At Total Skin, we use the Motus AY laser, which is safe for all skin types. Patients with dark, coarse hair and lighter skin may require fewer sessions because of the higher contrast between their hair follicles and surrounding tissue. However, even if you have lighter hair or a darker skin tone, our laser hair reduction treatment is a safe and effective option; we may just recommend more treatment sessions for best results.

To determine if laser hair reduction is the right treatment option for you, we will examine the hair and skin in the treatment areas, review your medical history, and discuss the treatment details with you.

During your appointment, you’ll relax in a comfortable treatment chair and wear protective eyewear while your provider applies the laser energy. We adjust the laser settings according to each patient’s skin and hair type.

Laser hair reduction acts only on hair follicles that are in the active growth phase, so you will require a series of sessions to see the full results. However, after each session, you can still expect to see a reduction of hair in the treatment area.

Care Instructions
Still have questions?
Laser hair reduction targets hair follicles in the active phase of the growth cycle, so we will always recommend a series of treatments to catch all the hair in your treatment area. We often recommend 8 sessions spaced 4 to 10 weeks apart, followed by occasional maintenance sessions as needed.
The number of treatments in a laser hair reduction plan will depend on your skin, hair type, and desired results. During your consultation, your provider will recommend a specific number and discuss treatment details.
The permanence of your laser hair reduction will depend on your hair’s density, growth cycle, and other factors. Most people benefit from an annual maintenance session to keep up their results. Any hair regrowth after laser hair reduction is typically sparser, finer, and lighter in color.
