Laser hair removal is a method of removing unwanted hair from areas of the body such as the face, arms, legs, underarms, bikini area, and back. It can also reduce the appearance of ingrown hairs, which can be caused by razor burn or waxing. The results of laser hair removal can be long-lasting, though additional treatments may be necessary.
At Clarity Acne & Aesthetics, we use advanced lasers suited for all skin types, including melanin-rich skin, to ensure safe, effective hair removal without irritation or burns. Over a series of treatments, hair becomes thinner, finer, and grows back more slowly — often not at all.
We make laser hair removal a smooth, professional, and comfortable experience—customized for your skin type, tone, and treatment area. Every session is performed using advanced laser technology, ensuring safe and effective results with minimal discomfort.
Before your treatment begins, you'll meet with Deborah Quinn, DNP, or one of our trained providers to review your goals and assess your skin and hair type. This ensures we choose the ideal laser settings for maximum results with minimal sensitivity.
The treatment area will be cleansed and prepared, and we may apply a cooling gel for added comfort. You’ll also receive protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light.
During laser hair removal treatment, a specialized laser is used to deliver pulses of light energy to the targeted area of the skin. The light energy is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles, which produces heat and destroys the hair follicle. This prevents the hair from growing back in the treated area.
After the treatment, a soothing serum or cooling compress may be applied to calm the skin. You’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions, including how to protect your skin and prepare for the next session.
Laser Hair Removal is ideal for treating:
Laser Hair Removal is effective for almost any part of the body, including:
Laser hair removal is a great option for anyone looking for a longer-term solution to hair removal. Not only does it reduce hair growth, but it is also less painful than other methods such as waxing or electrolysis. With a series of treatments, the results of laser hair removal are typically permanent, making it a great option for anyone looking for a more permanent solution. For patients with PCOS or hormonal hair growth, regular treatments can help manage coarse, excessive hair safely and effectively.
Laser Hair Removal is ideal for both men and women who want to reduce unwanted hair on a long term basis. You may be an excellent candidate if you:
Thanks to our advanced technology, we can safely treat all skin tones, including deep skin tones, and fine or coarse hair types. During your consultation, Dr. Deborah Quinn, DNP, will assess your skin and hair to create a customized laser plan. Clarity has 3 different laser hair removal lasers to fit the needs of each patient.
Laser Hair Removal requires little to no downtime. After treatment, you may experience mild redness or warmth in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically resolve within a few hours.
Post-care recommendations include:
Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Results from laser hair removal build over a series of treatments, as hair grows in cycles. Typically, 6–8 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart are recommended for optimal reduction, though this can vary based on area, hair thickness, and hormonal influences. Most patients see noticeable reduction in hair growth after just a few sessions, with continued improvement. The final result is smooth, hair-free skin with long-lasting results—no more daily shaving or painful waxing.
For the best results, it is important to follow the instructions provided by your laser hair removal specialist. This includes avoiding sun exposure and shave 24 hours in advance. You should avoid using any other hair removal treatments while undergoing laser hair removal, including waxing, shaving, plucking.
