Hair Happens. Let’s Handle It.

Seattle, Bellingham, and Bellevue Body & Facial Hair Treatment at Kucumber Skin Lounge

The constant shaving. The waxing appointments that never seem to last. The stray hairs that show up between your brows, along your jawline, or right before something important. For some people, it's a few patches that bother them. For others, it's a daily battle with razors, bumps, and irritation. Whatever your version looks like, you're probably tired of managing it.

At Kucumber Skin Lounge, we offer long-term solutions that help you spend less time dealing with hair and more time enjoying your skin. Our laser hair removal treatments are tailored to your body, your skin, and your goals, whether you're looking to smooth a small area or simplify your whole routine.

Smooth Starts Here

Removing Unwanted Body & Facial Hair

Hair grows on nearly every inch of your body, and while that's completely normal, it doesn't always align with how you want to look or feel. Hormonal changes, aging, certain medications, and even birth control pills or oral contraceptives can affect hair growth, especially for women. At Kucumber, we offer treatment options that go beyond temporary fixes:

  • Laser Hair Removal: This significantly reduces the number of hairs that can become ingrown by eliminating the problem at the root, the hair follicle.
  • Chemical Peels and VI Peels: These exfoliating treatments remove dead skin, reduce inflammation, and treat related skin concerns like acne, scarring, and pigmentation.
  • Soothing Gels and Lotions: Applied after treatment to calm irritation and reduce discomfort.

Whether you're tired of shaving, plucking, or trying every cream, gel, or waxing kit on the market, our treatments offer a lasting option that leaves skin softer and smoother after just a few sessions.

Break the Cycle, Not Your Skin

Treating Ingrown Hair

Ingrown hairs develop when hair grows back into the skin instead of out through the surface. This can lead to painful, red bumps, especially after shaving or waxing. Common areas for ingrowns include the bikini line, neck, and chin. People with curly or coarse hair are especially prone to this issue.

By combining laser technology with skin-nourishing chemical peels, gels, and lotions, we can help prevent hair from growing in problematic patterns and keep your skin looking smooth and healthy.

Shave Less, Live More

Treating Unwanted Body Hair

Unwanted body hair can appear on the back, chest, arms, legs, or stomach. Whether it's genetics, hormonal shifts, or simply preference, many people seek a way to reduce or completely remove hair in these areas.

Laser hair removal treatments are highly effective for larger areas of the body. Each pulse of laser light targets the pigment inside the hair, heating it to safely disable the follicle. For many clients, results can last up to six months or longer, with just occasional touch-ups needed.

Other traditional hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, and plucking provide short-term results but often cause skin irritation, scarring, or leave behind stray hairs. Laser offers a longer-lasting alternative, without the mess, the nicks, or the burn.

When You’re Over the Tweezers

Treating Unwanted Facial Hair

Facial hair shows up in different ways for different people, like fine hair above the lip, a few wiry strands on the chin, or thicker patches along the jawline or sideburns. For some, it's genetic. For others, it's tied to hormonal shifts, certain medications, or conditions like hirsutism. Whatever the reason, facial hair can be frustrating, especially when it feels like you're constantly tweezing, waxing, or covering it up.

Laser hair removal offers a longer-term fix. It's gentle enough for the face but strong enough to target unwanted growth at the follicle, reducing the need for constant maintenance. Treatments are fast, precise, and designed to minimize irritation, so you can skip the tweezers, skip the wax, and just enjoy smoother skin.

If You Shave, This Could Be For You

Body & Facial Hair Treatment Candidates

You may be a great candidate for laser hair removal if you:

  • Want to reduce or remove unwanted hair in specific areas
  • Struggle with ingrown hairs or post-shave bumps
  • Prefer a smoother appearance on the body or face
  • Have experienced skin issues from shaving, plucking, or overuse of depilatory creams

Treatment is generally safe for all adults, but may not be suitable if you're pregnant, have very light-colored hair, are taking photosensitizing medications, or have a history of allergic reaction to lasers or topical anesthetics. During your consultation, we'll review your full health history to determine the safest, most effective treatment options for you.

Get Ready For Smooth Skin

Consultation and Preparation

During your consultation, our team will:

  • Assess your skin, hair type, and medical history
  • Discuss your lifestyle and goals
  • Create a tailored plan for several sessions, if needed
  • Perform a patch test to check for skin reaction

To prepare for your session:

  • Avoid tanning and sun exposure for at least four weeks
  • Wash and shave the area one to two days before treatment (but don't pluck or apply wax)
  • Stop using retinol, acids, or other active products a few days before your visit
  • Skip heavy makeup, oils, or lotion on the day of your appointment

Our goal is to make sure your skin is in the best possible condition to get the most out of every session.

Light, Skin, Action

The Body & Facial Hair Treatment Process

Here’s what to expect:

  • We cleanse and prep the area with a gel or numbing cream, depending on your comfort level.
  • A technician will use a medical-grade laser device to deliver pulses of light to each hair follicle.
  • For facial treatments or sensitive areas, we take extra care to reduce discomfort.
  • A cooling serum is applied afterward to calm the skin.

Laser hair removal doesn't involve inserting probes or using a tiny needle like electrolysis does. It's faster, less invasive, and ideal for treating multiple hairs at once, especially on larger areas of the body like the legs or back.

Soothe, Heal, Repeat

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

You may see some hair shedding in the days after your first session, with visible results building over time. Most clients notice a significant reduction in hair growth after several sessions, with full results typically achieved in six to eight treatments. Aftercare includes:

  • Avoiding heat (hot showers, saunas) for 48 hours
  • Applying aloe or soothing lotion
  • Wearing SPF daily to prevent scarring or pigmentation
  • Skipping other hair removal methods (no plucking, waxing, or depilatories between sessions)

Laser hair removal offers results that can last up to six months or more, especially when paired with proper maintenance and skincare.
