whatSHOULD I DO FOR PRE-TREATMENT CARE?

	We recommend daily use of our Restorative Gel to prepare your skin for laser treatments. It is naturally formulated to expedite cellular turnover, hydrate skin, and reduce skin sensitivity and irritation.
	Avoid sun exposure greater than 30 minutes (in the span of 1–3 weeks, depending on the instructions given by your laser technician), even if wearing sunscreen.
	Avoid tanning beds and sunless tanning products 3 weeks prior to your treatment to prevent adverse reactions.
	The treatment area must be clean-shaven 12–24 hours before your treatment. Unshaven clients will be rescheduled. Shaving services are not provided in the clinics.
	Avoid physical activities that raise your body temperature for at least 2 hours before treatment. Stay away from hot showers, saunas, and hot tubs, etc., as heat can worsen histamine reactions and increase swelling.
	Skin must be clean and free of makeup, moisturizers, lotions, oils, deodorant, numbing cream, etc. Products on the skin can increase the likelihood of adverse reactions from the laser.
	Skin that is sunburned, hot to the touch, peeling, or otherwise damaged cannot be treated, and you will be rescheduled based on the instructions given by your laser technician.
	Gently exfoliate the treated area(s) two to three times a week. This helps remove dead skin and keeps your hair follicles clear, which gets your skin ready for your next treatment.
	Any topical or oral medications must be reviewed by Simplicity Laser to determine if they may cause photosensitivity. If so, your appointment may need to be rescheduled. We recommend calling our care team before your appointment to confirm eligibility.

whatSHOULD SHOULD I DO AFTER MY LASER HAIR REMOVAL APPOINTMENT?

	Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for 14 days post-treatment. Careful sun exposure of no more than 30 minutes may be resumed 14 days post-treatment with daily use of Zinc Oxide sunscreen (SPF 30+).
	Avoid physical activities that raise your body temperature for at least 2 hours after treatment. Stay away from hot showers, saunas, and hot tubs, etc., as heat can worsen histamine reactions and increase swelling on treated skin.
	We recommend daily use of our Restorative Gel to calm and restore your skin after laser treatments. It is naturally formulated to expedite cellular healing, hydrate skin, and reduce skin sensitivity and irritation.
	Mild redness and swelling of the hair follicles may occur (histamine reaction). This is normal and should lessen with time. Avoid itching or scratching the skin. A cool cloth or cool compress may be applied. Never apply ice directly to the skin.
	If redness, swelling, or itching continues, taking an over-the-counter antihistamine (Benadryl, Zyrtec, or Claritin) can help reduce histamine-related itching and redness. Please consult with your primary care provider before taking this medication.
	Gently exfoliate the area(s) two to three times a week. This helps the hair shed from the follicle after treatment, prevents ingrown hairs, and preps the follicles for your next session.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Effective Is Laser Hair Removal?

Tired of the constant upkeep of shaving or waxing and longing for smoother skin? At Simplicity Laser, we’re proud to deliver real, lasting results. With our Simple Promise Treatment Programs, most clients see a 70 to 90 percent reduction in unwanted body hair. We also offer a range of other programs designed to suit different needs and hair reduction goals.

Your individual progress may vary depending on factors like hair color, skin tone, hormonal activity, medical conditions, hair thickness, and how your hair responds to treatment. We use the industry’s most advanced laser technology to treat all skin tones and most hair types. However, please note that red, blonde, and gray hair cannot be treated. Our expert team will guide you every step of the way to help you achieve the best possible results for your unique needs.

What Should I Expect From Treatment?

After laser hair removal, you may notice temporary redness or swelling caused by a natural histamine response. This is normal and typically fades within 24–72 hours. While it can be a sign that the laser is effectively targeting hair follicles, it’s not required for the treatment to work. Around 7–21 days after treatment, treated hairs may begin to shed; this is not regrowth, but your body releasing treated hairs. Regrowth between sessions is expected and doesn’t mean the treatment failed; it simply reflects the hair’s natural growth cycle. With consistent treatments spaced every 6–8 weeks, hair becomes finer, sparser, and slower to return. To support results and reduce irritation or ingrowns, gently exfoliate 2–3 times a week, wear loose clothing, and apply Simplicity Laser’s Restorative Gel daily to help calm the skin and prevent buildup as your hair sheds.

What Does It Feel Like?

Does laser hair removal hurt? While it isn’t completely pain-free, most people find it much more comfortable than waxing. It’s often described as a quick snap of a rubber band against the skin and is over in seconds. Everyone’s sensitivity is different, but the majority of our clients handle treatments with ease. To help keep you comfortable, we use the Zimmer machine, which delivers a steady stream of cool air to calm the skin during treatment.

What Body Parts And Areas Can I Get Treated?

At Simplicity Laser, we offer full-body laser hair removal for both men and women. Women often choose areas like the upper lip, underarms, bikini line, and legs, while popular areas for men include the back of the neck, back, chest, and abdomen. Our experienced team is trained to treat nearly any area with thick, dark, coarse hair, as long as it is not red, blonde, white, or gray. Treatments are always customized to your unique skin and hair type, as well as your preferences, for the most effective results.

Can I Get Treated?

Most people are great candidates for laser hair removal. As long as you are not pregnant, undergoing IVF, or managing certain medical conditions such as epilepsy, lupus, or cancer, you’re likely eligible. You should also avoid treatment if you're taking any medications that cause photosensitivity.

We are unable to treat over tattoos or permanent makeup. If the tattoo is small, we’ll tape it off and treat around it; if it covers most of the area, treatment may not be possible. Laser hair removal is also not effective on red, blonde, white, or gray hair. However, if you have thick, dark, coarse hair in any area, we can likely treat it. Our team will work with you to ensure your safety and develop a treatment plan that fits your specific needs.

START WITH Aconsultation

Before starting your laser hair removal journey, you’ll have a phone consult with one of our qualified and experienced professionals to find the treatment program that fits your specific needs. This step allows us to assess your skin type, hair color, and overall goals.
