Laser Hair Removal at a Glance
Reduce Unwanted Hair at the Follicle
Laser hair removal is a long-term hair reduction treatment that uses carefully controlled light energy to target hair-producing follicles beneath your skin. Unlike shaving or waxing, which only manage the hair you can see, these treatments work at the follicle itself, gradually reducing how much unwanted hair grows back after a series of sessions
Advanced Laser Hair Removal:
At New You Center, we can choose between two advanced technologies:
- Sciton 1064 nm laser: Delivers a longer wavelength of laser energy deep into the skin to heat and damage targeted hair follicles while limiting energy absorption closer to the surface.
- BBL Forever Bare: Uses rapid pulses of broadband light and built-in cooling to progressively heat hair follicles across the treatment area for efficient long-term hair reduction.

Deep Dive Into Laser Hair Removal
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal works through selective photothermolysis: light targets pigment in your hair while limiting damage to surrounding skin. Melanin in the hair absorbs energy from the Sciton 1064 nm laser or BBL Forever Bare, converting it into heat. That heat travels into the follicle and damages the structures responsible for future hair growth. Because only actively growing hairs respond optimally, you’ll need multiple sessions to catch different follicles at their anagen phase.
When Will I Start Seeing Results From Laser Hair Removal?
You won’t see every treated hair disappear immediately. Over 3 weeks, successfully treated hairs typically begin shedding. With each session, you should gradually notice less regrowth, slower-growing hair, and finer hair in the treated area.
What Is Recovery Like After My Treatment?
Downtime is usually minimal. Your skin may look slightly red or feel warm and sensitive for several hours, somewhat like a mild sunburn. Small bumps around individual follicles can also temporarily appear as the treated follicles respond.
FAQs
How Many Laser Hair Removal Treatments Will I Need?
Most people need a series because your hairs aren’t all growing simultaneously. A starting plan may involve about 6 to 8 treatments, often spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart, depending on the area. Hormones, hair density, and your individual growth cycle can affect the number you need.
Why Can’t All My Hair Be Treated in One Session?
Hair grows in cycles. Laser and light-based treatments work most effectively during the anagen, or active growth, phase, when the hair is connected to structures within the follicle. Multiple sessions allow us to treat additional hair follicles as they enter that stage.
