What it is

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to disable hair follicles by targeting the melanin in the hair shaft. It’s the most effective long-term hair reduction method available.

At MODE we offer laser hair removal across the most-requested facial and body areas. Pricing is per-area, and we recommend a starting series of 6-12 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by annual maintenance.

MechanismLight energy targets melanin in hair follicle; follicle is disabled
Best forDarker hair on any skin tone (technology has advanced significantly)
Series length6-12 sessions typical for primary reduction

The protocol

A deliberate sequence — not a one-time visit.

Consult

Hair color, skin type, and medical history reviewed. Hormonal conditions (PCOS, thyroid) affect expected results — we’ll discuss realistic outcomes.

Pre-treatment

Shave the area within 24 hours before treatment — laser needs hair below the surface, not on top. Avoid waxing, plucking, and sun exposure for 2 weeks prior.

Treatment

15-45 minutes depending on area. Cooling sapphire tip delivers pulsed light. Sensation: warm rubber-band snap. Topical numbing available.

Recovery

Mild redness 1-24 hours. Treated hairs “shed” over 7-14 days — they appear to regrow but are actually being pushed out. Normal activity same day.

Series

Sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Hair is treatable only in active growth phase (anagen) — the spacing ensures we catch multiple hair cycles.

Questions

What patients often ask.

How many sessions until I see results?+

You’ll see reduction after the first 2-3 sessions. Full primary reduction requires 6-12 sessions. Individual response varies with hair color, density, and hormones.

Does it work on light or gray hair?+

Limited. Laser targets melanin, so blonde, red, white, and gray hairs don’t respond well. For those hairs, electrolysis is the alternative (not offered at MODE — refer to a specialist).

Does it hurt?+

Described as a rubber-band snap — warm and brief. Sensitive areas like bikini can sting more. Topical numbing cream is available for particularly sensitive patients.

Can I wax between sessions?+

No — waxing removes the hair root that the laser needs to target. Between sessions, shave only. Tweezing and threading also off-limits.

How do I know if it’s right for me?+

Schedule a consult — we’ll review your hair color, skin type, and medical history, set realistic expectations, and confirm whether laser hair removal is the right fit before booking your first session.

Who performs LHR at MODE?+

Heather Cyr, LME, CLT and Sara Espinoza, LME, CLT — both certified laser technicians.
