Laser Hair Removal

WHAT IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

Laser hair removal is a safe and effective treatment that uses advanced light energy to target and reduce unwanted hair. At The Lotus Medspa, we use the Forever Bare BBL™ by Sciton, a cutting-edge technology designed to deliver fast, comfortable, and efficient hair reduction.

​

The laser targets pigment in the hair follicle, delivering controlled energy that helps disable future hair growth while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. Over a series of treatments, this results in long-term hair reduction and smoother skin.

BENEFITS OF LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Laser hair removal provides a long-term solution for reducing unwanted hair while improving overall skin smoothness.

​

Benefits may include:

​

  • Long-term reduction of unwanted hair

  • Smoother, softer skin

  • Reduction in ingrown hairs

  • Less irritation compared to shaving or waxing

  • Fast and efficient treatments

  • Minimal downtime​

WHAT TO EXPECT

BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT

Proper preparation is extremely important for both safety and results.

  • There cannot be ANY tanned skin at the time of treatment

  • Avoid sun exposure and do not tan or use self-tanner for at least 6 weeks prior

  • Treating tanned skin can increase the risk of burns, as the laser targets pigment and may affect the surrounding skin

  • Shave the treatment area 48–72 hours before your appointment

  • Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading prior to treatment, as the hair follicle must be present for the laser to be effective

​

​

DURING YOUR TREATMENT

During treatment, the Forever Bare BBL device delivers rapid pulses of light to the treatment area. Patients typically feel a warm, quick snapping sensation, but the device is designed with advanced cooling to keep treatments comfortable.

​

Treatments are relatively quick, and timing depends on the size of the area being treated.

​

​

AFTER YOUR TREATMENT

After your session, you may experience mild redness or sensitivity similar to a light sunburn, which typically resolves within a few hours.

​

Following treatment, we recommend:

​

  • Avoiding sun exposure and wearing broad-spectrum SPF daily

  • Avoiding heat (saunas, hot tubs, intense workouts) for 24 hours

  • Keeping the skin moisturized and following any post-care instructions provided

​

Hair will gradually shed over the following 1–2 weeks as the treated follicles are eliminated.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How many treatments will I need?

​Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are needed to effectively target all hair follicles. With most patients we start with a series of 6 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart for optimal results.

Who is a good candidate?

​

Laser hair removal is ideal for individuals looking to reduce unwanted hair and improve skin smoothness. The best candidates typically have contrast between hair color and skin tone and are able to avoid sun exposure before and after treatments. A consultation is required prior to any laser treatments. 

Does LHR hurt?​


Most patients find the treatment very tolerable, describing it as a quick snapping sensation with built-in cooling for comfort. Some areas may be more sensitive. 

When will I see results?​

Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction, though occasional maintenance treatments may be recommended. Hormonal changes can also effect the longevity of treatments.

Why do I need multiple treatments?

Hair grows in different cycles, and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase. Multiple sessions ensure that all hair follicles are treated effectively.
