Effective across a broad range of skin types and hair textures.
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses highly concentrated light energy to penetrate the hair follicle. The pigment (melanin) in the hair absorbs this light, which then converts to heat and destroys the follicle’s ability to grow new hair. Because hair grows in different cycles, the overall purpose is to treat the hair during its active growth phase. We offer various treatment options, including Broadband Light (BBL) and traditional laser wavelengths, to ensure we can safely and effectively address hair on any part of the body.
During your laser hair removal session, the area to be treated will be cleansed, and both you and your provider will wear protective eyewear. Your provider glides the handpiece over the treatment area, delivering rapid pulses of light. Thanks to our advanced cooling technology, most patients describe the sensation as a light snapping or a warm tingle rather than the painful snapping sensation of older lasers. Because our technology is so efficient, a treatment for the underarms or bikini line can be completed in as little as five to ten minutes.
We can effectively treat almost any area of the body where unwanted hair persists. Popular treatment areas for women include the legs, bikini line, underarms, and upper lip. For men, we frequently treat the back, chest, shoulders, and neckline to refine their grooming routine.

Laser hair removal liberates you from the daily chore of hair removal. Beyond the convenience, this cosmetic procedure improves skin texture by eliminating the stubble and irritation associated with traditional methods. Because the laser targets the follicle directly, it stops the cycle of ingrown hairs and the resulting dark spots or scarring. Our advanced technology is safe for a wider variety of skin types than ever before, ensuring that more patients can enjoy the benefits of permanent hair reduction. Over time, the cost of laser treatments is far less than a lifetime of razors and professional waxing, making it a wise investment for both your wallet and your confidence.
Most people are excellent candidates for laser hair removal. The laser is most effective on patients with dark hair and lighter skin tone, as the contrast allows the light to target the pigment easily. However, our advanced BBL and laser systems allow us to safely treat some darker skin tones as well.
The only individuals who may not be candidates are those with very light blonde, red, or grey hair, as these lack the pigment necessary to absorb the laser energy. During your consultation, we will review your medical history to ensure laser hair removal is an effective option for you.
There is no recovery time required after a session, and you can return to your normal activities immediately. The treated area may appear slightly red or bumpy for a few hours, similar to a very mild sunburn. We recommend that you avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks before and after treatment. You should also avoid plucking or waxing between sessions, though shaving is perfectly fine and encouraged.
You will notice the treated hairs beginning to fall out over the course of 7 to 21 days following your session. With each subsequent treatment, the hair will return thinner, lighter, and more sparse.
To achieve optimal results, a series of treatment sessions is required, typically 6 to 8 visits. This is because the laser only affects hair in the active growth phase, and your follicles rotate through these phases at different times. By staying consistent with your personalized treatment plan, you can achieve up to 90% permanent hair reduction, leaving you with glowing skin that is always ready for any occasion.
At Nuance, we don't believe in "good enough,” which is why we invest in the most advanced Sciton technology to ensure your laser hair removal is fast, safe, and truly effective. With an on-site MD and a team of experts with over a century of collective experience, we provide a level of clinical excellence that ensures your journey to smooth skin is as comfortable as it is successful.
While no laser can guarantee 100% removal for life, most patients experience permanent hair reduction of 80–90%. Any hair that does return is usually much finer and lighter.
Because of hair growth cycles, most patients require 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 10 weeks apart (depending on the area) to achieve desired results.
With our advanced HERO technology and integrated cooling, most patients find the treatment very comfortable. It is significantly less painful than waxing or older laser systems.
It is safest to avoid sun exposure and self-tanners for at least 4 weeks before your treatment. A tan can increase the risk of possible side effects like blistering or pigmentation changes.
Yes! We frequently treat the upper lip, chin, and sideburns. It is a fantastic way to handle hormonal hair growth for women.
You should arrive with the treatment area cleanly shaved. Please do not wax, pluck, or use electrolysis for at least 4 weeks prior, as the laser needs the hair root to be present to work.
