Laser Hair Removal at The Med Spa at MIM
Laser hair removal is a safe, effective means of removing unwanted hair from anywhere on the face or body. Here’s how it works: the laser emits a wavelength of light optimized to target melanin, the pigment that gives hair its color. This light is converted to heat inside the hair follicle, reducing or destroying its ability to produce more hair in the future. The area is shaved before treatment so that burning hair doesn’t damage your skin.
Laser hair removal isn’t the same as a waxing appointment – you won’t walk out of a session immediately hair-free. Instead, hair in the treated area will shed over the next few days or weeks.
This service has many benefits over other depilatory methods, including:
- Precision: this technology targets hair specifically, leaving your skin undamaged
- Speed: the laser’s ultra-fast pulse treats an area the size of a quarter in just 1 second
- Reliability: you’re guaranteed to see long-lasting results after only a few sessions
Although laser hair removal doesn’t necessarily remove all hair on the treated area permanently, it will reduce the overall number of hair that grows back. And another benefit is that hair that does grow back is finer and lighter in color, giving the impression of less hair altogether.

Before and After Photos
Please note that the patients featured in these images may have undergone other treatments in conjunction with laser hair removal. This photo gallery does not guarantee that everyone who undergoes laser hair removal will obtain these or similar results.
Unless you’ve had laser hair removal before, it’s difficult to predict the duration of your results. For most people, it lasts several months; some may find it lasts for years. When your hair eventually regrows, it’s likely to be finer and lighter in color.
Who Are the Best Candidates for Laser Hair Removal?
Until recently, only people with light skin and dark hair were considered good candidates for laser hair removal. But laser technology is constantly improving, and we can now safely provide treatment for almost all skin tones.
However, very light or gray hair doesn’t always respond to laser hair removal. The best way to determine your candidacy for laser hair removal is by booking a consultation with our team.

What to Expect During Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment
At your first laser hair removal session, you will be provided with protective goggles and asked to lie down on a comfortable table. We will begin by shaving the area to be treated (if you haven’t already done so); this prevents your hair from burning and damaging the skin.
Next, our certified laser technician will pass a hand-held laser device over the treatment area. Depending on the area’s size, this procedure may take anywhere from several minutes to 2 hours.
After the session, you may experience minor redness and swelling for a few hours. If the sensation becomes uncomfortable, you can always use an ice pack to cool off your skin quickly.
Your next scheduled treatment will be anywhere from 4–16 weeks later, or however long it takes for the hair to grow back. Most people require 2–6 sessions to eliminate or reduce the appearance of hair.
