Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target the melanin in hair follicles, generating heat that permanently damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth. At Devenir Aesthetics, we use advanced laser technology suitable for all skin tones and hair types — including darker skin tones that historically couldn’t be safely treated with older laser systems.

How Many Sessions Do I Need?
Hair grows in cycles — laser only affects hairs in the active growth (anagen) phase. Because not all hairs are in the same phase simultaneously, multiple sessions are required to catch each follicle in the right phase. Most patients achieve 85–90% permanent reduction after 6–8 sessions, with occasional annual touch-ups to address any regrowth from dormant follicles.
Does It Work on All Skin and Hair Types?
Our technology is safe and effective for skin types I–VI (including darker skin tones). The treatment works best on dark, coarse hair. Light blonde, red, gray, or white hair contains less melanin and responds less predictably — we’ll assess your hair color and skin type at consultation and set realistic expectations.
Before Your Treatment
Shave the treatment area 24 hours before. Do not wax, thread, or use depilatory creams for 4 weeks before — the root must be intact for the laser to target it. Avoid sun exposure and self-tanner for 4 weeks before treatment.
