Unwanted facial and body hair can be a source of frustration and embarrassment, both for men and women with various hair color, including dark hair. Shaving, waxing, and even using a rubber band technique may provide temporary relief, but too soon the hair will return. Laser Hair Removal services offer a solution. Laser Hair Removal is a noninvasive procedure designed to offer permanent hair reduction from anywhere on the body; most commonly the back, neck, legs, underarms, face, and bikini line.
The Ideal Laser Hair Removal Candidate
Men or women of any age, frustrated by the appearance of hair on their face, neck, or body, can make an excellent candidate for Hair Removal. Especially those with light skin and light hair or even darker skin tones, as advancements in technology have expanded the range of suitable candidates. Patients should be in generally good health, clearly understand the effects of laser hair, have realistic expectations for their results, and be willing to commit to multiple treatments.

Sharon made me feel comfortable as I was nervous about the laser hair removal procedure. She walked me thru it and before I knew.. we were done. She also did an email follow up to see how I was feeling after the procedure. Excellent customer service and Sharon was just wonderful.
Real Patient Review
Laser Hair Removal Procedure
The Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique uses an advanced hair removal system that is gentle to the skin and highly efficient, allowing patients to shave both prior and between treatments. The procedure is virtually a painless solution; laser energy is delivered through a small hand piece that includes a comfortable cooling tip, continuously soothing the skin. With each quick pulse of the laser light, only a mild sensation will be felt, so no anesthesia is required during the treatment.
A laser hair treatment session will normally take 30 minutes or less, depending on the size of the area being treated. Six to eight separate treatments, based on a custom treatment plan, will be required to fully remove the hair growth.
Each session should be spaced about four weeks apart. Since only the hair in the active growth phase is effected by the laser, the repeat treatments are necessary to address every follicle.
Laser Hair Removal at a Glance:
- Hair on the face and body has three growth stages:
- Anagen – growth
- Catagen – transition
- Telogen – resting phase
- The Individual hairs are growing at different rates, and are in multiple phases, at all times.
- The energy generated from a laser treatment will travel down the hair, damaging the follicle and permanently preventing further hair growth.
- Only hair in the Anagen (active growth) phase is affected by the laser treatment.
- Six to eight treatments are required to address all of the hair in a targeted area.
- Results may vary and can be seen in just two weeks, as the hair slowly begins to fall out.
Laser Hair Removal Recovery
There is minimal recovery time required after a Laser Hair Removal session. Patients are able to return to work or school immediately. Initially, the treated area may show a bit of redness, but this will diminish over the first hour. It’s recommended to avoid direct sun exposure after the treatment to protect the sensitive area. Excessive sun exposure could potentially interfere with the treatment’s effectiveness. Results will begin to show in one to two weeks, as the hair begins to fall out, bringing joy to countless patients.
