Laser Hair Removal: How Does It Work?
Laser hair removal uses light energy to stop unwanted hair growth. The laser targets the pigment in hair follicles, heating them up and damaging the follicle so it can no longer produce hair. Since hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to treat all follicles during their active growth phase.
While results vary based on hair color and skin type, most clients experience long-term hair reduction, with any regrowth being lighter and finer. At Studio 4955, we combine the best technology in the business and our own expertise to provide effective, comfortable treatments.

All About Laser Hair Removal: FAQs
We strive to make every treatment as comfortable as possible at Studio 4955. We use Rohrer Aesthetics’ Spectrum laser, which has built-in contact cooling to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a rubber band snapping against the skin, with discomfort rated between a 3 and 5 out of 10. The sensation is brief and localized, and many find it more tolerable than waxing or epilating.
Laser hair removal is a quick procedure but the exact duration of each session depends on the treatment area. For example, underarms can take as little as 5 minutes, while larger areas like legs may take up to 30 minutes.
While laser hair removal doesn’t guarantee permanent results, it offers long-lasting reductions in hair growth. Treated hair becomes finer, lighter, and less noticeable, with many clients experiencing months or even years of smooth, hair-free skin.
Most clients need 6-8 sessions to get the best results. Treatments are spaced 4-8 weeks apart to target hair during its different growth stages. Our team will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your hair and skin type.
While laser hair removal is considered safe, it’s not recommended during pregnancy. At Studio 4955, the safety and effectiveness of your treatment are our top priorities. Hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy can make your skin more sensitive and also increase hair growth, which could lead to more skin irritation during treatment and disappointing results. However, our team is happy to create a plan for post-pregnancy treatments.
