Actual Review: Laser Hair Removal

'I just finished my laser hair removal treatments for the "brazilian" area. I am very pleased with my results! I did 6 sessions and have a few more left to retouch 1 area. The staff was very professional and do a great job reminding you of your appointments. I am very pleased with my treatments and am looking forward to a summer without shaving or waxing before trips and the beach. My skin is smooth and it doesn't take 5 minutes at each visit, I'm a fan!" - H.J.

Laser Hair Removal: Actual Patient Review

"I received a gift card for laser hair removal by my husband for Christmas. I promptly called and made an appointment due to my extreme excitement!! The office is super trendy and glamorous, and very close to the house. Once I scheduled I was so nervous due to the horror stories that I had heard about the pain/discomfort of the treatment. As soon I arrived at my first appointment the staff made me very comfortable and eased any concerns that I had. They started the treatment slowly to make sure I was at comfortable. I have only had 2 treatments but I am already seeing great results and can't wait to finish the treatment." - T.G.

How To Prepare For Laser hair Removal Treatment

First of all, you must decide on the area of interest for the procedure. Laser removal can be done in a variety of places such as the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, and a few other areas. Certain facilities will only touch certain areas for this procedure.

As with any medical procedure, it’s important to read up about the clinic and the physicians. Online reviews, forums, discussion boards, etc., it is all perfect for research. Once you’ve decided on a clinic and physician, research financing information. This procedure can be a bit on the pricey side, so it’s important to see if they offer any financing options. See if your insurance can possibly contribute to your cosmetic procedure. If you can afford it, go for it. After all of that, it’s time to prep for the procedure.

Taking care of the skin is the most important thing. Six weeks prior to treatment, avoid plucking, waxing, shaving, or any hair removal to the area the procedure will be performed. During this time, avoiding sun exposure would be beneficial. Exposure can lessen the effectiveness of the procedure and possibly complicate it.

Can Laser Hair Removal prevent ingrown hair?

When a person shaves or waxes their hair, the broken off or short embedded hair that remains can get trapped inside the hair follicle and grow sideways or can grow back into the skin. This ingrown hair may or may not be accompanied by an infection of the hair follicle or razor bumps and can be painful.

Ingrown hair most commonly appears on the face, legs, and bikini line, but can appear anywhere. Sometimes ingrown hair occurs naturally without shaving, as blocked pores, too much dead skin, or tight clothing prevent hair from emerging from the follicle.

Laser hair removal can eliminate ingrown hair, leaving your skin smooth and hair-free for longer and even indefinite periods of time. During laser hair removal, the laser beam targets the hair follicles deep beneath the skin, disabling the root and stops any regrowth from that follicle. Since the entire hair follicle is destroyed, you do not have to worry about ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal can be performed on almost any part of the body and will make hair lighter, finer, and prevent ingrown hairs.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Lasers are optical devices which produce intense beams of light.  Lasers designed for permanent hair reduction emit wavelengths of light designed to be absorbed by the pigment in the hair (melanin). If the surrounding skin is relatively light compared to the color of the hair, then the entire energy of the laser will be concentrated on the hair shaft, effectively destroying it without affecting the skin or follicle.


Hair removal lasers target the dark pigment in the hair. That’s why laser hair removal works best on light skin (so the laser passes right through) and dark coarse hair (has most pigment).  At Chic Esthetiq Med Spa & Laser, we are able to treat all skin tones; however, people with light skin and dark hair will typically see the BEST result.



The ability of the laser to produce a very narrow bandwidth on a consistent basis is the key to a safe efficient treatment. While the laser emits a beam that only heats the hair shaft, heat is transmitted from the hair shaft to the surrounding tissue for several milliseconds after the laser pulse. Several lasers possess cooling attachments which cool the surrounding skin to fully absorb any heat transmitted from the destroyed hair shafts.

Can I grow NEW HAIR after Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal lasers have been in use since 1997 and the Food and Drug Administration approved them for “permanent reduction.” They disable hair permanently as long as the right type of hair is treated with an appropriate type of laser at effective settings.

However, it is called a “reduction” because, no matter what some clinics may claim, hair removal lasers cannot and do not remove 100% of the hair in an area. With proper treatments, laser can remove the majority of the coarse hair on a body area, but they cannot always remove finer hair. Be cautious of clinics making claims that seem too good to be true.


Generally, a patient can tell how much reduction was achieved from a course of treatments after waiting 6-12 months from their last treatment. Any hair that grows in after the 12-month period is new hair that the body can develop due to numerous factors such as age, diet, hormonal changes, and medical conditions such as PCOS. Patients who experience new growth later in life can get touchup treatments.

Some experts believe a small percentage of people are non-responders to laser hair removal treatments. This has not been confirmed or proven, and reasons are not known. At the same time, it's difficult to judge whether a patient’s lack of results is, in fact, due to being a non-responder. Lack of results could be due to an undetected underlying medical condition or improperly performed treatments.

In essence, it’s difficult to predict results. Results depend on many variables, including type of laser used, how settings are set, underlying causes of the hair growth, the technician’s experience, etc. That is why it’s a good idea to start treatment at a reputable medical spa such as Chic Esthetiq Med Spa & Laser Center, where the focus is on superior technology, advanced laser systems, and only certified and licensed staff performing treatments.

Is laser hair removal REALLY permanent?

Yes! The hair that is killed during a laser hair removal session is dead and will never grow back. New technology (like the laser hair removal system used at Chic Esthetiq Med Spa) is capable of giving over 80-90% or better permanent reduction for ALL skin types, male and female, for almost every part of the body.

However don't forget that you have a lot more hair on your body than you probably imagine (hair grows in cycles so you actually never get to see all your hair at any given time) and it takes multiple sessions to kill 80-90% of this total hair. Another thing to keep in mind is that your body, as long as you are well and alive, will produce new hair. 

If laser hair removal is permanent, why do I need touch-ups?

None of us had hair as babies or children but our bodies grew and shed hair over our lifetimes. This process will continue despite laser hair removal and the growth of new hair is actually why you need clean up sessions once or twice a year.
