What Is it?

Laser Hair Removal at Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa uses the Gentle Max Pro, one of the most powerful and comfortable lasers on the market. It targets the pigment in the hair follicle to reduce or eliminate hair over time—no more waxing, shaving, or ingrowns!

We treat all skin types, and areas like the face, underarms, bikini, Brazilian, legs, back, chest, and more.

Who is it for?

  • Anyone tired of shaving, waxing, or dealing with ingrown hairs
  • All skin types (yes, really!)
  • Works best on dark hair (the laser needs pigment to target)

Not ideal for very light, grey, or white hair.

How many treatments?

  • Face: 6–8 sessions (every 4–6 weeks)
  • Body: 6–8 sessions (every 6–10 weeks)
  • Maintenance may be required 1–2 times per year.
  • Hormonal areas (like the face or bikini) may need more sessions.

Maintenance

  • Avoid tanning and sun exposure for 2 weeks prior
  • No self-tanner for 1 week prior
  • Skip active skincare (like acids or retinols) on the area for 3–5 days

Our Approach

How’s the Treatment?

Quick! Most sessions take 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the area.
Minimal downtime: You may experience some redness or mild swelling, especially in sensitive areas, but it typically fades within a few hours.
Results? Hair will start to shed over the next 7–14 days, and each session leads to less regrowth and finer, softer hair. You’ll notice smoother skin after every visit!

Frequently Asked Questions

Laser Hair Removal Q&A

The Gentle Max Pro laser system is a leading choice for laser hair removal because it combines two fast and powerful lasers: the Alexandrite for lighter skin tones and the Nd:YAG for darker skin tones. This versatility allows for safe and effective treatment across all skin types, ensuring superior results with minimal discomfort and downtime..

Yes, laser hair removal is generally more effective than Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments. While IPL covers larger areas and can be effective for some cosmetic procedures, laser technology is more precise and can selectively target hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin. This precision leads to better results in fewer sessions.

The cost of laser hair removal can vary based on several factors, including the size of the treatment area, the number of sessions needed, and the clinic’s location. Typically, prices range from $100 to $400 per session. At Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa, we provide a detailed cost breakdown during your initial consultation, tailored to your specific treatment plan.

Small Areas: $150/session
Medium Areas: $250/session
Large Areas: $350/session
Packages Available: Save 20% when you book a package of 6 sessions.

Laser hair removal can significantly reduce hair growth, to the point where you can enjoy long-lasting smoothness. While labeled as “permanent reduction,” some hair may regrow over time, particularly due to hormonal changes or individual hair growth cycles. Periodic maintenance treatments can help manage this regrowth.

The sensation of laser hair removal is often compared to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Most clients find it quite tolerable. The Gentle Max Pro laser also features a cooling mechanism that helps soothe the skin immediately after each laser pulse, enhancing comfort during the treatment.

Yes, when performed by certified professionals using the right equipment, laser hair removal is very safe. The Gentle Max Pro system is FDA-approved and has a proven track record of safety and efficacy. Our trained technicians at Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa ensure that all safety protocols are followed to provide a secure and effective treatment experience.

The number of sessions required for effective laser hair removal varies depending on the area treated, hair density, and individual hair growth cycles. Most clients require between 4 to 8 sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve significant hair reduction..

To prepare for your laser hair removal session, avoid plucking, waxing, and electrolysis for six weeks prior to treatment, as these can disturb the hair follicle. Shave the area 24 to 48 hours before your session, avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks, and do not apply any creams, lotions, or makeup on the day of your treatment.

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated laser beams to target and destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. The laser emits a light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, which then heats up and damages the follicle. This treatment is effective on most parts of the body, including the legs, arms, face, underarms, and bikini area

What to Expect

Because we are all curious!

  • Avoid Sun Exposure
    Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning (including self-tanners) for at least 2-4 weeks before your appointment. Laser works best on untanned skin, and sun exposure can increase the risk of complications.
  • Shave the Treatment Area
    Shave the area 24 hours before your appointment. The laser targets hair follicles beneath the skin, so the hair should be short but visible under the surface.
  • Skip Other Hair Removal Methods
    Avoid waxing, plucking, or using hair removal creams for at least 4 weeks before your session. These methods remove the hair root, which the laser needs to target.
  • Avoid Skin Irritants
    Stop using skincare products with harsh ingredients (like retinoids, AHAs, and BHAs) on the treatment area 3-5 days before your appointment to avoid irritation.
  • No Bleaching
    If you normally bleach the hair in the area to be treated, stop doing so at least 2 weeks before. The laser needs to detect the pigment in the hair to be effective
  • Wear Loose, Comfortable Clothing
    Choose loose clothing for your appointment to avoid irritation in the treated area afterward.
  • Clean the Treatment Area
    Make sure the area is clean and free of lotions, creams, deodorants, or makeup right before your session. This ensures the laser works effectively.
  • Discuss Medications
    Let your technician know if you’re on any medications, especially antibiotics or acne treatments, as they can increase skin sensitivity to the laser.

