Laser hair removal is more than just a treatment—it’s a journey toward smooth, carefree skin

that gives you the confidence to feel your best every day. At Prestige Laser & Skin Clinic, we’re here to guide you every step of the way, with the latest technology, expert care, and personalized plans tailored to your unique needs!

If you’ve ever wondered what laser hair removal is all about or whether it’s the right choice for you, let us break it down in an easy, human-centered way.



What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal works by using specific wavelengths of light to target and damage hair follicles over time, reducing hair growth significantly. The laser is drawn to the pigment in the hair follicle, which is why having darker hair typically yields the best results.

At Prestige Laser & Skin Clinic, we use the Lutronic Clarity laser, featuring dual-wavelength technology (Nd:Yag and Alexandrite). This advanced system ensures safe and effective treatments for all skin types, whether your skin is light, dark, or somewhere in between.


Am I a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

Not sure if laser hair removal is right for you? That’s okay! Our complimentary consultations are the perfect way to learn more and get a proper assessment. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff will answer all your questions and help you start your laser hair removal journey with confidence.


How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Most clients need anywhere from 6 to 12 treatments for optimal results, which can result in up to a 95% reduction in hair growth. The exact number of sessions depends on factors like the area being treated, hormones, stress levels, and your body’s unique response. Regularly scheduled treatments are essential to achieving the best results.


What Areas Can Be Treated?

From head to toe, we’ve got you covered! We can treat any area you want, whether it’s your face, legs, bikini line, or back.





Does It Hurt?

Comfort is key. Laser hair removal can feel like a quick snapping sensation, but at Prestige Laser & Skin Clinic, our Lutronic Clarity laser includes cryogen cooling technology to maximize your comfort without compromising results.


Does Laser Work on Blonde or Light Hair?

Laser hair removal works best on pigmented hair. Blonde, red, or gray hair lacks the pigment needed for the laser to effectively target the follicle. While some reduction may occur, complete removal isn’t typically possible for lighter hair.


Is It Safe for Darker Skin Tones?

Absolutely! Darker skin requires a deeper wavelength to safely bypass the skin’s melanin and target the hair follicle. The Nd:Yag wavelength on our Lutronic Clarity laser is specifically designed for safe, effective treatment on darker skin types.


How Should I Prepare for My Appointment?

  • Shave the area being treated 24 hours prior to your appointment.

  • Avoid waxing, plucking, or tweezing for at least 4 weeks before starting treatment.

  • Refrain from using self-tanner or exposing the area to the sun for 2–3 weeks before and after your treatment.


Is Laser Hair Removal Expensive?

We believe that smooth skin should be accessible. That’s why we offer competitive pricing, customized packages, and even monthly payment options with no interest. At Prestige Laser & Skin Clinic, we’ll work with you to make laser hair removal an affordable investment in yourself.


What Can I Expect After Treatment?

After your session, you may notice slight redness or swelling (called follicular edema), but this typically subsides within 24 hours. Your technician will provide aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.


Can I Get Laser Hair Removal While Pregnant or Breastfeeding?

As a precaution, we do not treat pregnant or breastfeeding clients. Although there’s no known risk with breastfeeding, we recommend waiting until you’re done to start your treatments.


Is Hair Removal Guaranteed?

Every body is different, and while laser hair removal offers significant hair reduction, no treatment can guarantee 100% removal. Some clients may need occasional maintenance treatments to keep results looking their best.

At Prestige Laser & Skin clinic, we combine advanced technology, expert knowledge, and compassionate care to give you the best possible experience. Whether it’s your first session or your final touch-up, we’re here to help you achieve smooth, glowing skin safely and effectively.

What Our Patients Say

I’m new here but have had an outstanding service and even better results!! I am very pleased and happy to have found this unassuming magic salon with exceptional technicians and technology as well as very reasonable prices. I was a little timid to start as skin is of course very important and fragile to entrust to someone new… but now all I can say is I can’t recommend this place enough to all my friends and family. If you love your skin leave it to Prestige Laser Studio and Tanja and her tech ladies! and you’ll be very satisfied! Thank you and can’t wait to see you again next week and again and then again! -AO
