What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that utilizes concentrated beams of light (lasers) to target and destroy hair follicles. The process selectively targets dark pigment in the hair while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. This method is suitable for various body areas including legs, arms, underarms, bikini lines, and even facial hair.

How Does It Work?

Consultation: Your journey begins with a detailed consultation at American Laser Med Spa where a professional assesses your skin type and hair color. Preparation: The area of treatment will be cleaned and sometimes shaved. Laser Application: A specialized laser device emits light pulses that penetrate the skin and reach the hair follicles. Post-Treatment Care: After the session, professionals will provide guidelines on how to care for your skin.

Benefits of Choosing American Laser Med Spa
