Laser Hair Removal for a Hot Girl Summer
The warm summer months are nearly here and let’s be honest: we all want a hot girl summer. After nearly a year off from social events (thanks COVID), this summer is bound to be booming with pool parties, beach getaways, and... less clothing. 👙 That means extra shaving, waxing, and tweezing. That is, unless you get lasered.
If you’re considering laser hair removal, we’re here to answer all your questions. Many of our Utah-based clients ask us, is it worth it?
In one word: YES.
But don’t take our word for it. Read on to learn all about laser hair removal and why it’s one of our top services. Ready to say goodbye to unwanted body hair once and for all? Let’s dive in.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the U.S. for both men and women. The treatment involves a medical-grade laser that beams highly concentrated light directly into hair follicles. The pigment within the follicles absorbs the light and destroys the hair. The laser is designed to target dark, coarse hair leaving the surrounding skin totally safe.
It can be performed on nearly every part of the body, but the most common regions are the pubic region (bikini or Brazilian), face, legs, back, neck, and armpits.
Shaving, waxing, and epilation treatments are outdated and annoying, not to mention a booby trap for razor burn, bumps, and ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal reduces ingrown hairs - plus many other benefits.

Is laser hair removal permanent?
Technically no, but it’s close. Laser hair removal stops new hairs from growing and puts the follicles in a state of dormancy. This period lasts much longer than other hair removal methods like shaving and waxing. When and if the hairs do grow back, they are lighter, finer, and fewer in number.
It’s important to note that laser treatments only reduce the number of unwanted hairs. It doesn’t get rid of the hairs in an area completely. Most patients see a reduction of about 60-80%.
Many clients don’t see hair return for 10+ years, while others do have some regrowth. This can easily be managed through yearly touch-ups.
Who is a candidate for laser hair removal?
It’s an ideal treatment for anyone that suffers from razor burn, unsightly bumps, and ingrown hairs. That said, it works best on patients with darker hair and lighter skin. Why? The laser focuses on light and dark pigments, so if skin competes for this attention, it may not zap as many hairs as you wish.
What to expect from a laser treatment
Laser hair removal is an investment that requires multiple treatments. Hair in our body goes through a growth cycle and lasers can only terminate hair within a certain stage. Since hair grows at different rates, multiple treatments are needed to destroy hair as they pass through this ideal stage.
The average patient will see full results in 3-7 sessions, spaced 3 weeks apart. Depending on your hairy situation, we’ll suggest the most optimal plan for you. Pricing varies depending on the area you’re getting serviced.
