What is a Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal works by delivering targeted laser energy to hair follicles, disabling them. The laser energy is attracted to the hair pigment, and after a series of treatments, the hair follicle is permanently damaged. The hair is then permanently reduced.

By carefully targeting hair in the follicle, laser hair removal eliminates unwanted facial and body hair with the fastest, safest, and most effective hair-reduction technology on the market.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is suitable for a wide variety of people, but optimal results depend on certain factors. The best candidates:

  • Have darker hair pigment (i.e., dark brown or black), which absorbs laser energy more effectively
  • Maintain light to medium skin tones, though newer technologies (e.g., Nd: YAG and diode lasers) can safely treat darker skin tones. They agree generally in good health, with no active skin infections, open wounds, or severe skin conditions in the target area.
  • Do not have an active tan or sunburn, as that increases the risks of pigmentation changes.
  • Are not pregnant (or suspect they might be)
  • Are not taking certain photosensitizing medications (i.e., isotretinoin / Accutane, some acne drugs)
  • Are committed to completing the full treatment series + follow‑up maintenance visits

If your hair is very blonde, red, gray, or light in color, laser efficacy may be limited; however, Luminance can evaluate whether a customized approach or alternative method is more suitable.

What’s the First Step?

The first step toward laser hair removal at Luminance Regenerative Beauty & Wellness is to schedule a consultation. 

During this initial visit, our specialists will review your medical history, any medications you’re currently taking, your skin and hair type, and your personal goals for treatment. We may also perform a small test patch in the treatment area to determine the most effective and comfortable laser settings for your unique skin and hair. 

 

Once the evaluation is complete, we’ll discuss your personalized treatment plan, including the estimated number of sessions, the interval between each session, pricing, and detailed pre- and post-care instructions. 

Before your first session, you’ll be asked to follow a few preparation steps—such as avoiding sun exposure, discontinuing waxing or plucking, and shaving the treatment area 24 to 48 hours in advance.

What to Expect on the Day of Laser Hair Removal Treatment

During the treatment, the laser is pulsed for only a fraction of a second. The duration of each pulse is just long enough to damage the hair follicle. Hair treated with laser hair removal typically falls out between 2 and 3 weeks after treatment. Laser hair removal can be used almost anywhere on the body except for around the eyes.

Laser Hair Removal Recovery

Clients have noticed an average reduction of 80-90% in hair growth. Results with laser hair removal are long-lasting and permanent. 

Occasionally, conditions such as pregnancy, menopause, certain medications, or hormonal conditions can trigger new hair growth. However, the new growth will be much lighter in color and finer in texture.

How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost in San Jose, CA?

The cost of laser hair removal in San Jose will depend entirely on the area being treated and how many treatments you may need. The best way to determine your final cost is to come in for a consultation with one of our providers, who will fully assess the hair you’re looking to remove. After their evaluation, we can provide you with a more accurate price.
