How It Works
Procedure Technique
Learn more about our laser hair removal treatments in Northern California.
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 – 5 sessions over a period of 3 – 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 they can be treated. The state-of-the-art laser hair removal technology we use at Allegro MedSpa of Santa Rosa is able to 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 lasers are used.
Side Effects
After your session, you will be free to resume your daily activities, but you should refrain from heavy activity or lengthy exposure to the sun for a period of 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.

FAQ
What areas can be treated?
The underarm and the bikini areas are the most popular, but we can also treat the legs, arms, chest, face and neck.
How long does each session take?
Most sessions are 15-60 minutes in length depending on what area is treated.
How does Laser hair reduction work?
Using a combination of Nd:YAG and Alexandrite laser wavelengths, our laser hair reduction machine is the fastest in the field. Because hair must be treated during its growth phase, and not all hair is in that growth phase at once, a series of treatments is needed.
How many treatments are needed?
During your consultation we will review your particular needs. In general a series of 4-6 treatments are needed.
Is laser hair reduction painful?
With our state-of-the art lasers, laser hair reduction is virtually painless!
