What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target hair follicles and reduce future hair growth. At Prolase, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro platform, which includes Alexandrite and Nd: YAG wavelengths to treat a wide range of skin tones and hair types.
IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL
RIGHT FOR YOU?
Most healthy adults are candidates for laser hair removal. During your consultation, we'll assess your skin tone, hair color, and treatment history to recommend the safest and most effective plan. Best results typically occur when there is contrast between hair and skin tone Hormonal changes can affect hair growth patterns. Some medications and recent sun exposure may impact treatment timing. A consultation is required to confirm candidacy and build your personalized treatment plan.

FAQ
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients need a series of sessions because hair grows in cycles. A typical plan is multiple treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the area. It is important to be consistent as you begin your treatments.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Sensation varies by area and individual sensitivity. Many patients describe the feeling as being similar to a rubber band snap. Your provider can tailor settings to improve comfort while maintaining effectiveness. We also offer numbing cream for sensitive areas.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction. Some clients may need occasional maintenance treatments depending on hormones and individual hair growth patterns. On average our clients who have completed their treatments at Prolase come in 1-2 times per year for maintanence.
Is laser hair removal safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, when the right technology and settings are used. GentleMax Pro includes Nd:YAG options that can be selected for a wide range of skin tones based on your provider’s assessment.
Should I shave before my appointment?
Typically yes. Shaving helps the laser target the follicle under the skin while reducing surface hair. Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading before treatments.
What should I avoid before laser hair removal?
Avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure before treatment. Also disclose skincare, medications, or recent procedures so your provider can recommend the safest timing.
What is the downtime after laser hair removal?
Downtime is minimal. Mild redness or sensitivity can occur and typically resolves quickly. Follow aftercare and avoid heat/excessive sun immediately after treatment.
Can laser hair removal help with ingrown hairs?

Can I get laser hair removal if I’m pregnant?
Policies vary by provider and individual circumstances. At Prolase we generally do not treat pregnant or postpartum women.
