Laser hair removal works by delivering controlled light energy into the hair follicle. The pigment within the hair absorbs this energy, helping to disable future growth while leaving surrounding skin unaffected. This process is called "selective photothermolysis."
Because hair grows in cycles, treatments are scheduled at carefully timed intervals (generally 4-6 weeks) to target follicles during their active growth phase. Most clients require a series of treatments to achieve optimal long-term reduction .
Laser hair removal is generally most effective on individuals with darker hair and lighter skin tones, where there is strong contrast between hair pigment and surrounding skin. Treatment is less effective on blonde, grey, white, and very light red hair due to the limited pigment available for the laser to target.
During your consultation, we'll assess your skin type, hair characteristics, and treatment goals to determine whether laser hair removal is appropriate for you.
If you're considering treatment, it's best to start early. As hair loses pigment over time and turns white or grey, laser hair removal becomes significantly less effective.
After your laser hair removal treatment, you may experience mild redness, similar to a light sunburn, which typically subsides within 2-24 hours. Over the next 7 to 14 days, you might notice treated hair shedding. This is not new hair growth but the natural expulsion of treated hair roots.
For the first 24 hours post treatment, you'll want to avoid any irritants such as hot tubs, chlorinated swimming pools, tight clothing, and vigorous exercise that may create friction on the treated areas. You should be able to resume normal activities within 24 hours. If needed a cold roller or compress can be applied to the area post treatment, although this is generally not required.
We've created a comfortable, private environment for your treatment experience. During your session, your treatment provider will move the laser handpiece over your skin, delivering pulses of energy to the hair follicles. You'll feel a mild to moderate sensation as the active hair follicles are destroyed.

The short answer: not exactly—but almost. Laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, in most cases after 6-8 sessions, but maintenance treatments may be needed over time.
Hair follicles that have been effectively treated with laser should not produce new hair. However, some follicles may only be partially damaged during a session, which is why multiple treatments are necessary to ensure these follicles are permanently destroyed. Additionally, laser hair removal is most effective on hair in the active growth phase. Since some follicles will be in a resting phase during any given time, multiple treatments are required to target hairs at different stages of the growth cycle.
Factors like hormonal changes (hello, pregnancy!) or certain medical conditions can also trigger new hair growth, even in previously treated areas. That being said, at Glow Luxe we are aware of clients that have had 4,5 or 6 sessions and are still hair free 10 years later.
