Experience fuzz-freedom with our intimate, customized laser hair removal treatments.
Our Process
Here's a breakdown of the typical laser hair removal process
Phone Consultation (Optional)
Our certified laser technicians offer complimentary 15-minute consultations to assess your skin type, hair color, and medical history to determine your suitability for laser hair removal.
Pre-Treatment
Before treatment, we advise you to avoid sun exposure, medications, and specific skincare products (see FAQs) to prevent skin sensitivity. Shaving the treatment area is recommended (24hs prior) for optimal laser energy targeting.
Treatment
During the session, protective eyewear is provided, and the treatment areas may be iced before and after the session. The laser equipment is adjusted based on your skin color, hair color, and hair coarseness. Our technicians use a handheld device to deliver controlled pulses of laser light. The laser's heat is absorbed by the melanin, damaging hair follicles and inhibiting future growth. Our state-of-the-art lasers incorporate a cooling feature for added comfort. This means a 15-20% reduction in hair.
Post-treatment Care
After the session, you may experience redness or slight discomfort. Applying Fuzz Clinic’s After Glow Aloe & Arnica Soothing gel and/ or ice packs can alleviate these symptoms. Sunscreen is recommended to protect the treated area.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does laser hair removal work?
During laser hair removal, a specialized laser emits light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This light energy converts to heat, effectively damaging the hair follicles within the skin. These follicles are the tiny tube-shaped sacs responsible for hair production. By targeting and damaging these follicles, laser hair removal inhibits or delays future hair growth, giving you smooth, hair-free skin for longer periods.
How often do I need to have treatment?
Laser hair removal is customized to each individual's needs. Treatments are generally recommended at intervals of 4, 6, or 8 weeks to align with the hair growth cycle. Over time, as hair growth decreases, the intervals between sessions will lengthen. For example, after a year of regular treatments, you might only need maintenance sessions every 3-4 months. Regular sessions ensure optimal results and long-lasting smoothness.
How long does the laser hair removal procedure take?
Laser hair removal is a quick and efficient process. Each laser pulse takes just a fraction of a second and can treat multiple hairs simultaneously. The laser can cover an area approximately the size of a quarter every second. Small areas, like the upper lip, can be treated in about 20 minutes, while larger areas, such as the back or legs, may take up to an hour. You'll be in and out before you know it, ready to enjoy your day with smooth skin!
How can I prepare for my visit?
Preparation is key to achieving the best results from your laser hair removal sessions. Avoid tweezing, plucking, waxing, or electrolysis for 4-6 weeks before your appointment, as these methods temporarily remove the hair roots that the laser targets. Also, avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks before and after treatment to reduce the risk of complications. Steer clear of retinol and retinol derivative products 2 weeks before and after your session. Shaving the treatment area 24-48 hours before your appointment is necessary, except for the face during your first session. This ensures the laser can effectively target the hair follicles.
What can I expect after my laser hair removal procedure?
Post-treatment, the treated area may appear and feel similar to a sunburn for a day or two. Cool compresses and aloe vera can help soothe the skin. If your face was treated, you can wear makeup the next day unless you experience blistering. Side effects like swelling, scarring, and blistering are rare. It's crucial to wear a broad spectrum sunscreen to prevent temporary changes in skin color. Most hair will shed within 5-14 days post-treatment. Tiny white bumps may appear but will disappear within 2-3 days. It's normal for some hair not to shed immediately.
What does it feel like?
Our Candela lasers feature a dynamic cooling system, making the treatment comfortable. The cooling system blasts cool air with each laser pulse, providing a soothing effect. Many clients compare the sensation to a warm rubber band snap, which is less painful than waxing. Your comfort is our priority, and we tailor each treatment plan to ensure the best experience.
How long will it last?
Hair reduction becomes noticeable within a few weeks, but achieving permanent results requires a series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. We recommend a package of at least 6-10 sessions for optimal results. Over time, your hair will become finer and may not grow back in certain areas. Results vary based on individual hormones and genetics, but most clients experience significant long-term hair reduction.
What products are recommended post-laser?
Before your session, avoid chemical peels, facials, and direct sunlight. Post-session, we recommend applying Fuzz Clinic Afterglow Aloe Gel and sunscreen to protect and soothe your skin.
Who should consider laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is an excellent option for anyone seeking to reduce unwanted hair and achieve smooth, long-lasting results. It's particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with stubborn hair, ingrown hairs, or conditions like hirsutism and PCOS. However, laser hair removal is not recommended for everyone. Those who are pregnant, taking certain medications (such as specific acne treatments and antibiotics), have genital herpes (HSV-2) or are prone to cold sores, have keloid scars, or have had skin cancer should avoid this treatment. Always consult with a healthcare provider to determine if laser hair removal is suitable for you.
I’ve had 10 laser sessions. Should I still continue to get treatments?
Yes, even after multiple sessions, maintenance treatments are beneficial. These won't be as frequent but may be needed 3-4 times a year. Remember, laser hair removal is a hair reduction method, not a permanent removal solution. The laser weakens hair follicles and slows growth. Over time, maintenance treatments help keep hair growth minimal.
What laser does your studio use?
We use the Gentle Pro Max Candela laser, equipped with both Yag (1064) and Alex (755) lasers. The Alex (755) laser is ideal for treating Fitzpatrick skin types I-III, which include fair to light brown skin tones. The Yag (1064) laser is effective for Fitzpatrick skin types IV-VI, which include darker skin tones. These lasers are safe and effective for all skin types, ensuring everyone can achieve smooth, hair-free skin.
