Ready to experience smoother, hair-free skin?
My hair colorist saw me blow drying my hair with my arms above my head at my last appointment and she approached me to take a closer look. She said that she was looking at my underarms and asked me if I had laser hair removal. I told her about my experience and I then realized how completely satisfied I was with my results!

Using our state-of-the-art Candela GentleMax laser treatments, we target your hair follicles to reduce hair growth over time. Laser hair removal can significantly diminish hair growth, especially when your hairs are in their active growth phase (anagen phase). Typically, each session can reduce hair growth by about 10% to 25%, so we often recommend multiple treatments to achieve the best results.
