-
Treated hairs typically begin shedding within 7–10 days and continue falling out over the next 2–3 weeks. Each session reduces about 10–15% of hair, with most patients achieving approximately 70–80% overall hair reduction after completing a full treatment series.
-
Laser hair removal is FDA-cleared for permanent hair reduction. While occasional maintenance treatments may be recommended, most patients enjoy long-lasting smoothness with significantly less hair growth.
-
Hair grows in cycles, and the laser only works on hairs in the active growth phase. Multiple sessions are needed to target follicles as they enter that stage.
-
Laser energy targets the pigment in unwanted hair and delivers heat to the follicle to help prevent future growth. Because the treatment relies on pigment, it is not effective on white, gray, red, or very light blonde hair.
-
Shave the treatment area the day before or the day of your appointment. Avoid tanning, waxing, plucking, and depilatory creams, and arrive with clean skin free of lotions or self-tanner.
-
Arm and hand treatments are considered body treatments and are typically scheduled every 6–8 weeks to align with the natural hair growth cycle.
-
Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinprick or mild stinging feeling. Treatment is highly tolerable, and your provider can adjust settings for optimal comfort.
-
Treatment time depends on the size of the area being treated, but most appointments are completed in under an hour.
-
For 24 hours, avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, swimming, and exfoliation. Protect treated skin with SPF 30+ sunscreen and shave instead of waxing or plucking between sessions.
-
Mild redness and slight swelling around the treated follicles are normal and typically resolve within 2–3 days, though they may occasionally last up to one week.
-
Most side effects are mild and temporary. Potential reactions include redness, swelling, folliculitis, contact dermatitis, temporary skin discoloration, and, rarely, blistering.
-
The cost of laser hair removal for arms and hands depends on your treatment goals and customized treatment plan. Your provider will review pricing during your consultation.
-
No, arm and hand laser hair removal is considered a cosmetic treatment and is generally not covered by insurance.
Flexible financing and payment options are available.
