Dark, coarse hair
Think long-term reduction

02 · Hair + skin fit
The laser treats pigment. Your plan should treat the whole person.
Hair color drives how well laser responds. Skin tone, recent sun exposure, and pigment history determine how carefully that energy must be delivered.
Often responds best
Dark brown or black, coarse hair
A pigment-rich hair gives the laser a clearer target and usually a more predictable response.
Needs a tailored plan
Melanin-rich skin, low contrast, or a recent tan
Wavelength, settings, cooling, experience, and a patch test matter more. This is not an automatic no.
Another option may work better
Blonde, red, gray, white, or very fine hair
These hairs may not contain enough laser-responsive pigment for reliable reduction.

Waxing removes visible hair without relying on pigment. It is a temporary face or body option, and regrowth timing varies.

Dermaplaning removes soft facial vellus hair and dull surface buildup together. It is a facial add-on, not a treatment for coarse or body hair.

The questions people ask before they commit
What laser do you use for hair removal?
We now use our Fotona laser platform. The provider selects settings around the treatment area, hair, skin, sun exposure, and response rather than using one universal preset.
Why is laser sold as a series?
Hair does not grow on one synchronized schedule. A repeat plan gives us multiple chances to treat hair as it enters the right growth phase. The live course option on this page contains six visits.
Can I book one session first?
Yes. Every area has a single appointment and a six-session option. Choose the area above and both paths appear together.
How long is the appointment?
The five live area appointments are currently scheduled for 30 minutes. The complimentary laser consultation is scheduled for 15 minutes.
What should I do before the visit?
We will confirm the prep for your area when you book. In general, keep the follicle available for laser by avoiding waxing or plucking before the visit, and follow the shaving and sun guidance our team gives you.
Can deeper skin tones get laser hair removal?
Often, yes. Melanin-rich skin contains more pigment that can absorb laser energy, so the technology, settings, cooling, and provider experience matter more. Unsuitable settings can raise the risk of burns and lighter or darker marks. We assess your current skin tone, recent sun exposure, hair, and pigment history first, and may use a small patch test before recommending a series.
Why does laser struggle with blonde, red, gray, or white hair?
Laser needs enough responsive pigment in the hair to create heat at the follicle. Very light, red, gray, and white hair often gives it too little to target reliably. Waxing can remove face or body hair regardless of color, while dermaplaning is a smoothing facial add-on for fine peach fuzz.
What if I am not sure laser fits my hair or skin?
Choose the complimentary laser consultation. We will look at the actual area and give you a useful plan before you commit to a course.
