Laser Hair Removal in Cumming, GA
Safe, effective laser hair removal with long-lasting results using the advanced Clarity™ dual-wavelength laser. Personalized plans for your skin type, hair type, and goals.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target pigment in the hair shaft, safely disabling the follicle to reduce future growth. Over a series of sessions, it delivers long-term hair reduction and smoother skin with minimal downtime. Common areas include the face, underarms, legs, bikini line, chest, back, and arms.
- ✓Long-term reduction: Up to 90% less hair with a full treatment plan.
- ✓Less irritation: Ditch razor burn, ingrown hairs, and waxing.
- ✓Safe & precise: Targets follicles without harming surrounding skin.
How long does a laser hair removal session last?
- ✓Small areas (3–5 min): upper lip, chin, underarms.
- ✓Medium areas (15–25 min): bikini line, lower legs, forearms.
- ✓Large areas (30–45 min): chest, back, full legs (depends on hair density).
With efficient workflows and modern technology, full-body laser hair removal for men or women can be completed in under 45 minutes.
What is the Clarity™ Laser?
The Clarity™ laser by Lutronic delivers dual-wavelength energy—Alexandrite (755nm) and Nd:YAG (1064nm)—to customize treatments across different skin tones and hair types. This precision helps maximize results while reducing the risk of irritation or discoloration, making it a great option for a wide range of patients.
How does it work?
Through selective photothermolysis, laser light is absorbed by melanin in the hair and converted to heat, safely damaging the follicle and its growth structures to reduce future hair production.
How should I care for my skin after laser hair removal?
- ✓Soothe with aloe vera, Aquaphor, or a cool compress as needed.
- ✓If itchy, a thin layer of hydrocortisone can help.
- ✕Avoid hot showers, baths, saunas, steam rooms.
- ✕No tanning beds or unprotected sun exposure.
- ✓Expect normal shedding; gently exfoliate with a loofah or washcloth—do not pull hairs.
- ✓You may shave or trim between sessions; avoid waxing or plucking.
- ✓Apply SPF 30+ daily (SPF 50+ for prolonged sun) and wear protective clothing.
- ✕Avoid additional laser treatments or chemical peels on the area for 2 weeks.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Most patients describe a quick snap or warmth. We tailor settings and offer comfort measures to keep treatments well tolerated.
How many sessions will I need?
Most areas need a series of sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart to treat hair in different growth cycles and achieve long-term reduction.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. The Clarity™ system uses Nd:YAG 1064nm—well suited for melanin-rich skin—when clinically appropriate.
When will I see results?
Many notice reduction after the first few sessions; shedding typically occurs days to weeks after treatment.
Can I tan before or after treatment?
Avoid tanning and always use SPF 30+ to reduce risk of irritation or discoloration. Wait at least two weeks after treatment for peels or other lasers.
