Understanding Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is one of the most popular aesthetic treatments available today. It works by delivering concentrated beams of light into hair follicles. The pigment in the hair absorbs the light, which damages the follicle and significantly reduces its ability to grow new hair.
Since hair grows in stages, multiple treatments are necessary to target all follicles during their active growth phase. With consistent sessions, most clients notice finer, slower-growing hair and long-term reduction in treated areas.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
During treatment, a handheld laser device emits light energy that is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in your hair. The heat created disables the hair follicle while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
As each hair follicle responds to treatment differently, sessions are spaced several weeks apart to catch each follicle in its optimal growth cycle. After a few sessions, hair becomes softer, lighter, and much less noticeable.
Advanced laser devices at ABLC Hanford are calibrated to treat a variety of skin types, ensuring safe and comfortable results tailored to you.

Who is a Good Fit for Treatment?
Laser hair removal is suitable for a wide range of skin tones and hair types. It works best on darker, coarser hairs, but today’s advanced technology can also treat lighter tones and finer textures.
You may be a good candidate if you:
1.) Want to stop shaving, waxing, or plucking regularly
2.) Have dark facial or body hair and are seeking a longer-lasting solution
3.) Experience irritation or ingrown hairs from traditional hair removal methods
4.) Want smoother skin without ongoing effort
Who Should Delay or Avoid Treatment
While laser hair removal is safe for most people, there are cases where treatment may need to be postponed or avoided. These include:
1.) Pregnancy or breastfeeding
2.) Active skin infections, rashes, or inflammation
3.) Use of medications that increase light sensitivity
4.) Very light blonde, white, or gray hairs that lack pigment for laser targeting
Our team will review your health history and answer any questions during your consultation to ensure it’s the right time for your treatment.
Your Laser Hair Removal Appointment in Hanford
At ABLC we want you to feel informed and confident before your first session. Here’s what to expect:
Before Your Visit
Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and hair removal methods that disturb the follicle (like waxing or plucking) for at least two weeks before treatment.
What Happens During the Session
Your provider will begin by cleaning the skin. Depending on the treatment area, a cooling gel or numbing agent may be applied. The laser is then carefully adjusted to your skin tone and hair type, and short pulses of light are delivered to the hair follicles. You may feel a snapping or warm sensation, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Sessions typically last 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the area.
Aftercare and Recovery
After your treatment, you might experience slight redness or sensitivity, similar to a sunburn. This usually fades within a day or two. Your provider will recommend the following aftercare tips:
1.) Use a soothing moisturizer to keep the area hydrated
2.) Apply sunscreen daily to protect treated skin
3.) Avoid intense heat (hot showers, saunas) and vigorous workouts for 24 hours
4.) Refrain from using scented skincare products or makeup on the area for a day
Hair will begin to shed over the next few days, and your skin will become smoother with each session.
How Many Sessions Will You Need?
Most clients require 4 to 8 sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. Some areas may need occasional maintenance treatments depending on your hair and skin type.
