Consultation
We start your laser hair removal journey with a consultation to get to know you and your needs. Our team works with you to discuss your expectations for treatment, answer your questions, and create your treatment plan.
Treatment
During your treatment, we continuously make sure you’re comfortable and relaxed. The procedure is often quick with minimal discomfort, typically with sensations similar to a rubber band snapping against your skin.

As you continue your treatment plan for laser hair removal, you should notice a significant reduction in hair growth. Each session’s results build on the previous one’s, so you will notice less and less hair growth every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! We can treat a wide range of skin tones and hair types with laser hair removal. If you are concerned about any specific factors, we can discuss how the treatment can work for you during your consultation.
There is no significant downtime associated with laser hair removal. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in your hair follicles using focused light energy. The light is then absorbed by the hair, which heats up and destroys the follicle, making it unable to grow more hair. Multiple sessions are essential for the success of laser hair removal, as the follicle is most susceptible to treatment as your hair attempts to grow back.
How You Can Benefit
Long-Lasting Hair Reduction: Methods like shaving and waxing only remove hair temporarily. However, getting laser hair removal in Des Moines offers a more permanent solution.
Smooth Skin: Laser hair removal discourages ingrown hairs caused by shaving and encourages smoother, healthier skin.
Convenience: Shaving every other day can get old. Laser hair removal is a great way to free up your time and make your daily routine hassle-free.
Preparation & Aftercare
We recommend taking a few necessary steps before getting laser hair removal in Des Moines. This includes avoiding extended amounts of time in the sun (including tanning beds) and waxing. We also ask that you shave the treatment area soon before your appointment so the laser can effectively reach your hair follicles.
After treatment, keep the area clean and moisturized, and continue to avoid prolonged time in the sun. It is also helpful to use gentle, nonirritating skincare products on the treatment area.
