Tired of shaving, waxing, or chasing ingrown hairs? You’re not alone. Laser hair removal is one of the most effective, long-term solutions for unwanted hair—and it’s a favorite among Luxe Practitioner clients. If you’re thinking about starting your laser journey, here’s everything you need to know before your first session.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal uses a concentrated beam of light to target and destroy the hair follicle at its root. The pigment in the hair absorbs the light, which damages the follicle enough to slow or permanently stop future growth.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
At The Luxe Practitioner, we treat both small and large areas for all skin types:
-
Face (upper lip, chin, sideburns)
-
Underarms
-
Bikini & Brazilian
-
Legs & arms
-
Chest & back
-
Stomach line & toes
We tailor each session to your skin tone, hair texture, and unique goals.
What Happens During My First Session?
Here’s what to expect:
-
Consultation – We’ll assess your skin, hair, and medical history to ensure you’re a good candidate.
-
Prep – You’ll need to shave the area 24 hours beforehand. Avoid waxing or tweezing.
-
Treatment – A handheld laser device will deliver pulses of energy to the target area. You may feel a warm snapping sensation—most clients say it’s tolerable, especially with our built-in cooling feature.
-
Post-care – You might experience redness or swelling similar to a mild sunburn. This usually resolves within 24–48 hours.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Laser hair removal works best during the active growth phase of your hair cycle. That’s why it typically takes 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results. After your series, maintenance sessions may be recommended once or twice a year.
Is It Safe for All Skin Tones?
Yes! We use FDA-cleared laser technology that’s safe and effective for all skin tones—including deeper complexions. Our providers adjust wavelength settings for maximum safety and results.
