Tired of the endless cycle of shaving, waxing, and plucking? At Skinovation Esthetics, our advanced laser hair removal treatments offer a long-lasting solution for unwanted hair. Experience the freedom of smooth skin without the daily maintenance, ingrown hairs, or irritation of traditional hair removal methods.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated light energy to target and disable hair follicles. The laser emits a specific wavelength that is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle, converting to heat that damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth—all while protecting the surrounding skin.
At Skinovation Esthetics, we utilize state-of-the-art laser technology that is safe, effective, and customizable for different skin tones and hair types, ensuring optimal results with maximum comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal provides long-lasting hair reduction. Most clients experience permanent hair reduction of 70-90% after completing a full series of treatments. Some maintenance sessions may be needed, particularly in hormonal areas.
Is laser hair removal painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as a rubber band snap or warm pinch. Our advanced technology includes cooling systems to maximize comfort. Topical numbing cream is available for sensitive areas if needed.
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients need 6-8 treatments for optimal results, though this can vary based on hair color, skin tone, and treatment area. Hair grows in cycles, and the laser is only effective on hairs in the active growth phase, which is why multiple sessions are necessary.
Is laser hair removal safe for all skin tones?
Modern laser technology has made treatment safer for a wider range of skin tones than ever before. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin type and hair color to determine the most appropriate laser and settings for your needs.
What areas can be treated?
Virtually any area with unwanted hair can be treated except for around the eyes. Popular areas include the face, underarms, bikini area, legs, back, and chest.
How should I prepare for my treatment?
Avoid sun exposure for 2-4 weeks before treatment, refrain from waxing or plucking for 6 weeks prior, and shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment. During your consultation, we’ll provide a comprehensive preparation guide.
Can laser hair removal treat blonde or gray hair?
Laser hair removal is most effective on dark hair because the laser targets melanin (pigment). Very light blonde, white, or gray hair may not respond as well to treatment. During your consultation, we’ll honestly assess whether you’re an ideal candidate.
