Dealing with unwanted hair, constant shaving, razor irritation or ingrown hairs?

You’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep reaching for the razor every morning. Laser hair removal at Fitzy Shades reduces hair at the root, so you spend less time shaving and more time feeling smooth. We plan every treatment around your skin tone and hair type, including skin of color.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles. The process involves using laser devices like Aerolase and Lumecca IPL Therapy to deliver precise wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin and eliminate unwanted hair.

Target Areas

Laser hair removal can be applied to multiple areas of the body, including the face, arms, underarms, legs, back, chest, and bikini line. The versatility of the treatment allows for comprehensive hair reduction across various regions, tailored to your specific needs.

Target Concerns

Laser hair removal addresses several common concerns associated with unwanted hair:

Hair Growth. Significantly reduces the density and frequency of hair growth.
Skin Irritation. Eliminates the need for frequent shaving or waxing, reducing skin irritation.
Convenience. Provides a more permanent solution compared to traditional hair removal methods.

Treatment Areas

Face, neck, underarms, arms, hands, back, chest, abdomen, bikini line, Brazilian, legs and feet.

Unwanted facial hair

Upper lip, chin, jawline and sideburns. Facial hair can be frustrating, especially when it’s linked to hormones. Laser can reduce growth so you’re not tweezing or threading every week. If hormones are part of the picture, we can also talk about our hormone therapy options.

Body hair

Underarms, bikini line, legs, arms, back and chest. Treat one area or build a plan for several.

Ingrown hairs

Ingrown hairs happen when a hair curls back into the skin instead of growing out. They can leave painful bumps and dark marks behind. Reducing the hair itself is one of the most effective ways to stop the cycle.

Razor irritation

Redness, stinging and rash after shaving are signs your skin is tired of the razor. Fewer hairs means less shaving and calmer skin.

Razor bumps

Razor bumps (pseudofolliculitis barbae) are especially common in people with coarse or curly hair, and they often show up on the beard area, neck and bikini line. Laser hair removal can reduce the bumps and the dark spots they leave. This is one of the most common reasons men visit Fitzy Men.

Hair reduction vs Waxing & Shaving

Compare your hair removal options
Comparison	Shaving	Waxing	Laser hair removal
How long it lasts	A day or two	A few weeks	Long term reduction after a full series
Ingrown hairs and bumps	Common	Common	Often reduced

Ongoing upkeep	Daily	Every few weeks	Occasional maintenance sessions

Laser hair removal is long term hair reduction, not a guarantee that every hair is gone forever. Some hairs may grow back finer and lighter, and maintenance sessions help.

What to Expect During Treatment

During a laser hair removal session with Aerolase or Lumecca, our trained provider will use a handheld device to deliver laser pulses to the targeted area. The treatment is relatively quick, with each session lasting between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Most clients experience minimal discomfort, often described as a slight tingling sensation.

How Long Do Results Last

The results of laser hair removal can last several months to years, with maintenance sessions helping to prolong the effects. To maximize the benefits:

Avoid Sun Exposure. Protect treated areas from direct sunlight.
Moisturize Regularly. Keep your skin hydrated to support healing.
Follow Post-Treatment Guidelines. Adhere to any specific aftercare instructions provided by our specialist.

How many sessions will I need?

Hair grows in cycles, and laser only affects hairs in the active growth stage. That’s why most clients need a series of treatments, typically spaced three to four weeks apart for Aerolase. The exact number depends on the area, your hair and your hormones.

What does it feel like?

Most clients describe a warm snap on the skin. Areas with thicker hair may feel a little more intense. Sessions are quick, from a few minutes for the upper lip to longer for full legs or back.

Who Are the Ideal Candidates?

Ideal candidates for laser hair removal are individuals with unwanted hair seeking a long-term reduction solution. The treatment is most effective for those with lighter skin and darker hair, but advancements in technology now allow for broader suitability across various skin tones and hair colors.

How to prepare

Shave the area a day before your appointment
Don’t wax, pluck or thread for several weeks before treatment, because the hair root needs to be present
Avoid sun exposure and self tanner on the area
Tell us about any medications, especially ones that make skin sensitive to light

Aftercare

Mild redness and small bumps around the follicles are common for a few hours to a day. Use sunscreen, skip hot tubs and hard workouts for a day, and don’t pluck between sessions. Hairs may shed over the next one to three weeks, which is normal.

Skin tone considerations

Older hair removal lasers worked best on light skin and dark hair, and could burn or discolor darker skin. Aerolase uses a very short pulse that allows us to treat a much wider range of skin tones, including deep skin, after a skin assessment. Very light, gray, red or blonde hair usually doesn’t respond well to any laser, and we’ll tell you upfront.

Aerolase vs. IPL for hair removal

Aerolase

is our main hair removal device. It can treat a wide range of skin tones and is a strong choice for ingrown hairs and razor bumps.

Lumecca IPL

can reduce hair in some clients with lighter skin and darker hair, but it isn’t recommended for very dark skin.

At your consultation, we’ll recommend the safest option for your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is laser hair removal permanent?

It’s long term hair reduction. Most people see a big drop in hair growth after a full series, with occasional maintenance sessions.

Can I get laser hair removal on dark skin?

Yes, with the right device and settings. Aerolase can be used on deep skin tones after a skin assessment.

Will it help my razor bumps?

For many people, yes. Fewer hairs means fewer bumps and less irritation.

Can I shave between sessions?

Yes. Shaving is fine. Avoid waxing, plucking and threading.

Who shouldn't get laser hair removal?
