What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Traditional hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, and tweezing are costly, uncomfortable, and only provide short-term results. That's why it's no surprise that laser hair removal has quickly become one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in America. This advanced procedure uses focused light energy to target the roots of unwanted facial or body hair, reducing growth at the source rather than just on the surface. We perform laser hair removal at Malama MedSpa using state-of-the-art technology that can safely treat nearly any part of the body, including the face, legs, back, underarms, or bikini area. Over a series of laser hair removal sessions at our Paradise Valley, AZ practice, many clients notice that hair grows back finer, more slowly, or, in some cases, not at all. If you're ready to ditch your razors and cancel your waxing appointments, we invite you to schedule your consultation with our med spa providers to discover the benefits of laser hair removal for yourself.
How Is Laser Hair Removal Performed?
Because hair grows in cycles, it will take a series of laser hair removal sessions spaced out over time to achieve your desired results. We'll start each appointment by gently cleansing the treatment area and providing protective eyewear. Once preparation is complete, we'll pass our laser handpiece over the area, delivering pulses of light that target pigment within the hair follicle. You might notice a snapping sensation against your skin, but the process is usually not too uncomfortable for most clients. The length of each appointment will depend on the size of the area we're treating — smaller areas like the upper lip or underarms usually take 5 – 10 minutes per session, while larger areas like the legs or back may be up to an hour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How much does laser hair removal cost?
A. Getting laser hair removal will vary in cost based on the coverage area being addressed on the body, in addition to how many sessions are needed to get a smooth result. To help you consider the benefits of choosing laser hair removal, consider the energy and time you currently spend on shaving, waxing, or other methods. By comparison, laser hair removal is usually cheaper, ultimately saving you energy and time in the long run. Your technician will develop a personalized treatment plan for you that includes the total number of appointments you need and pricing options to consider.
Q. Is laser hair removal permanent?
A. Laser hair removal is an effective treatment for lasting improvements. While patients can enjoy the results of the procedure for a long time, laser hair removal is considered semi-permanent because some hair may continue growing. However, patients find that the majority of the hairs are dormant once their plan is done, and if a few hairs pop up, they are very easy to deal with. Additional laser hair removal treatments can be scheduled to address any stragglers or new growth as well.
​
Q. Why do I need multiple laser hair removal sessions?​
A. Your hair growth occurs in cycles. When some hair follicles are in a live growing phase, other follicles are resting. Since every follicle grows in a different stage, several treatments are usually suggested to target each hair when it's active. Getting your sessions over a few weeks helps you get the smoothest, most effective result possible.
