, particularly on dark hair and lighter skin, as the laser targets pigment.
At Profile MD, we customize each treatment to ensure safety for all skin types. Our approach provides a long-term solution, reducing hair growth permanently.
Optimal results typically require 6 to 10 sessions, spaced 6 weeks apart, to target hair during its active growth phase.
Here are a few guidelines for treatment:
- Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading 2 weeks before treatment (shaving is fine).
- No suntanning before treatments.
- No downtime is needed after the treatment.
- Expect a permanent reduction in hair growth.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is one of the most effective and non-invasive treatments available for removing unwanted body hair. Known for its minimal downtime and long-lasting results, it targets hair follicles to deliver permanent hair reduction.
Whether you’re looking to treat a small area like the upper lip or a larger area like the legs or back, laser hair removal can help achieve smooth, hair-free skin with minimal effort.
Here are some key benefits:
- Long-lasting Results: Laser hair removal works by focusing concentrated laser energy on the hair follicles, ensuring permanent hair reduction and preventing future hair regrowth in treated areas.
- Precision Targeting: Unlike methods such as shaving or waxing, laser treatment targets dark, coarse hairs without affecting the surrounding skin. This precision ensures effective and efficient results.
- Reduced Ingrown Hairs and Irritation: Traditional hair removal techniques can often cause ingrown hairs, irritation, or bumps. Laser hair removal helps reduce these risks, leaving the skin smooth and free from irritation.
- Versatility for Multiple Areas: Laser hair removal can be used on various areas of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line, making it a versatile solution for individuals with different hair removal needs.

Ideal Candidates for Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal can help anyone achieve smooth, hair-free skin by targeting hair follicles on various skin tones and hair colors.
However, since the laser specifically targets pigmentation, it is most effective for individuals with fair skin and dark hair. This combination allows the laser to effectively focus on and treat the hair follicles while avoiding the surrounding skin.
For those with blonde, gray, or very light hair, laser hair removal may be less effective, as these hair colors lack sufficient pigment to absorb the laser light.
At Profile MD, we understand that every patient is unique, which is why we offer different laser types and treatment options that can be adjusted to better suit your specific skin type and hair color for optimal results.
Our Laser Hair Removal Process
At Profile MD, we take every step to ensure your comfort while delivering the best possible results. Our laser hair removal process is designed to be simple yet effective, allowing you to quickly return to your daily routine.
Our expert care team is dedicated to providing a caring, supportive, and comprehensive laser hair removal experience. We’re here to understand your needs and help you achieve the desired outcomes you’re looking for.
Here’s a look at our process for smoother, hair-free skin:
Step 1: Consultation – Your journey begins with a consultation with one of our board-certified doctors, Dr. VanAntwerp or Dr. Mallalieu. They will discuss your needs in detail and, using their expertise, create a customized treatment plan to ensure the best results.
Step 2: Preparation – Before your first treatment, we advise avoiding direct sunlight, tanning beds, or any UV exposure. Also, refrain from plucking, tweezing, or waxing the treatment areas. Upon arrival, our expert team will prepare the area by trimming the hair and applying a cooling gel for added comfort.
Step 3: Treatment – During the treatment, we will use a laser machine to deliver safe, controlled pulses of light to each hair follicle. This process is quick, taking only seconds per hair.
Step 4: Aftercare – After the treatment, we will apply a soothing cream to alleviate any discomfort in the treated area and provide you with ice packs. The treated area may mimic the feeling of a sunburn for several days following. However, you’re free to return to your normal activities as soon as you leave our medical spa.
Step 5: Ongoing Maintenance – To achieve optimal, long-lasting results, we may recommend follow-up sessions based on your unique needs.
What are common areas for treatment?
Laser hair removal can be performed on most areas of the body, but the most common areas are:
- Face and Neck
- Underarms
- Bikini Area or Full Brazilian
- Back and Chest
- Legs
Results and Expectations
One of the most common questions clients ask when considering laser hair removal is, “Does it hurt?”
The answer is no. The aftereffects are similar to the sensation of a mild sunburn—some discomfort may occur but is easily tolerated and resolves quickly.
After treatment, patients typically experience some redness and swelling for a few hours. Our team at Profile MD prepares you with a cooling gel during the treatment and provides ice packs to take home. Simply apply the gel or ice packs to the affected area to alleviate any discomfort.
For optimal healing, we recommend wearing a high-SPF sunscreen to protect your skin after treatment and avoiding hot showers, cosmetics, and perfumes on the treated area for a few days.
Results Timeline
While laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction, results are not immediate. It usually takes 6 to 10 sessions to see full results, as each treatment is aligned with your hair growth cycle.
- Laser hair removal offers permanent hair reduction, not complete hair removal.
- New hair follicles may develop over time due to hormonal changes or shifts in weight.
- As a result, maintenance sessions may be needed once a year after the initial treatment to maintain long-term results.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal harnesses the power of laser light to safely and effectively STOP unwanted hair growth. During this procedure, our providers use laser energy to disable hair follicle growth. This results in visible hair reduction!
What type of laser is best for me?
Profile MD uses the latest technology to ensure safe and lasting results. The specific laser used will depend on your skin tone as well as the thickness and color of the hair being treated. The GentleMax Pro Laser is a great option for all skin tones. It consists of a 755nm Alexandrite wavelength and a 1064 ND:YAG laser. This gives our providers the perfect combination to give you an excellent result!
Is Laser Hair Removal painful?
Your comfort is very important. The GentleMax Pro has built in cooling to help minimize discomfort. We also prescribe a specially compounded lidocaine cream to apply one hour prior to treatment.
How many treatments will it take to see results?
The laser works by disabling hair follicles that are actively producing hair at the time of treatment. Since the hair follicles are producing hair at different times, we recommend a package of six treatments for best results. Treatments should be spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Are the results permanent?
In some instances, touch up treatments can be needed years after your initial treatment. This may be due to hormone changes throughout life. Typically, laser hair removal results are long lasting.
How much does Laser Hair Removal cost?
The cost for laser hair removal depends on the area being treated. For example, a hairy back would be more expensive than treating armpits. For your convenience, we offer free consultations. Package pricing is available at discounted rates. Call us at (410) 544-4600 to set up your free consultation.
