Laser Hair Removal Since 2006

Precision Laser Hair Reduction

Laser hair removal uses focused light energy to target melanin in hair follicles. The laser pulses heat the hair root, disabling future growth. This process is repeated over 6–8 sessions as hair grows in cycles.

The Cutera Excel HR features dual-wavelength technology—755nm and 1064nm—allowing safe, effective treatment across all Fitzpatrick skin types. Built-in cooling protects surrounding skin while delivering powerful results.

Most clients describe the sensation as a light snap. The cooling system minimizes discomfort. Pain varies by area treated—sensitive zones like the bikini line may feel more intense.

What are the benefits vs other methods?

Benefits

Laser offers permanent reduction, no daily maintenance, and precision targeting. Unlike razors and wax, it reduces ingrown hairs and skin irritation while delivering lasting smoothness.

vs Shaving

Shaving requires daily or weekly maintenance and causes razor bumps and irritation. Laser provides permanent reduction after 6–8 sessions, eliminating the need to shave regularly.

vs IPL

Laser is more effective than IPL for darker skin tones and coarse hair. The Cutera Excel HR's dual wavelengths deliver superior penetration and lasting results.
