Smooth, long-lasting results without the razor
Laser hair removal is a safe, effective treatment that uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles — permanently reducing hair growth in treated areas. Unlike waxing, shaving, or threading, laser hair removal delivers lasting results with no ingrown hairs, razor bumps, or irritation.
At Flawless MD, we use medical-grade laser systems that are safe for multiple skin types. Our protocols are customized for your hair color, skin tone, and treatment area to maximize effectiveness while protecting surrounding skin.
Laser energy is selectively absorbed by melanin (pigment) in the hair shaft and follicle. The heat generated destroys the follicle's ability to regrow hair — without damaging surrounding skin tissue.
Laser is most effective on hair in the active growth (anagen) phase. Since not all follicles are in this phase simultaneously, a series of sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart is required to capture all follicles at their most vulnerable stage.
Shave the area 24 hours before your appointment. Avoid waxing, threading, or plucking for 4 weeks prior. Limit sun exposure before and after treatment.
A cooling handpiece protects the skin surface as laser pulses target the follicles. Sensation is similar to a rubber band snap. Sessions range from 10 minutes (underarms) to 60+ minutes (full legs).
Hair sheds over 1–2 weeks post-treatment. Each session reduces total hair by 15–25%. After a full series (6–8 sessions), most patients achieve 80–90% permanent reduction.
Most patients require 6–8 sessions to achieve optimal permanent hair reduction. Hormonal areas (face, bikini) may require more sessions. Maintenance sessions once or twice a year help address any regrowth.
Modern laser systems can safely treat a broad range of skin tones. Nd:YAG lasers are specifically safe for darker skin tones. Dr. Nam will select the appropriate laser wavelength based on your skin and hair color combination.
Laser hair removal causes permanent reduction — meaning treated follicles are permanently destroyed. Hormonal changes can stimulate previously dormant follicles, which is why occasional maintenance may be needed.
There is typically no downtime. You may notice mild redness and follicle swelling (like goosebumps) for a few hours post-treatment. Avoid sun exposure and hot showers for 24–48 hours.
