How Candela Laser Hair Removal Works

Each hair follicle contains a pigment called melanin. During treatment, the GentleMax Pro directs a precisely calibrated beam of light at the follicle. The light energy is absorbed by the pigment, which disables follicles that are in an active growth stage (the anagen phase). Because follicles cycle through growth stages at different times, multiple treatments are necessary to achieve full, lasting results.

Most patients need 8 to 10 treatments at specified intervals to reach their desired outcome. The texture of your hair, the treatment area, and your history with temporary removal methods like waxing and tweezing all play a role in the number of sessions needed.

Laser hair removal offers a permanent reduction solution that shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams simply cannot. Treatments are affordable, gentle, and fast!

Laser Hair Removal for Every Area

Treatment Areas

The Candela GentleMax Pro is safe and effective across a wide range of body areas. At Laser Beauty Works, we treat both large and small areas with precision and comfort.

  • Legs: Smooth, hair-free legs are one of the most popular reasons patients come to us. Laser hair removal on the legs is fast and effective, and it eliminates the need for constant shaving or frequent waxing appointments. We treat the full leg, lower leg, or upper leg depending on your goals.
  • Face and Upper Lip: Unwanted facial hair, especially on the upper lip, chin, and along the hairline, can be a daily frustration. Laser hair removal offers a precise, long-lasting solution for the face. Treatments are quick and deliver a noticeably smoother complexion over time.
  • Arms and Underarms: From the full arm to just the underarms, laser hair removal reduces hair growth in areas that can be difficult and time-consuming to maintain. Underarm treatments are especially popular for their speed and the lasting results they provide.
  • Bikini and Brazilian: Whether you prefer a classic bikini line cleanup or a full Brazilian, our team provides thorough, comfortable treatment in a professional environment. The GentleMax Pro's Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) helps keep sensitive areas comfortable throughout each session.
  • Back: Back hair removal is one of the most requested treatments for men. The GentleMax Pro's large spot size makes treating the full back efficient without sacrificing precision or comfort. Most patients see a significant reduction after just a few sessions.
  • Chest: Laser hair removal on the chest is a smooth, low-maintenance solution for both men and women who want to reduce or eliminate chest hair. Treatments are customized to cover as much or as little of the area as desired.
  • Neck: The neck, including the nape and lower neck, is a common area for unwanted hair growth. Laser treatments provide clean, precise results in this visible area without the irritation that razors and waxing can cause.

Preparing for Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Pre- and Post-Care

Getting the best results from your laser hair removal starts before you walk in the door. Please keep the following in mind before your appointment:

  • Shave the treatment area 24 to 48 hours before your session. Do not wax, thread, or use depilatory creams in the weeks leading up to treatment, as these remove the hair follicle that the laser needs to target.
  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 to 4 weeks before your appointment. Tanned skin increases the risk of side effects and can affect treatment outcomes.
  • Skip self-tanner and spray tan products for 2 weeks prior to your session.
  • Come to your appointment with clean skin. Remove any lotion, deodorant, or cosmetics from the treatment area before arriving.
  • Avoid certain skincare products such as retinoids and exfoliating acids on the treatment area for at least 5 to 7 days before your appointment.

Post-care is just as important as preparation. After your laser hair removal session:

  • Expect some redness and mild swelling. This is completely normal and usually resolves within a few hours. The skin may feel like a mild sunburn.
  • Apply a cool compress or aloe vera gel to soothe the treated area if needed.
  • Avoid heat for 24 to 48 hours after your session. This includes hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and intense exercise.
  • Stay out of the sun and apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily to the treated area. Sun exposure after treatment can increase sensitivity and affect your results.
  • Do not wax or pluck hair between sessions. Shaving is fine if needed.
  • Shedding is normal. Over the 2 to 3 weeks following treatment, treated hairs will shed on their own. This is a sign the treatment is working.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who typically benefits most from laser hair removal?

Men, women, and nonbinary individuals of all races and skin types can benefit from laser hair removal at Laser Beauty Works. The Candela GentleMax Pro is safe for a wide range of skin tones and hair types. Common treatment areas include the face, upper lip, chin, neck, shoulders, back, chest, arms, underarms, abdomen, bikini area, legs, hands, and feet.

How much does laser hair removal cost?

The cost varies depending on the treatment area and package. We offer flexible payment plans to fit your budget, and your first consultation is always free. Visit us to discuss your options and receive a personalized quote.

How many sessions does laser hair removal take on legs vs. the face?

The number of sessions needed varies by area. Legs typically require 8 to 10 treatments because of the larger surface area and variation in hair density. The face, including the upper lip, often responds a bit faster due to finer hair, but most patients still need 6 to 8 sessions for full reduction. Hormonal factors can also affect how the face responds over time. Your provider will give you a personalized estimate during your free consultation.

Does laser hair removal work on dark skin?

Yes! The Candela GentleMax Pro is specifically designed to treat a full range of skin tones safely and effectively, including deeper skin tones. The system uses both Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths, which allows us to select the right setting for your skin type. If you have darker skin, the Nd:YAG wavelength penetrates deeper into the follicle while bypassing surface melanin, reducing the risk of irritation or discoloration. We will assess your skin tone at your consultation and customize your treatment plan accordingly.

Is the Candela GentleMax Pro better than other laser hair removal systems?

The Candela GentleMax Pro is widely regarded as one of the gold-standard systems in the industry. It combines two laser wavelengths (755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG) in a single platform, making it more versatile than single-wavelength devices. It also features Candela's patented Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD), which delivers a burst of cryogen to the skin a fraction of a second before each laser pulse to protect the surface and keep treatments comfortable. This combination of precision, versatility, and built-in cooling is a big reason why Laser Beauty Works trusts the GentleMax Pro for every patient.

Can I shave between laser hair removal sessions?

Yes, shaving between sessions is perfectly fine and actually encouraged if needed. The key is to avoid waxing, threading, tweezing, or using depilatory creams between treatments. Those methods remove the hair root, which is what the laser needs to target. Shaving simply cuts the hair at the surface and leaves the follicle intact.

How long does laser hair removal last?

Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction, meaning the majority of treated hairs will not grow back. Most patients see an 80 to 90% reduction after completing their full treatment plan. Some patients may notice occasional fine regrowth over time, particularly in areas influenced by hormonal changes, and a touch-up session can address this. Compared to shaving and waxing, the results are dramatically longer lasting.

What are the most common side effects?

Most patients experience minimal to no side effects. The most common reactions are temporary redness and mild swelling, similar to a light sunburn, that typically resolve within a few hours. Proper pre- and post-care goes a long way in keeping your skin comfortable and your results on track.
