WHY LASER HAIR REDUCTION?

Break Up With Your Razor.

Laser hair reduction targets pigment in actively growing hair. Because hair grows in different stages, treatment is typically performed as a series rather than a one-time appointment.

Over time, appropriate treatment can progressively reduce unwanted hair and the amount of routine hair-removal maintenance needed.

Shaving

Temporary removal with frequent upkeep and potential razor irritation.

Waxing

Temporary removal that requires repeated appointments and enough regrowth before waxing.

Laser

Progressive hair reduction that targets actively growing hair follicles across a treatment series.

TIRED OF CONSTANT SHAVING?

Razor Bumps & Ingrown Hair Concerns.

Frequent shaving can contribute to irritation and may aggravate concerns with ingrown hairs for some clients. By progressively reducing eligible unwanted hair, laser hair reduction may help decrease how often the area needs to be shaved. Your consultation will determine whether laser hair reduction is appropriate for you.

02

Assessment

Evaluate hair and skin characteristics and determine whether treatment is appropriate.

03

Treatment

The treatment area is systematically treated using the selected laser approach.

04

The student and educator assess the treatment response and document clinical findings.

05

Aftercare

Review post-treatment instructions and recommendations for your next appointment.

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

Shave. Don't Wax or Tweeze.

Laser hair reduction relies on pigment associated with the hair follicle. Waxing, tweezing, and other methods that remove hair from the follicle can interfere with treatment.

Shave the Area

Follow the preparation instructions provided for your specific treatment area.

Avoid Waxing & Tweezing

Do not remove the hair from the follicle before your laser treatment series.

Discuss Sun Exposure

Recent tanning or significant sun exposure may affect treatment eligibility.

Review Medications

Tell us about medications, supplements, and topical products during consultation.

Avoid Self-Tanner

Self-tanning products can affect skin assessment and may require treatment to be postponed.

Arrive With Clean Skin

Follow any instructions provided regarding lotions, deodorant, makeup, or products on the treatment area.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Our Student Spa Experience.

Altruistic Academy's Student Spa is a supervised clinical learning environment. Laser hair reduction services are performed by students as part of their hands-on education.

Appointments may take longer than services performed in a traditional spa or laser clinic because consultation, documentation, educator review, and clinical assessment are part of the student's training.

Treatment eligibility, wavelength selection, treatment parameters, and service availability depend on consultation, skin and hair characteristics, contraindications, recent sun exposure, training level, and educator approval.

LASER HAIR REDUCTION FAQ

Before You Book.

How many laser hair reduction treatments will I need?

Hair grows in cycles, and laser is most effective on hair that is in an appropriate active-growth phase. Most clients therefore require a series of treatments rather than one appointment. Your treatment plan will depend on the area, hair characteristics, skin type, response, and individual goals.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

We describe the service as laser hair reduction because the goal is progressive long-term reduction in unwanted hair. Individual response varies, and maintenance treatments may be appropriate for some clients.

Can all skin tones receive laser hair reduction?

Laser selection and treatment parameters depend on individual skin and hair characteristics. The Candela GentleMax Pro includes both Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths, allowing treatment options to be considered across a broad range of appropriate candidates. Consultation is required.

Can gray, white, or very light hair be treated?

Laser hair reduction relies on pigment within the hair. Hair with little or no pigment may not respond effectively to laser treatment. During consultation, we can discuss whether laser or another hair-removal method may be more appropriate.

Why can't I wax or tweeze before treatment?

Waxing and tweezing remove hair from the follicle. Laser treatment requires an appropriate target within the follicle, which is why shaving is generally used instead during a laser hair-reduction series.
