Laser Hair Removal Before & Afters
Eliminate hair from virtually anywhere on your body.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target hair follicles, reducing or eliminating hair growth in treated areas. Unlike electrolysis hair removal, which sends an electric current through the hair down to the follicle, laser hair removal uses pigment within the hairs to conduct the laser’s thermal energy directly into the hair follicles. Laser hair removal allows you to effectively and precisely target unwanted hair without damaging surrounding tissues.
Confident & Care-Free

The Advanced Technology Behind Laser Hair Removal
At Kucumber Skin Lounge, we utilize cutting-edge 1064 YAG and Alexandrite lasers for our laser hair removal treatments. These technologies are considered the gold standard in the industry, offering safe and effective hair removal for a wide range of skin tones and hair types.
- 1064 YAG Laser: This wavelength is ideal for treating darker skin tones, as it penetrates deeply into the skin while bypassing the pigment in the epidermis. It ensures precise targeting of hair follicles without causing damage to surrounding tissues, making it safe and effective for those with melanin-rich skin.
- Alexandrite Laser: Known for its efficacy on lighter skin tones, the Alexandrite laser operates at a wavelength that is highly absorbed by melanin in the hair shaft. This allows for fast, efficient treatment of finer, lighter hair on fairer skin, providing outstanding results with minimal discomfort.
By combining these two advanced laser systems, we can customize treatments to suit your unique skin and hair type, ensuring optimal results for every client. This dual-technology approach allows us to safely and effectively treat areas of all sizes and sensitivities, from the underarms to larger areas like the legs or back.
How Our Dual-Wavelength Lasers Work
Both the 1064 YAG and Alexandrite lasers use concentrated light energy to target hair follicles:
- Melanin Absorption: The lasers emit specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair, converting light energy into heat.
- Follicle Disruption: The heat damages the hair follicle, preventing or significantly reducing its ability to produce new hair.
- Skin Protection: The advanced systems include cooling mechanisms to protect the surrounding skin, ensuring a comfortable and safe experience for all clients.
This tailored technology allows us to treat nearly any skin tone or hair type with precision and care, giving you smoother skin and longer-lasting results.
Your Ideal Solution to Unwanted Hair
Your Laser Hair Removal Consultation
Your specialist will assess your basic medical history and skin condition and discuss your treatment goals. Based on your individual concerns, we will create a personalized treatment plan for the elimination of the targeted hair.
The energy of our laser works on hair pigment, much like the sun is absorbed by darker colors. So, laser hair removal is ideal for people with darker hair. The laser operates in the near-infrared wavelength, selectively damaging the follicles for a significant reduction of targeted hairs.
During Your Treatment
Your Laser Hair Removal Procedure
During the session, you may feel a series of snaps against your skin, similar to a “rubber band snap.” A topical numbing agent can be applied to make the treatment more comfortable. Redness and mild skin sensitivity can be expected after each treatment, with symptoms resolving, usually within an hour. You can expect to see the treated hairs fall off over the next one to three weeks.
What to Expect After Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal Results, Recovery, and Aftercare
The laser hair removal treatment can only target active hair follicles. Since there is no method to discern the growth cycle of individual hair follicles, the procedure must be repeated multiple times over a period of months. Patients see improved results with each successive treatment. It is important to attend all scheduled treatment sessions to see the highest degree of hair removal. Skipping appointments can result in requiring additional laser hair removal treatments. Extensive evidence confirms that long-term hair removal is achieved when two to five additional treatments are staggered to account for the growth cycles.
In just a few short treatments, you can achieve long-lasting smoothness and confidence.

Laser Hair Removal Frequently Asked Questions
While laser hair removal permanently damages hair follicles, you may need to undergo maintenance treatments to achieve the best possible long-term results.
Multiple sessions are needed to ensure each hair is treated during its growth phase. Sometimes, without a full course of treatment, some hair follicles may be missed during this phase, increasing the chances of regrowth.
