Laser Hair Removal

Most clients need a series of 6–8 sessions to achieve the best long-term results. The exact number depends on the treatment area, hair color and thickness, skin type, hormones, and individual hair growth cycle. Maintenance sessions may be recommended over time.

Laser hair removal is usually very tolerable. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap or warm pinch on the skin. At Laser Center by Jana Bay, we use professional technology with cooling features to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.

Shave the treatment area approximately 24 hours before your appointment unless your provider gives you different instructions. Please do not wax, pluck, thread, epilate, or use electrolysis before treatment, as the laser needs the hair follicle to remain intact.

Laser hair removal can be performed on many areas, including the face, underarms, arms, legs, bikini area, Brazilian, back, chest, stomach, shoulders, neck, and more. During your consultation, we will help determine the best treatment plan for your desired areas.

Avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, and similar activities immediately after treatment while the skin is sensitive.
