Shaving, waxing, and plucking are some of the most time-consuming beauty routines, with data suggesting the average woman spends over 1,700 hours shaving over her lifetime. That's a lot of time to spend battling unwanted hair.
At Laser Beauty Works a premier medical aesthetics clinic in Denver, Colorado, we offer a modern alternative: safe, effective, and long-lasting laser hair removal. With advanced technology like the Candela GentleMax Pro and a personalized, skin-type-safe approach, our certified team helps clients achieve smoother skin with fewer appointments and better outcomes.
Now, let’s explore how laser hair removal works and why it’s a preferred solution for permanent hair reduction.
The Science Behind Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a medical-grade treatment that uses a focused beam of light to target the pigment in hair follicles. When the melanin in the hair absorbs this light, it turns into heat, damaging the follicle’s ability to regrow hair. Over time, this leads to permanent hair reduction in the treated areas.
At Laser Beauty Works, we utilize the Candela GentleMax Pro—a dual-wavelength system combining Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers. This allows us to safely treat a broad range of skin tones while adjusting the intensity for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Understanding Hair Growth Cycles
Hair grows in a natural cycle with three phases: anagen (active growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). The laser hair removal process is most effective during the anagen phase, when the hair is actively growing and still attached to the follicle.
Because not all hair is in the same growth stage at once, a single treatment won’t catch every follicle. That’s why we recommend a series of 6 to 10 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, to target hair effectively across all phases. Clients treating larger areas like the legs or back may require slightly longer intervals between appointments, while facial hair may need shorter gaps.
Personalized Safety for All Skin Types
Safety and skin compatibility are top priorities. Our technology and protocols allow us to customize each treatment based on the patient's skin type, hair texture, and treatment area.
Laser Beauty Works conducts a thorough consultation before your first session. We assess your skin and hair profile, answer your questions, and explain realistic outcomes. Protective eyewear is provided, and the Candela device features a built-in Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD) to minimize discomfort.
Common side effects are mild and temporary, redness, warmth, or slight swelling, which typically subside within a few hours. More serious risks like pigmentation changes or burns are rare and largely preventable when the treatment is performed by trained professionals, like our team in Denver.

What Results Can You Expect?
It’s important to note that laser hair removal doesn't provide instant results. In the days following treatment, hairs gradually shed from the damaged follicles. To the untrained eye, this may resemble continued growth—but it’s actually part of the process.
Most patients begin noticing reduced thickness and slower regrowth after just a few sessions. After completing a full treatment series, you can expect up to 80–90% permanent hair reduction, with remaining hairs becoming finer and lighter.
Long-term results vary by individual. While many patients enjoy smooth skin for years, occasional maintenance sessions—typically once or twice a year—may be needed for hormonal areas like the chin, underarms, or bikini line.
Why Laser Hair Removal Outperforms Traditional Methods
Unlike shaving, waxing, or chemical depilatories, laser hair removal delivers lasting results and minimizes skin irritation over time. Here's why more people are choosing laser hair removal treatments:
- Permanent hair reduction after a full treatment cycle
- Minimized ingrown hairs and razor bumps
- Smoother skin texture without stubble or irritation
- Time-saving routine with fewer grooming sessions
- Cost-effective in the long run—no need for razors, wax kits, or salon visits
For anyone tired of short-term solutions, the laser hair removal benefits go beyond aesthetics; they offer real lifestyle freedom.
