Laser Hair Removal Procedures
Laser hair removal is the long-term solution to removing unwanted facial and body hair. Laser hair removal is not effective for hair that is white, grey, red, or blonde.
Due to the growth cycles of human hair, it generally takes a minimum of 6 sessions to achieve the desired result. Hormonal levels also influence hair growth. As such, some clients may need additional sessions or periodic maintenance treatments.
Before Your Laser Hair Removal Appointment
Before your laser hair removal treatment, we do not recommend tanning (natural, spray-on or tanning bed) at any time. For a warm facial glow, we recommend Jane Iredale mineral bronzers and foundation powders.
For our clients who have a tan, they must stop tanning for 4 to 6 weeks prior to treatment, as well as throughout the treatment period and 4 to 6 weeks after the completion of the last treatment session.
During Laser Hair Removal Treatments
During your laser hair removal session, the hair is shaved. Then the laser gauge is passed over the area being treated. Treatment time can be as short as 15 minutes for small areas up to 2 hours or longer for larger areas such as legs and back. During or after treatment you may be offered cooling packs to help to minimize any discomfort or residual heat.

After Laser Hair Removal Results
After your laser hair removal appointment, please follow these recommendations. The length of time between visits to the Albuquerque Laser Center medical spa varies for each patient. We may ask you to return at such time that regrowth starts to reappear.
On average, our clients return in 4-6 weeks between treatments in order treat new hairs as they move into the active growth phase. It is important to remember that only shaving is allowed during and in between sessions.
Sunbathing Alternatives
We do not recommend tanning (natural, spray-on or tanning bed) at any time for our clients. The destructive nature of the aging (UVA) and burning (UVB) rays of the sun will reverse any benefit from laser procedures. For a warm facial glow, we recommend Jane Iredale mineral bronzers and foundation powders.
For our clients who have a tan, they must stop tanning for 4 to 6 weeks prior to treatment, as well as throughout the treatment period and 4 to 6 weeks after the completion of the last treatment session.
