HAIR REDUCTION TREATMENTS
Laser hair reduction offers a longer-lasting alternative to shaving, waxing and other temporary methods by targeting unwanted hair at the follicle.
​
At OM Medispa, we use the Candela GentleLase®, a state-of-the-art laser platform with a long history of use in professional hair-reduction treatments. Candela’s Gentle technology is designed to deliver targeted laser energy while protecting the surrounding skin with an integrated cooling system for added comfort.
​
Treatment is personalized based on your skin tone, hair characteristics and treatment area. OM Medispa treats a broad range of skin types, and every client is evaluated individually to determine the safest and most appropriate settings.
Laser Hair Reduction
How does it work?
Laser energy targets pigment within the hair follicle during its active growth phase. Over time, treated follicles become less capable of producing hair, resulting in progressively smoother skin and reduced regrowth.
​
Because individual hairs grow at different times, laser hair reduction requires a series of treatments rather than a single appointment. Maintenance sessions may occasionally be recommended afterward depending on your response and treatment area.
​
Common Treatment Areas
Laser hair reduction can be used on many areas of the face and body, including:
-
Face & Chin
-
Underarms
-
Bikini & Brazilian
-
Legs & Arms
-
Chest & Back
​
Your treatment plan will be customized based on the area being treated and your individual hair-growth pattern.
Why Candela GentleLase?
The Candela GentleLase uses a 755 nm Alexandrite laser to target pigment within the hair follicle, helping reduce future hair growth while minimizing impact on the surrounding skin.
Candela’s Gentle systems are widely used for professional laser hair reduction and incorporate Dynamic Cooling Device™ technology, which cools the skin immediately before each laser pulse.
For clients, that means a treatment designed around both effectiveness and comfort.

-
Advanced laser technology

Fast treatment times
-
Integrated skin cooling

Treatment for both fine and coarse hair

Treating a Range of Skin Types
Laser hair reduction is not a one-setting-fits-all treatment.
Skin tone, hair color and hair thickness all affect how laser energy interacts with the skin, which is why proper evaluation and individualized treatment settings matter. OM Medispa assesses each client before treatment to determine whether laser hair reduction is appropriate and how treatment should be customized.
That physician-led approach is especially important when treating different skin tones, where careful device selection and settings can help balance effectiveness and safety.
What to Expect
Appointments can range from relatively quick sessions for small areas to longer visits for larger treatment areas. Most clients describe the sensation as brief warmth or snapping as the laser pulses.
​
Temporary redness or sensitivity can occur afterward, but most clients are able to return to their usual activities shortly after treatment.
​
Before beginning your series, your provider will review preparation instructions, expected results and any precautions specific to your skin and treatment area.
