Laser Hair Removal is a non-invasive treatment designed to reduce unwanted hair by targeting the hair follicle with controlled laser energy. Over a series of treatments, hair grows back finer, lighter, and less frequently, providing a long-term solution compared to shaving or waxing.
At Coastal Contours & Wellness in Mobile, Alabama, laser hair removal treatments are customized based on skin tone, hair type, and the area being treated to ensure both safety and effective results.
Laser hair removal can treat many areas of the body including:
• legs
• underarms
• bikini area
• face (lip, chin, jawline)
• chest
• back
• arms
This treatment is ideal for clients who want smoother skin with less daily maintenance and fewer ingrown hairs.
Laser Hair Removal works by directing concentrated light energy into the hair follicle. The pigment in the hair absorbs the light, which damages the follicle and slows future hair growth.
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to target follicles during their active growth phase.
Over time, treated hair becomes finer, lighter, and less dense, leading to long-lasting hair reduction.
“Laser hair removal helps reduce unwanted hair at the follicle level, allowing for smoother skin and less maintenance over time.”
Proper preparation is important to ensure the laser treatment works effectively.
Before your appointment:
• Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your visit
• Avoid waxing or plucking for several weeks before treatment
• Limit sun exposure prior to treatment
• Avoid applying lotions, oils, or deodorant on the treatment area
• Arrive with clean skin
⚠️ Important: The treatment area must be shaved before your appointment. If hair is too long, the laser cannot effectively target the follicle beneath the skin.
Your provider will review the treatment area and confirm your skin and hair type are suitable for treatment.
During your laser hair removal session, a handheld laser device will be used to deliver short pulses of light energy to the treatment area.
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snapping feeling or mild heat.
Treatment time varies depending on the size of the area:
• small areas: 10–15 minutes
• medium areas: 20–30 minutes
• larger areas: 45–60 minutes
There is little to no downtime, and clients can typically return to normal activities the same day.
Laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction and smoother skin with fewer maintenance needs.
Benefits may include:
• long-term reduction of unwanted hair
• smoother skin texture
• fewer ingrown hairs
• less irritation from shaving
• reduced need for waxing or daily shaving
Most clients complete a series of 6–8 treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve the best results.
