Remove unwanted hair using light energy
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses concentrated light to eliminate unwanted hair. During the treatment, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This light energy converts to heat, damaging the hair follicles and inhibiting future growth. Laser hair removal is effective on various body areas, including the bikini, legs, arms, chest, back, shoulders, stomach, neck, chin, and sideburns. It offers a long-term solution to hair reduction, with results typically visible after four to six sessions.

What happens during laser hair removal?
During laser hair removal in Pensacola, FL, you will first have a consultation with our provider to assess your skin and hair type. On the day of treatment, we will cleanse the targeted area and apply a topical anesthetic. As the laser is passed over your skin, you will feel a mild sensation, similar to a rubber band snapping. Our advanced DiolazeXL device uses a cooling surface to ensure your comfort. The session typically lasts 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Side effects and recovery process
After laser hair removal, you may experience mild redness and swelling, similar to a sunburn, which usually subsides within a few hours. Applying a soothing aloe vera gel can help. You should avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen on treated areas. Most side effects are temporary, and you can resume normal activities immediately. Our provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and minimize any discomfort.
How many sessions do I need for smooth skin?
For optimal results and smooth skin, you will typically need four to six laser hair removal sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. The exact number depends on factors like your hair color, hair type, skin tone, and the treatment area. Our provider will create a personalized treatment plan to help you reach your desired level of smoothness.
Why are multiple sessions needed?
Multiple treatments are needed for effective laser hair removal because hair grows in cycles. At any given time, only a portion of your hair is in the active growth phase, which is when the laser can effectively target and destroy the hair follicles. The other phases—resting and shedding—do not respond as well to the treatment. By spacing out sessions over several weeks, we ensure that all hair follicles are treated during their active phase, leading to optimal hair reduction and smooth, long-lasting results.
