Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal offers you a better solution to removing unwanted body hair when compared to waxing, plucking or shaving. Laser hair removal is only effective on dark hair.

Areas Treated by Laser Hair Removal

We can remove hair from all areas of the body, except for under the eyebrows. The advanced technology reduces pain while increasing efficacy, enabling fast and comfortable treatments. The most common areas we treat for women are underarms, bikini line and areas on the face, while the most common areas of treatment for men is the back.

What to Expect at a Laser Hair Removal Treatment

At FORME, we start with a consultation to discuss your desired outcome and areas of hair removal. Most patients can be treated the same day if they are a candidate, and they have not tweezed, waxed or used a depilatory in the last four weeks. The hair must be in the follicle for the laser to see it.

Laser hair removal appointments range from 15 minutes for a smaller area like upper lip or chin, to 30-45 minutes for legs or back.

How Many Laser Hair Removal Treatment Sessions Will I Need?

Laser hair removal takes multiple treatments because not all hairs are in the same stage at the same time. The hair must be in the active and growing or resting stage for the papilla to be damaged.

The number of sessions needed for permanent hair removal depends on the area and type of hair. The total number of sessions can range from six to 12 with most patients falling somewhere in the middle.

Treatments are spaced out to occur about every five to six weeks. It's important to get treatments on a regular schedule to achieve the best long-term results. You may need more sessions if your treatment schedule fluctuates.

Recovery Time After Laser Hair Removal

There is no downtime following laser hair removal treatment. The area being treated is heated during treatment, but cooled prior to the end of your appointment.

Laser hair removal side effects are most often minor, with the most common being redness and swelling around the hair follicle for some patients.

Depending on the area treated, our team does not suggest working out the same day. In addition, sun exposure on the area treated should be limited for two weeks.
