Women's Full Arms Laser Hair Removal

Full arm laser hair removal includes the area from the shoulder seam down to the fingertips, covering the upper arms, lower arms, elbows, wrists, and hands.

Most clients need 12–16 total treatments to achieve optimal long-term hair reduction. You’ll typically start seeing a 20-30% reduction in hair growth after 4 sessions, with hair growing back finer and slower as treatments continue.

Treatments are spaced every 6–8 weeks. Most clients start closer to 6 weeks between sessions and move to 8 weeks toward the end of their treatment plan.

• Hands only: Approximately 5 minutes of treatment time, with a brief transition period.
• Half Arms: Typically 10 minutes, depending on hair density.
• Full Arms: Usually 10 minutes
• All appointments also have a 5 minute transition time allowance for setup.

Many clients notice a 20-30% reduction after 4 treatments. Full results develop gradually as you complete the recommended series.

Laser hair removal is not technically permanent, but it provides 70–90% long-lasting hair reduction that can last for years if you receive consistent treatments at the recommended amount. Some regrowth is normal, and occasional touch-up treatments help maintain results.

Laser targets pigment in the hair follicle, so it works best on dark, coarse hair. Blonde, red, white, or very light hair cannot be treated because the laser cannot detect enough pigment.

The laser targets pigment in hair follicles during the active growth phase (anagen). Heat from the laser reduces the follicle’s ability to regrow hair. Because not all hairs are in the same growth phase at once, multiple sessions are required.

• Shave the treatment area 12–24 hours before your appointment (no closer).
• Avoid waxing, tweezing, or hair removal creams for several weeks prior.
• Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, or self-tanner for at least 3 weeks before treatment.
• Do not apply lotions, oils, creams, or self-tanners on the day of treatment.

• Wait at least 2 hours before showering using lukewarm or cool water.
• Wait 2 hours before resuming workouts.
• Avoid hot showers, hot tubs, steam rooms, seat heaters, and tight clothing for 24–48 hours.
• Apply fragrance-free lotion or restorative gel as recommended.
• Redness or small bumps are normal histamine reactions and usually fade within 24–72 hours.
• Use sunscreen consistently throughout your treatment plan.
