Laser Hair Removal at New You Weight and Wellness
What is Laser Hair Removal and How Does it Work?
Laser hair removal is an excellent alternative to shaving, tweezing, and/or waxing — especially if you struggle with excessive body hair. Our laser hair removal services are fast and effective.
One of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments in the world, laser hair removal reduces unwanted body hair without causing any damage the surrounding skin. The treatment utilizes safe, precise lasers that damage the hair follicles to prevent them from growing hair.
Many patients describe the sensation of getting laser hair removal as feeling like a hot rubber band being snapped on their skin, or tiny pin prick. The feeling isn’t exactly comfortable, but any pain is minimal and very tolerable. Many lasers also emit a cooling effect to help with discomfort.

After your laser hair removal treatment, we recommend using aloe vera on any areas that may feel hot. There are a few things you should avoid to heal properly and get the best results. The things that you should avoid include:
- Extended sun exposure (for a week after treatment)
- Anything that will cause you to sweat, such as exercise, saunas, baths, etc. (for 24 hours after treatment)
- Plucking, tweezing, or waxing out any hairs that you see.
- Other skin treatments (for two weeks after treatment)
- Puncturing the skin in any way
- Hot water (for at least 24 to 48 hours after treatment)
- Makeup or perfume near the treated area (for at least 24 to 48 hours after treatment)

Every individual is different. We all have different levels of hair thickness and amount, and the type of skin you have will also play a part in how the treatment works. In general, you can expect multiple laser hair removal treatments to result in 90% to 95% hair loss.
As the hair follicles are damaged, your hair will “shed out” and grow back finer and finer until it’s essentially gone. Once this happens, most patients only need to return every two or three years for a touch-up.
