Unwanted hair on the upper body can be a challenge to manage with regular shaving or waxing, which often leads to irritation, ingrown hairs, and frequent maintenance. Laser hair removal is a convenient and effective solution for long-term hair reduction on the chest, back, shoulders, and arms, leaving you with smooth, hair-free skin that lasts.
Laser hair removal uses a focused beam of light to target hair follicles beneath the skin. This light energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, which heats and destroys the follicle, inhibiting future hair growth. Since facial hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to target all follicles effectively. With each session, hair growth becomes finer, lighter, and slower, resulting in a smooth, hair-free complexion.
We can treat various upper body areas, including the arms, underarms, chest, stomach, back, shoulders, and neck. Treatments can be customized to target specific areas or combinations based on your needs.
The laser emits light energy that targets the pigment in hair follicles, damaging them to inhibit future hair growth. This treatment is safe and effective for both small areas like the underarms and larger areas like the back or arms.

You may feel a mild stinging sensation during treatment, similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Most clients find the discomfort manageable, and our advanced lasers have cooling features to enhance comfort.
Most clients need 6–8 sessions to achieve optimal results, depending on the area treated, your hair type, and growth cycle. A consultation will help us provide a more accurate estimate.
Session times vary by area. Underarms can take as little as 15 minutes, while full arms or back treatments may take 30–60 minutes.

Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment. Avoid sun exposure, tanning, or using self-tanners, and refrain from waxing or plucking for at least 4 weeks prior.
You may experience mild redness or swelling, similar to a slight sunburn, but these effects are temporary and usually subside within a few hours. We provide aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
