What Can You Expect in a Laser Hair Removal Session?

At Kalon Laser Aesthetics, before we start a laser hair removal session, we set up a 1:1 consultation to discuss your goals, skin, and the overall treatment plan.

During a laser hair removal session, we provide you with specialized protective laser eyewear for optimal eye protection. Next, we apply the laser to your targeted area. Each laser pulse feels a bit like a rubber band being snapped. We utilize a cooling system to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the entire session. While each session varies, most take anywhere between 15 minutes to an hour to complete.
