What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light to target and destroy hair follicles. The pigment in the follicles absorbs the light, which converts to heat and damages the follicle, inhibiting future hair growth. This process is effective for reducing unwanted hair on various areas of the body.
Your Laser Hair Removal Journey
Our laser hair removal process is designed for comfort and effectiveness. Each session is relatively quick, depending on the size of the treatment area. A series of treatments is typically required to capture hair follicles in different growth phases, ensuring comprehensive and long-lasting smoothness.
Preparing for Your Treatment
Your Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a private consultation with one of our specialists at Rewind Aesthetics. We will assess your skin and hair type, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if you are a suitable candidate. This is the perfect time to ask any questions you have about the process.
Pre-Treatment Care
To ensure optimal results, we ask that you avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and spray tans for several weeks before your appointment. You should also refrain from waxing, plucking, or electrolysis, as the laser targets the hair’s root, which must be present.
The Day of Your Session
On the day of your treatment, please arrive with clean skin, free of any lotions, oils, or deodorants in the area to be treated. We will ask you to shave the area 24 hours prior to your session to allow the laser to effectively target the follicles beneath the skin’s surface.
During Your Laser Hair Removal Session
During Your Appointment
When you arrive for your appointment, we will ensure you are comfortable and provide you with protective eyewear. Your provider will then adjust the laser equipment to the specific settings customized for your skin tone and hair color.
Applying the Laser Energy
Your provider will use a handheld device to deliver precise pulses of light to the target area. You may feel a sensation often described as a warm snap, similar to a rubber band against the skin. Our technology includes cooling features to enhance your comfort throughout the procedure.
Treating the Target Area
The provider will methodically move the device across the treatment area to ensure complete coverage. The duration of the session depends on the size of the area; smaller areas like the underarms may take only a few minutes, while larger areas like the legs will take longer.
Concluding Your Treatment
Once the treatment area has been fully addressed, the session is complete. We will apply a soothing lotion to the skin if needed and provide you with post-treatment care instructions. You can then immediately return to your daily activities.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs
Most patients require a series of 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve significant hair reduction. This is because the laser is most effective when hair is in its active growth phase, and multiple treatments are needed to target all follicles.
Patients typically describe the sensation as a quick, warm snap. Our advanced laser systems have integrated cooling technology to minimize discomfort during the procedure, making it a well-tolerated treatment for most people.
Modern laser technology has made hair removal effective for a wider range of skin tones. However, the treatment works best on individuals with darker hair and lighter skin, as the laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle. A consultation will determine if you are a good candidate.
We can safely and effectively treat most areas of the body. Common treatment areas include the face, underarms, bikini line, legs, back, and chest.
There is typically no downtime required after laser hair removal. You can return to your normal daily activities immediately, though we advise avoiding direct sun exposure and strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
