How Laser Hair Removal Works

The Basic Process

Laser hair removal works like this: A special light beam targets the dark pigment (color) in your hair. When the light hits the hair, it turns into heat that damages the hair follicle—the little pocket in your skin where hair grows. This damage prevents the follicle from growing new hair.

Precision and Safety

What makes laser hair removal so effective is its precision. The lasers used at Front Door Medspa®—like the Clarity II and Excel® V HR Yag—are calibrated to target hair follicles while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. This selective targeting minimizes discomfort and ensures safety, making it a preferred choice for clients seeking smooth skin.

Why You Need Multiple Treatments

Here’s something many people don’t realize: your hair grows in cycles. At any given time, some of your hair is actively growing, some is in a transition phase, and some is resting.

The laser only works on hair that’s in the active growing phase. That’s why you need several treatments (usually 6 to 8) spaced about a month apart—to catch all the hair as it cycles through these different growth stages.

Laser Hair Removal Treatment Options

Clarity II: Precision and Comfort Combined

The Clarity II laser system is a powerhouse in hair removal. Designed to target hair, veins, and pigmentation, it’s particularly effective for lighter skin tones. What sets it apart? 

• Dual Wavelengths: Clarity II uses two wavelengths to adapt to different hair and skin types, ensuring optimal energy absorption.
• Cryogen Cooling: Each laser pulse is paired with a cooling spray, reducing discomfort and making treatments more tolerable than older systems.
• Faster Sessions: The roller device allows for quicker application, meaning shorter sessions without sacrificing results.

Excel® V HR Yag: Versatility for All Skin Tones

The Excel® V HR Yag laser complements Clarity II by excelling with darker skin types. Its advanced Nd:YAG wavelength penetrates deeper, safely targeting follicles while minimizing risks like burns or hyperpigmentation—common concerns for diverse skin tones.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Experience the following benefits of laser hair removal:

• Long-Lasting Smoothness: Unlike shaving (which lasts a day) or waxing (a few weeks), laser hair removal offers months—or even years—of smooth skin. After a series of sessions, many clients see a dramatic reduction in hair growth.
• Precision Targeting: The lasers hone in on individual follicles, leaving your skin intact. This makes it ideal for small, sensitive areas like the upper lip or bikini line.
• Fewer Ingrown Hairs: Ingrown hairs are a common annoyance with shaving and waxing. Laser hair removal eliminates this issue by preventing hair from growing back irregularly.
• Minimal Downtime: No need to cancel plans—most sessions at Front Door Medspa® take 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the area, and you can resume your day immediately.
• Customizable Comfort: With cooling technology and optional numbing creams, we ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.
