Laser Hair Removal: Fewer Sessions, Lasting Results

Shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams all share the same limitation: they remove hair temporarily, leaving you to repeat the process every few days or weeks indefinitely. Laser hair removal takes a different approach, targeting hair at the follicle to reduce regrowth permanently over a series of treatments, rather than offering a solution that needs to be redone constantly.

At Revive, we use Diolaze, a high-speed laser system built for comfort, efficiency, and results that hold up over time. Ask your provider which areas would benefit most from a laser hair removal series based on your hair type and goals.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal uses concentrated laser energy to target the pigment in hair follicles, damaging their ability to produce new hair over time. At Revive, we use Diolaze, a high-speed laser system with one of the largest treatment spot sizes available, allowing sessions to move significantly faster than older laser technology while still delivering effective, even coverage.

Because hair grows in cycles, no single session can treat every follicle at once. A series of treatments is required to catch hair at each stage of its growth cycle, which is how laser hair removal achieves lasting reduction rather than temporary removal.

Areas We Commonly Treat

Laser hair removal can be performed on nearly any area of the body where unwanted hair is a concern.

  • Face, upper lip, and chin
  • Underarms
  • Bikini area
  • Legs
  • Back, chest, and shoulders

For the past decade, I’ve visited various injectors in hopes of addressing the hollowness under my eyes, but unfortunately, my experiences only made the situation worse. I was dealing with significant volume loss. Thankfully, I discovered Tracy, who skillfully restored my under-eye area without compromising my overall appearance. The eye troughs can be particularly challenging, but I completely trust her expertise. I’m thrilled with the results, and will never go anywhere else. If you're struggling with under-eye issues, I highly recommend consulting Tracy; she is truly exceptional.

Are You a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal works best for patients with hair that has enough pigment for the laser to target effectively, which typically means darker hair responds most predictably. Most skin types are candidates for treatment, though your provider will assess your specific hair and skin tone during your consultation to determine the right laser settings for safe, effective results.

Patients tired of the ongoing cost and upkeep of shaving or waxing, especially for larger areas like the legs or back, tend to see the most value from committing to a full treatment series.

Recovery and Results Following Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal requires no real downtime. Mild redness or slight sensitivity in the treated area is common immediately after a session and typically resolves within a few hours.

Because hair grows in cycles, a full series of four to six sessions, spaced several weeks apart, is typically needed to treat hair at each stage of growth. Some hair may continue to shed gradually in the weeks following each session, which is a normal part of the process. Most patients see significant, long-term reduction in hair growth after completing their full series, with periodic touch-up sessions sometimes recommended to maintain results over time.

Laser Hair Removal Frequently Asked Questions

Is laser hair removal really permanent?

Laser hair removal provides long-term, significant reduction in hair growth rather than guaranteed permanent removal for every patient. Most patients experience lasting results after completing a full series, though some fine or lighter hairs may eventually require touch-up treatment.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients complete their treatment series in four to six sessions, fewer than many older laser systems require, since hair needs to be treated at multiple stages of its natural growth cycle.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Diolaze uses a cooling technology during treatment that makes sessions significantly more comfortable than older laser systems, with most patients describing the sensation as a mild warming or snapping feeling rather than significant pain.

Can laser hair removal work on all skin tones?

Diolaze is designed to safely treat a range of skin tones, though your provider will assess your specific skin and hair color during consultation to confirm candidacy and determine the appropriate settings.

How long does a session take?

Thanks to Diolaze's large spot size, sessions are notably faster than older laser technology, with smaller areas like the upper lip taking just minutes and larger areas like the legs or back completed more quickly than with traditional lasers.

Can I shave between sessions?

Yes. Shaving between sessions is not only fine but recommended, since it removes surface hair without disturbing the follicle the laser is targeting. Waxing or plucking between sessions should be avoided, as it removes the follicle the treatment relies on.
