Are you tired of shaving, plucking, waxing, or using depilatory creams to remove unwanted hair? If so, you may consider laser hair removal in Golden, a safe and effective way to eliminate unwanted hair from targeted areas without the risk of razor burns and ingrown hair.
Zap Your Way to Smooth, Hair-Free Skin
Most people rely on waxing or shaving to eliminate unwanted hair from the legs, thighs, shoulders, underarms, and other regions. But waxing and shaving are temporary solutions, necessitating frequent attention to your grooming habits. They can also lead to razor burns, ingrown hairs, and other problems that negatively affect your skin quality. If you want to achieve smooth, hair-free skin, we offer cutting-edge laser hair removal to zap away unwanted hair follicles.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves channeling highly-calibrated wavelengths of laser energy into the unwanted hair follicles. The pigment in the hair follicles absorbs the laser energy and subsequently gets destroyed, preventing future regrowth from that area. Each laser hair removal session helps you achieve thinner, smaller, and sparser hair until you have completely smooth, hair-free skin. Laser hair removal in Golden is one of the most effective ways to remove unwanted hair.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs
Why is laser hair removal better than shaving and waxing?
Laser hair removal is considerably more effective than shaving and waxing because it destroys the roots of the targeted hair follicles, helping you achieve almost permanently hair-free skin. Shaving is an extremely temporary solution to unwanted hair because it must be repeated every couple of days. Even waxing needs to be repeated every couple of weeks. But with laser hair removal in Golden, after a series of 6 to 8 treatments, you are left with almost no hair growth in the area.
Is laser hair removal suitable for my skin type?
Laser hair removal is generally more effective for patients with light skin and dark hair. That’s because the laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, so darker hair is more receptive to the treatment. However, we use a cutting-edge Diode laser that can be calibrated according to your skin color to ensure safe and consistent results. So yes, laser hair removal suits most skin types and colors.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal involves channeling laser energy into unwanted hair. The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the laser energy and gets destroyed. If the targeted hairs are at the active growth phase and still connected to the root, the hair is destroyed, so it can’t grow again. Each laser hair removal in Golden session destroys a new set of hair follicles at the active growth phase, so you achieve thinner and sparser hair growth with each session.
What happens during the laser hair removal session?
Laser hair removal is a simple treatment that usually concludes within an hour. The aesthetic provider cleanses your skin, applies a numbing gel, and uses the Diode laser to channel calibrated wavelengths of laser energy into the targeted areas with unwanted hair. You might experience a warm sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against your skin.
What are the side effects of laser hair removal?
The most common side effect of laser hair removal is temporary redness and swelling of the treated area. You may also experience some minor bruising, itching, or skin irritation. These side effects usually disappear within a few hours or days.
What are the aftercare guidelines?
To help reduce the side effects and promote healing after your laser hair removal in Golden treatment, it’s important to follow the aftercare guidelines provided by your physician or laser technician. These may include using a cold compress, avoiding sun exposure, and using a gentle cleanser and moisturizer.
How many laser hair removal sessions do I need?
The number of sessions required depends on several factors, including the color and thickness of your hair, the area being treated, and your hair growth cycle. Most people need 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 12 weeks apart to achieve desired results.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, the results of laser hair removal are typically permanent. However, some people may require touch-up treatments once or twice a year to target new hair growth.
