Recommended Treatments
Every treatment plan is customized during your consultation. Here are the treatments we most commonly recommend for unwanted hair.
Our Candela GentleMax Pro Plus delivers targeted laser energy that is absorbed by the melanin in hair follicles, permanently disabling their ability to produce new hair. The built-in Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) makes treatment virtually pain-free. Dual wavelengths (Alexandrite 755nm for lighter skin, Nd:YAG 1064nm for darker skin) ensure safe treatment for all skin types.
Best for: All areas — face, underarms, legs, bikini, Brazilian, back, chest

Every treatment is supervised by our Medical Director, and our experienced laser technicians customize parameters for your specific skin tone and hair type. We offer competitive package pricing for full treatment courses (typically 6-8 sessions), and most clients see 80-90% permanent hair reduction.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions do I need?+
Most clients need 6-8 sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area. Hair grows in cycles, and the laser is only effective during the active growth phase (anagen). Multiple sessions ensure we catch all follicles during this phase.
Is laser hair removal safe for dark skin?+
Yes. Our Candela GentleMax Pro Plus features a 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength specifically designed for safe, effective treatment on Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin types. This wavelength bypasses surface melanin to target the hair follicle directly, minimizing the risk of burns or hyperpigmentation.
Does it hurt?+
Our laser features a built-in Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) that sprays a cooling mist before each pulse, making treatment very comfortable. Most clients describe the sensation as a warm snap, much less painful than waxing. Sensitive areas like the bikini line may feel more intense but are very tolerable.
Is the hair removal permanent?+
Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction of 80-90% after a full treatment course. Some fine or light hairs may persist, and hormonal changes can sometimes trigger new hair growth. Most clients need 1-2 annual maintenance sessions to maintain results.
