what makes us different
Benefits of laser hair removal
Long-lasting results with fewer sessions
Our laser treatment targets the hair follicle at the root, helping reduce regrowth and enhancing hair reduction over time.
Precision with every pulse
The highly concentrated light energy targets only the hair shaft, preserving the surrounding skin surface for a safer, more comfortable experience.
Effective on multiple body areas
Our treatment works for delicate spots like the upper lip and broader zones like the legs, underarms, or bikini area.
Suitable for different skin tones and hair types
Thanks to selective photothermolysis, our device adapts to Fitzpatrick skin types, skin color, and hair color, making it effective for a wider range of clients.
Minimal discomfort, no downtime
With a built-in numbing cream option and cooling technology, you may feel only temporary discomfort during the procedure and can return to daily life right after.
Say goodbye to shaving and waxing
Laser hair removal helps remove hair without razors, plucking hair, or applying skin bleaching cream, leading to smooth, low-maintenance skin.
Laser hair removal 101
How laser hair removal works
Laser hair removal works by delivering a highly concentrated beam of light energy directly to the hair follicles. This process is called selective photothermolysis, and it’s designed to precisely target treated hair while leaving the surrounding skin surface unharmed.
At LA ViE MD, our licensed professionals use FDA-approved laser technology to treat a wide range of skin tones and hair types, including areas with darker skin or coarse, dark hair. The treatment is safe, fast, and effective.
Who is a good candidate for laser hair removal?
While many people can benefit from treatment, results. Here’s a quick overview of who makes an ideal candidate:
✔️ People with light skin and dark, coarse hair
✔️ Individuals with medium to dark skin
✔️ Men and women seeking long-term hair reduction
✔️ Healthy individuals without active skin conditions or infections

FAQ
Frequent Questions
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal uses a highly concentrated beam of light energy to target the hair follicles. The pigment in the hair shaft absorbs the light, damaging the follicle and slowing future hair growth without harming the surrounding skin surface.
How does laser hair removal differ from laser hair reduction?
Laser hair removal typically refers to long-term hair reduction, not complete elimination. While it can significantly reduce unwanted hair, it’s more accurate to describe it as permanent hair reduction, since hair grows in cycles and may return over time.
Is laser hair removal safe?
Yes. Modern laser technology is safe for most skin types, including darker skin tones. At LA ViE MD, we customize each treatment based on your Fitzpatrick skin type and hair color to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Who should avoid laser hair removal?
Those with very light blonde, grey, or red hair may not respond well, as the laser light targets pigment. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions should consult a doctor before undergoing treatment.
What are the potential side effects or risks of laser hair removal?
Most patients experience minimal side effects, such as temporary discomfort, redness, or swelling in the treated area. Rarely, there may be blistering or changes in skin color, especially if you’ve recently used tanning beds or had sun exposure.
How should I prepare for a session?
Start by shaving the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment. Avoid plucking hair, waxing, or using skin bleaching cream for at least two weeks prior. Also, avoid sun exposure or tanning devices before your session.
What should I expect during the procedure?
You’ll wear eye protection, and a cooling device or numbing cream may be applied. The laser light will pulse over the area, treating many hairs quickly. You might feel a slight snapping sensation.
What happens after a laser hair removal appointment?
You may have mild redness or warmth in the treated area. Avoid sun, heat, or heavy exercise for 24–48 hours. Results vary, but treated hair will gradually fall out over the next 1–3 weeks.
How many sessions are typically needed?
Most patients need multiple treatments, usually spaced 4–6 weeks apart, to catch each hair growth cycle. The exact number depends on the treatment area, skin tone, and hair type.
How long do laser hair removal results last?
With proper maintenance, many patients enjoy smooth skin for months or even years. Occasional touch-ups may be needed to maintain permanent hair reduction.
Is laser hair removal a permanent solution?
It’s best described as long-term hair reduction, not full removal. Unlike other hair removal methods, laser hair treatments reduce the amount and thickness of hair growth significantly.
What is the recovery process like after laser hair removal?
Recovery is quick. Most clients return to normal activities immediately. Just avoid sun exposure and heat for a day or two to protect the skin surface.
Will I need touch-up treatments after completing laser hair removal?
Yes, occasional touch-ups may be recommended, especially in areas where hair grows faster or more densely, like the face or bikini line.
Disclaimer: Laser hair removal treatments at LA ViE MD are non-invasive procedures designed to reduce unwanted hair and improve skin smoothness over time. Results may vary based on factors such as hair color, skin tone, treatment area, and individual response. These treatments are not permanent hair removal solutions, and multiple sessions are typically required for optimal results. While our advanced technology allows us to safely treat a range of skin and hair types, not all individuals are ideal candidates. Please consult with a licensed provider to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your needs. Always discuss any underlying medical conditions, medications, or concerns with your provider prior to treatment.
