Laser Hair Removal for Legs: Never Shave Again!
Are you tired of shaving all the time? Are you getting sick of waxing? How about dealing with razor bumps and ingrown hairs? Now, there is a safe and permanent solution for you – laser hair removal! With laser hair removal, your legs will be permanently smooth, soft, and hair-free year-round.
This ultimate guide to leg laser hair removal will provide you with everything you need to know about the procedure, including: how the process works, what leg areas we treat, how many treatments you need, the cost, and why laser hair removal is an ideal procedure for women and men who want to achieve effortless smoothness.
What Is Leg Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal for legs is a safe, non-invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes concentrated beams of light to permanently target and destroy hair follicles in your thighs, knees, calves, and feet. Ultimately, laser hair removal provides an effective and long-term reduction of hair growth.
Lasers treat hair follicles by targeting the melanin (pigment) of your hair and, with appropriate heating of a developing follicle, destroy it without damaging the surrounding skin.
Areas that we typically treat with laser hair removal include:
- Full legs (thighs, knees, calves, feet, and toes)
- Upper legs only (hip to knee)
- Lower legs only (knee to ankle)
- Knees and feet as add-ons
Women and men both take advantage of laser hair removal on the legs, whether they want the smooth skin that comes with laser hair removal for grooming needs, a competitive athletic edge, or an overall easier personal grooming option.
Advantages of Laser Hair Removal on Legs
Here are a few reasons why lasers are a great long-term option for hair removal on the legs:
- Permanent reduction of hair – 90% reduction in hair
- Having smooth skin without ingrown hairs/razor bumps
- Saving time – no more shaving daily or weekly
- Potentially help with skin irritation/skin discoloration
- Quick overall treatment time – 30 minutes – 60 minutes
- Long-term savings versus waxing or shaving
Bonus: You’ll experience smoother skin, an even skin tone, and you won’t have to worry about shaving or waxing anytime soon!
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal works from the root of the hair (the follicle). The laser works effectively during the anagen (growth) phase. However, not all of your hairs are in the same growth phase at any given time, so it will take multiple sessions to treat the follicles.
The treatment process looks like this:
- Assessment/Consultation: The technicians will complete your consultation for your treatment and assess your skin tone and hair type.
- Preparation: Your legs will be cleaned and shaved (ideally 24 hours before treatment).
- Laser Treatment: Using a hand-held device, a series of light pulses are applied down the area being treated.
- Cooling: During the laser session, a built-in cooling mechanism or cooling gel will be used for the tissues immediately before and during the laser session.
- Post-Treatment Care: Following the treatment, a post-therapy lotion/aloe is applied to your legs along with any after-care instructions.
Timing of delivering the treatment:
- Full Leg: 45-60 minutes
- Lower Leg only or Upper Leg only: 20-30 minutes
How many Sessions Will I Need?
Typical clients will require between 6 – 8 sessions every 4 – 6 weeks, for the best long-term results.
What to expect:
- Session 1-2: Slow regrowth, thin, fine hair
- Session 3-5: Areas of permanent reduction
- Session 6-8: 80-90% hair reduction, semi-permanent smoothness
Maintenance: Some people wish to do 1-2 touch-up sessions in the year, especially if hormonal changes create new regrowth.
Laser Hair Removal Legs Cost
Laser hair removal is a cost, but when you compare that to years of waxing or razors, it is worth the cost.
Average cost:
- Full legs (per session): $250-500
- Lower legs: $150-250
- Upper legs: $150-250
- Pack of full leg sessions (6): $1,200-2400
- Add-on areas (knees, toes, feet): $30-50 each
Tip: Many clinics offer ob to 20% off package/ membership deals, especially if full body or multiple area packages.
Does It Hurt?
Most find it to be a light rubber band snap or warm tingling. Although patients may feel it differently, with the advancement of technology and cooling devices, laser hair removal is not usually painful (if at all) and is faster than waxing.
In a general sense, the discomfort goes away pretty quickly and lasts just the duration of the session. If a client is very sensitive to pain, numbing cream could be applied quickly before the session. —
