Laser Hair Removal

The appearance of our facial and body hair is almost as unique as our fingerprints, with a vast variety of textures, colors, and patterns of growth. However, many of us have places we’d prefer not to have hair, and the task of removing it and keeping it away can be time-consuming and expensive. At JK MedSpa, we offer advanced laser hair removal technology that can eliminate your unwelcome hair.

Getting your laser hair removal from the right provider is key to having a positive experience. Our experts use the advanced Diolaze XL and ProWave LX, lasers that treat more hair and skin colors safely while using cooling technology to keep you comfortable.

Learn More About Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal works because hair roots contain a pigment called melanin that gives them color. These hair roots grow from follicles, structures within the skin that contain melanin-producing cells. The Diolaze XL and ProWave LX lasers use a wavelength that targets the melanin in these hair roots, causing the roots to heat up. This heat damages the surrounding follicle, shutting down hair production. The treated hair will be shed and will not grow back.

Because of the way this treatment works, you should take a few prep steps to ensure your best results.

  • Avoid hair removal using waxing, threading, or other methods that remove the root. 
  • Stop bleaching your hair to allow a pigmented root to grow in. 
  • Use sunscreen, avoid excessive sun exposure, and do not use artificial tanners.

You can still shave as often as needed, and we recommend shaving within a day before your session to ensure there isn’t much hair above the skin.

Because our technology uses the largest cooling surface available on a laser hair removal system, treatment is nearly pain-free. Most people report feeling nothing more than a tingle or mild snapping sensation. The length of your session depends on the size of the area being treated.

To achieve your best laser hair removal results, you will need a series of treatments. After the first session, you will notice a reduction in hair growth, and the hair that grows will be softer and finer. These results continue to improve after each session, with less hair regrowth each time.

The number of sessions you’ll need depends on several factors, including:

  • The area being treated
  • The texture and thickness of the hair
  • The hair and skin color

You need multiple treatments for laser hair removal because your hair follicles go through cycles of resting and activity. At any time, some follicles contain hair roots, and some are inactive. We space your treatments far enough apart to allow a new cycle of hair follicles to become active so the laser can treat them.

Laser hair removal is long-lasting but not permanent. Most people have touch-ups, usually once a year, to prevent stray hairs from appearing. Results may last longer depending on the area of hair removal and each individual’s hair growth patterns.

Because our hair removal system keeps your skin cool and comfortable during treatment, you can return to your daily activities with no downtime. Your skin will need consistent sun protection, so wear sunscreen and avoid sun exposure as much as possible. Your skin may look red and feel sensitive for up to a day or two, depending on the area and your skin’s response.

Your JK MedSpa expert can remove hair from areas including, but not limited to:

  • Legs
  • Arms
  • Back
  • Chest
  • Bikini line
  • Facial hair
  • Underarms

While we can treat almost all hair and skin tones, good candidates should have reasonable expectations and healthy skin at the time of treatment. You shouldn’t have laser hair removal on broken or irritated skin. If you prefer immediate hair removal, we also offer waxing.
