Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal

Smooth Skin, Long-Lasting Results

Say goodbye to shaving, waxing, and ingrown hairs with our advanced laser hair removal treatments. At Permaskin, we use medical-grade laser technology that is safe for all skin types and delivers long-term results with minimal discomfort.

How It Works

Our lasers target the pigment in hair follicles, heating them to prevent future hair growth — all without damaging the surrounding skin. With each session, hair becomes finer, lighter, and grows back slower until it eventually stops.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

We offer full-body laser hair removal, including:

  • Face (upper lip, chin, sideburns)

  • Underarms

  • Arms & Legs

  • Back & Chest

  • Bikini Line & Brazilian

  • Stomach

  • Toes & Fingers

You can choose individual areas or full-body sessions for maximum value.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

For best results, we recommend a package of 6–8 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Touch-ups may be needed yearly, depending on your hair growth cycle.

BEFORE YOUR LASER SESSION

• Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment
• Skin must be clean (no lotion, oil, deodorant, makeup, or perfume)
• Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, or self-tanner for at least 2 weeks
• Do NOT wax, thread, pluck, or use depilatory creams 4 weeks before
• Avoid exfoliation, retinol, acids, or active skincare 5–7 days before
• Inform your provider of medications, pregnancy, or skin conditions

AFTER YOUR LASER SESSION

• Mild redness or warmth is normal and should subside within a few hours
• Apply aloe vera or soothing gel as recommended
• Avoid sun exposure and always wear SPF 30+ (reapply as needed)
• No hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, workouts, or swimming for 24–48 hours
• Avoid exfoliation, retinol, acids, scrubs, and harsh products for 5–7 days
• Do NOT wax or pluck between sessions — shaving only

✨ To prevent hyperpigmentation:
• Apply broad-spectrum SPF daily, even on cloudy days
• Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 2 weeks post-treatment
• Do not scratch, rub, or irritate the treated area
• Follow all aftercare instructions strictly to reduce the risk of dark spots

💬 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes, laser hair removal is very safe when performed by trained professionals. At Permaskin, we use medical-grade technology that is gentle, effective, and suitable for all skin tones.

2. Does it hurt?

Not at all! Most clients describe the treatment as completely pain-free. We apply a cooling gel before each session to protect the skin and enhance comfort. The sensation feels like mild warmth — no burning, no stinging, and no downtime.

3. How many sessions will I need?

For best results, we recommend 6–8 sessions, spaced every 4–6 weeks. Some areas may need maintenance touch-ups once or twice a year, depending on hormones or hair type.

4. What areas can be treated?

Almost any area of the body can be treated, including:

  • Face (lip, chin, sideburns)

  • Underarms

  • Arms & Legs

  • Back & Chest

  • Bikini & Brazilian

  • Stomach

  • Toes, fingers, and more

5. Who is a good candidate?

Laser hair removal works best on dark hair, and our advanced technology is designed to be safe and effective for all skin types — especially darker skin tones. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin and hair to ensure laser is the right and most effective option for you.

6. How should I prepare for my appointment?

  • Shave the treatment area 24 hours before

  • Avoid waxing, tweezing, or threading before and during your treatment series

  • Don’t apply lotions, creams, or deodorant before your session

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least a week

7. What happens after treatment?

  • Mild redness or sensitivity is normal and usually fades within a few hours

8. Are the results permanent?

Laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction. Most clients see a 90%+ decrease in hair growth, and any regrowth is typically finer and lighter. Occasional touch-ups may be needed depending on the area and your hair cycle.
