How many sessions are needed?
Hair grows in cycles, so treatment is usually performed as a series rather than a single visit. The number and spacing of sessions vary by treatment area, hair characteristics, response, and device.

What to know before laser hair removal.
A consultation helps determine whether laser hair reduction fits your hair, skin, treatment area, and expectations.
Does it remove every hair permanently?
Laser treatment is intended for long-term hair reduction. Some hair may return over time, and maintenance sessions may be recommended. Lighter, finer, gray, or red hair can respond less predictably.
What can happen afterward?
Temporary redness, swelling around follicles, warmth, or sensitivity can occur. Burns, blistering, scarring, and pigment changes are less common but meaningful risks that should be discussed before treatment.
How should I prepare?
Preparation depends on the device and treatment plan. Patients are commonly asked to avoid tanning and to follow instructions about shaving, sun exposure, medications, and skin products.

How laser hair removal works.
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target pigment within the hair follicle and reduce future growth. Results vary with hair color and coarseness, skin tone, treatment area, growth cycle, and the device and wavelength selected.
Modern laser hair removal can be considered for a wide range of skin tones when the equipment and settings are chosen appropriately. A consultation is important because lighter hair can respond less predictably, while darker skin requires particular experience and care to reduce the risk of burns or pigment changes.
Common treatment areas
Face, upper lip, chin, underarms, chest, back, abdomen, arms, legs, and bikini area.
Beyond unwanted hair
Hair reduction may also help some patients who regularly experience razor bumps or ingrown hairs. Your provider can determine whether it fits your concern.
After treatment
Temporary redness, swelling, or a warm stinging sensation can occur. Follow the clinic's aftercare instructions and protect treated skin from direct sun exposure.
What to expect
Most patients need a series of sessions because hair grows in cycles. Timing and maintenance needs differ from person to person.

Can I ask Anew Laser MD about tattoo removal?
Yes. See how it works on the laser tattoo removal page, then request a consultation. Treatment and provider availability, including which clinic, are confirmed when you book.
Laser tattoo removal directs short pulses of light toward tattoo pigment, breaking ink into smaller particles that the body gradually clears. The number of sessions and likely degree of fading depend on the tattoo's colors, size, depth, age, location, and how it was applied.
Anew Laser MD's prior treatment materials reference a Q-switched Quanta laser with multiple wavelengths. Your provider should confirm the device, your candidacy, expected results, risks, and aftercare before treatment.
Vascular and pigmented lesions
Selected laser wavelengths may also be used for concerns such as visible vessels or certain pigmented spots. These marks need an appropriate medical evaluation before treatment because not every lesion should be treated cosmetically.
