Our Team Performs Laser Hair Removal in Littleton, CO
Laser hair removal is a lasting solution to unwanted hair. Artistry Skin & Hormone uses it to help our clients in Littleton, CO, achieve smooth, hair-free skin. With safe, effective treatments at our state-of-the-art clinic, you can eliminate the seemingly endless cycle of shaving, waxing, and tweezing. Let us explain the face and body hair removal processes, how they work, and what you can expect.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light to remove unwanted hair. This high-tech method targets hair follicles, the small sacs in the skin where hair grows. By damaging the follicles, the treatment stops or slows future hair growth. It can be used on many parts of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
The procedure uses a special laser hair removal machine that emits light at a specific wavelength. The hair’s pigment, or melanin, absorbs the light and turns it into heat. This heat then travels down the hair shaft to the follicle, damaging it and preventing it from producing more hair.
Because the laser targets pigment, the treatment works best on people with light skin and dark hair. The contrast makes it easier for the laser to find hair follicles without affecting the surrounding skin. However, technological advances have made laser hair removal a safe option for people with a wider range of skin and hair colors.

Advantages of Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is one of the most popular ways to eliminate unwanted hair. Here are a few reasons why:
- Precision – Lasers can target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed, making them a great choice for sensitive areas.
- Speed – Each laser pulse takes only a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs simultaneously. We can address small areas like the upper lip in less than a minute. Larger areas like the back or legs take as little as one hour.
- Long-Lasting Results – While some people may need occasional touch-up sessions, most experience significant, long-term hair reduction after only a few treatments.
Who Can Benefit from Laser Hair Removal?
Almost anyone struggling with unwanted body hair is a good candidate for this treatment. Our experts at Artistry Skin & Hormone can assess your skin and hair type to determine if laser hair removal is appropriate, but it’s usually a great option if you:
- Want to reduce the time you spend shaving or waxing.
- Experience skin irritation or ingrown hairs from other hair removal methods.
- Are you looking for a more permanent solution for smooth skin on your face, legs, or other areas?
What to Expect Before and After Treatment
Proper preparation and aftercare are key to getting the best results from your laser hair removal sessions.
- Pre-Treatment Guidelines:
Before your appointment, you should avoid plucking, waxing, and electrolysis for six weeks. These actions can remove the hair root that the laser needs to target. You should also stay out of the sun, as sun exposure can make the treatment less effective and increase the risk of complications. Shaving is okay and is actually recommended the day before your treatment.
- Aftercare Tips:
After your session, your skin might look and feel sunburned for a day or two. Cool compresses and moisturizers can help. Over the following month, the treated hair will fall out. It’s important to wear sunscreen to protect the skin from the sun.
Laser Hair Removal FAQ
We’ll answer any questions you have about laser hair removal. Some of the most frequent ones we hear include:
Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction. We aim to permanently eliminate 90% of it, but some people may need maintenance sessions once or twice a year. Regardless, you’ll see a significant decrease in hair growth.
Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?
Most people describe the sensation as a quick, warm snap, similar to a rubber band hitting the skin. We’ll use a chilling device called a Zimmer to provide relief. None of our clients has been unable to tolerate the discomfort.
How Many Sessions Do I Need?
You’ll likely need six to eight sessions for the best results. Hair grows in different cycles, and the laser is most effective on hair in its active growth stage. Spacing treatments a few weeks apart helps ensure we can treat all hairs.
Are There Any Risks?
Side effects are usually minor and temporary. They can include redness, swelling, and slight discomfort. More serious risks are rare, but we’ll discuss them during your consultation.
