What is It?
On its own, laser hair removal is fairly self-explanatory—it is the process of removing hair using a laser. To expand on that a bit, let’s talk about how it works.
Laser hair removal works by beaming highly concentrated light into hair follicles using a specialized laser. The hair follicles absorb the light, which effectively kills them and prevents the hair from growing back.
Laser hair removal can be performed on any part of the body where unwanted hair grows, including underarms, legs, bikini lines, arms, back, and face.
It is important to remember that laser hair removal is a medical procedure where it’s important to have a licensed professional performing the treatment. This ensures you experience quality laser hair removal in a safe way that provides the intended results. When you book with us, you receive the highest-rated laser hair removal from a reputable medical spa in Boca Raton.

As mentioned, laser hair removal should always be performed by a skilled practitioner who has experience with such procedures, like our staff at Boca Laser & Medical Spa.
Beyond this, laser hair removal is absolutely safe and non-invasive, allowing you to have your treatment and resume your everyday activities.
Having said that, you can expect to have some redness and swelling after the procedure, similar to what you might expect after a sunburn. This will quickly subside, but we do recommend wearing sunscreen over your whole body after a treatment to prevent any permanent color changes to your skin.
Notable side effects are more commonly seen in darker skin tones. If you have any concerns or questions, we’re always available to provide guidance prior to your appointment.
What to Expect
Unfortunately, there are some common misconceptions surrounding laser hair removal that we would like to clear up before your appointment.
Namely, it is important for prospective clients to understand that laser hair removal does not provide permanent results. While this procedure will significantly reduce the amount of hair growth and can provide several years of hair-free skin, you will likely need a handful of maintenance appointments to achieve lasting results.
On that note, it’s also important to mention that after your first appointment, you will still have hair. Hair loss isn’t immediate, and it takes multiple rounds of laser treatment to fully kill the follicles. How many rounds are required varies from client to client.
If you’re looking to achieve hair-free skin while also saving time, energy, and money, laser hair removal is the ideal treatment for you. Performed by professionals who are skilled in working with laser technology, your search for laser hair removal near you ends today!
