Laser Hair Removal
Our technicians use top of the line 1064nm YAG laser, the safest and most effective lasers for removing unwanted hair on every skin tone. The laser emits a light designed to be absorbed by the melanin in the unwanted hairs and converts it into heat. This damages the hair follicles enough to halt or extremely delay future hair growth. During the actual session, you’ll likely experience a stinging sensation but no heat. While laser hair removal isn’t permanent, the results are thorough and long lasting. You’ll find that if any hairs grow back, they’ll be few and far between. We recommend an average of 6 to 8 treatments to achieve permanent hair reduction. Laser hair removal, however, doesn’t work on red, white, grey, or blonde hair.

- Laser hair Removal is a solution to permanently get rid of unwanted hair for any part of the body. The laser targets the hair follicle, permanently destroying it so that the hair never grows back. That means no more shaving or waxing and most importantly - no more hair!

- Long Lasting Hair Removal Traditional hair-removal methods can be uncomfortable and time-consuming. At Urban Medspa & Weight Loss Center, we use the FDA-approved Candela Gentle Yag laser and the Cutera Coolglide laser, an effective tool to remove unwanted hair from all skin tones.
- Laser hair removal is a process. Following a series of six to eight treatment sessions, many patients experience permanent hair reduction. During each session, the laser targets your hair and heats the follicles so that they die and do not continue to grow hair. Darker hair reacts better to the treatment since the laser targets hair by pigment. This treatment is ineffective on white gray or blond hair.
- What Areas Can Laser Hair Removal Treat? Our top of the line and FDA approved 1064nm YAG lasers are the safest and most effective lasers for removing unwanted hair on all skin tones. NOTE: An Average of 6-8 treatments are recommended to achieve permanent hair reduction. This treatment does not work on white, grey or blonde hair. When a package of 7 treatments is purchased, all treatments/touchups after the 7th treatment are 50% off.
- Areas treated in a single service or package of seven sessions include:
- Razor Bump Laser Treatments
- Medically referred to as Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (PFB), razor bumps often feel and look like pimples, but they are caused by ingrown hairs.
- When you shave, the tip of the remaining hair has a sharp point. As the hair continues to grow, particularly curly hair, the sharp tip can curve back and pierce the skin. The body reacts to this condition just like it would to a common splinter, by creating an inflamed, pimple-like bump.
- Fortunately, laser hair removal treatments can dramatically improve or completely eliminate these stubborn, unwanted razor bumps. During your consultation, you can discuss your options and treatment expectations with your laser technician.
- What to Expect
- At your initial consultation, a skilled laser technician will examine the area you would like to treat and evaluate your candidacy for the procedure. We will discuss your concerns and expectations, based on the color and thickness of your hair. Once you and your aesthetician have decided to proceed with treatment, you will be given detailed instructions on how to prepare for your session.
- The procedure itself is relatively comfortable. Each pulse feels similar to a snap from a hot rubber band. There is no physical downtime following laser hair removal, but it is not uncommon to experience temporary, mild redness and possible swelling. After your session, you will be provided with standard post-treatment instructions, such as avoiding direct sunlight, saunas or other activities that could irritate the treatment area for a period of time.