  • Skin and Hair Assessment
    Your technician will assess your skin type, hair color, and texture to determine if you’re an ideal candidate for laser hair removal. Different lasers may be used depending on these factors.
  • Medical History Review
    Expect to discuss your medical history, including any medications you’re taking, skin conditions, or recent tanning. This helps ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you.
  • Treatment Plan Discussion
    The technician will explain how many sessions you’ll need based on the area you want treated, your hair growth cycle, and your skin type. Typically, it takes 6-8 sessions for optimal results.
  • Pre-Treatment Instructions
    You’ll be given specific pre-care instructions, like avoiding sun exposure and stopping certain skincare products, to prepare for your treatment.
  • Pricing and Packages
    You’ll get an overview of the cost of treatments, any available packages, and how long each session will take. The technician can help you plan out a schedule that fits your lifestyle.
  • Questions and Concerns
    This is your time to ask questions! Your technician will answer any concerns about pain, downtime, and expected results so you can feel confident going into the treatment.

  • Preparation of the Area
    Your technician will clean the area and make sure it’s prepped for the laser. You may also be asked to wear protective eyewear during the session.
  • Laser Application
    The laser will be applied to the treatment area in short pulses. You may feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snap, but the cooling features of the laser will help ease any discomfort.
  • Slight Redness or Swelling
    After treatment, it’s normal to experience mild redness or swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually fades within a few hours.
  • Duration of Treatment
    Each session typically lasts anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area (e.g., upper lip versus full legs).
  • Post-Treatment Care Instructions
    You’ll be given post-care tips, like avoiding sun exposure, heat, and exfoliating the treated area. The technician may also recommend soothing products to calm the skin.
  • Schedule Follow-Up Treatments
    Laser hair removal works best in a series of sessions, so you’ll likely schedule your next treatment before you leave. Sessions are usually spaced 4-12 weeks apart.

  • Mild Redness and Swelling
    It’s normal to experience some redness and slight swelling in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. This should subside within a few hours to a day.
  • Slight Skin Sensitivity
    Your skin may feel sensitive or tender for a day or two post-treatment. Be gentle with the treated area and avoid excessive rubbing or scratching.
  • Hair Shedding
    In the days and weeks following your treatment, you may notice the hair in the treated area slowly shedding. This is normal and part of the process. It can take 1-3 weeks for the hairs to fall out completely.
  • Avoid Sun Exposure
    Protect the treated area from direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks after treatment. Sunburn can irritate the skin and increase the risk of pigmentation changes. If you must be outside, apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen.
  • Skip Hot Showers and Saunas
    For 24-48 hours post-treatment, avoid hot showers, saunas, or any heat-based activities that may cause irritation. Stick to cool or lukewarm water for bathing.
  • No Exfoliation
    Avoid scrubs, exfoliating products, or harsh skincare ingredients (like retinoids or AHAs) for 4-5 days after treatment. These can irritate your sensitive skin.
  • Moisturize
    Keep the treated area moisturized using a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to soothe the skin and aid healing. Aloe vera gel or calming creams may be recommended by your technician.
  • No Tanning or Self-Tanner
    Steer clear of tanning beds, sunbathing, or applying self-tanner for at least two weeks after your treatment. These can cause hyperpigmentation in the treated areas.
  • Avoid Plucking or Waxing
    Let the hair fall out naturally. Avoid plucking, waxing, or using depilatory creams in the treated area between sessions. Shaving is okay if needed.
  • Plan for Your Next Treatment
    Laser hair removal works in a series of sessions, usually spaced 4-12 weeks apart. Expect to see more reduction in hair growth after each session, but multiple treatments are necessary for optimal results.

  • Soothe the Skin
    Apply a cooling gel like aloe vera or a calming, fragrance-free moisturizer to soothe any redness or irritation.
  • Avoid Hot Showers & Baths
    Stick to lukewarm or cool water for the first 24-48 hours. Avoid hot baths, showers, saunas, and hot tubs, as heat can irritate the treated area.
  • No Sun Exposure
    Stay out of direct sun for at least 1-2 weeks post-treatment to prevent skin irritation or pigmentation changes. If you go outside, apply SPF 30+ sunscreen and wear protective clothing.
  • Skip Intense Workouts
    Avoid heavy exercise, hot yoga, or any activity that causes sweating for the first 24-48 hours to prevent irritation or skin infections.
  • Avoid Exfoliation
    Don’t use scrubs, loofahs, or exfoliating products (like AHAs, BHAs, or retinoids) on the treated area for at least 4-5 days to prevent skin irritation.
  • No Plucking or Waxing
    Let hair shed naturally—don’t wax, pluck, or use depilatory creams between sessions. Shaving is okay if needed, as it doesn’t disturb the hair follicles.
  • Moisturize Gently
    Keep the treated area hydrated with a mild, fragrance-free moisturizer to help soothe and heal the skin.
  • Wear Loose Clothing
    For the first day or two, opt for loose, comfortable clothing to prevent irritation from tight fabrics rubbing against the treated skin.
  • Avoid Makeup or Deodorant
    If your face or underarms were treated, avoid makeup, deodorant, or any harsh products for 24-48 hours. Use only mild, non-irritating products.
  • Expect Shedding
    Hair in the treated area will begin to shed over the next 1-3 weeks. This is normal—resist the urge to scrub or force the shedding.
  • Stay Hydrated
    Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and aid in the healing process.
  • Follow Up with Your Next Treatment
    Laser hair removal is a gradual process, so keep up with your scheduled sessions to see the best results. Multiple sessions are needed for long-term hair reduction.
