How it Works
What is the laser hair reduction procedure like?
Procedure Technique
At your laser hair reduction appointment, you can relax in one of our treatment rooms as the needed areas of your skin are cleaned to remove dirt, oil, and moisturizers. During laser hair reduction, a technician will stretch out the skin to provide a direct path between the root of the hair follicle and the laser. The laser’s energy will target and disable the hair follicle, which stops it from growing back.
Usually, you will need 3 to 5 sessions over 3 to 4 weeks to see your ideal results. Your appointments will be spaced out in order to allow the treated areas time to recover. This also allows time for hair follicles that were in the dormant phase of growth to reach the active growth phase so we can treat them. The state-of-the-art laser hair removal technology we use at Allegro MedSpa of Santa Rosa can target the hair follicle alone to preserve the skin in the area being treated.
What to Expect
Here’s what to expect with laser hair removal.
During Treatment
While the treatment is relatively gentle in nature, your skin may feel like it has a light sunburn because we use lasers.
Side Effects
After your session, you will be free to resume your daily activities, but refrain from heavy activity or lengthy exposure to the sun for 24 hours to let the treated areas heal. When you get home after your appointment, we recommend anti-inflammatory creams or cold packs to treat any discomfort.
What are the benefits of laser hair reduction?
Laser hair removal in Santa Rosa frequently leaves the skin looking and feeling smoother, and it produces long-lasting results compared to other hair removal methods.

Laser Hair Reduction Recovery
While laser hair reduction doesn't require a traditional recovery period, proper aftercare is crucial for optimal results and skin health:
Soothe Your Skin:

- Use aloe vera gel to calm and hydrate treated areas
Sun Protection:
- Avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks post-treatment
- Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily
Gentle Care:

Hair Shedding:

Following these simple steps will ensure your skin stays healthy and receptive to future treatments, maximizing your results.

Frequently Asked Questions
The underarm and the bikini areas are the most popular, but we can also treat the legs, arms, chest, face, and neck
Most sessions are 15-60 minutes depending on what area(s) we treat.
Using a combination of Nd:YAG and Alexandrite laser wavelengths, our laser hair reduction machine is the fastest in the field. Because we must treat hair during its growth phase, and not all hair is in that growth phase at once, we require a series of treatments.
During your consultation, we will review your particular needs. In general, a series of 4-6 treatments are needed.
With our state-of-the art lasers, laser hair reduction is virtually painless!
