If you’re tired of shaving, waxing, or dealing with irritated skin from constant hair removal, laser hair removal at Advanced Body and Laser Center (ABLC) in Hanford offers a lasting solution. This effective treatment targets unwanted hair at the root to help you achieve smoother skin with fewer trips to the razor aisle.
Our team uses state-of-the-art laser technology to reduce hair growth safely and precisely. Whether you’re managing facial hair, looking to simplify your grooming routine, or ready for long-term results, ABLC Hanford is here to help.
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.
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.
This treatment is popular because it offers a practical, low-maintenance solution for both men and women. Here are a few common reasons our clients choose laser hair removal:
1.) To eliminate daily shaving or regular waxing appointments
2.) To reduce ingrown hairs and razor bumps
3.) To save time and effort in personal grooming routines
4.) To achieve smoother skin without irritation
At ABLC Hanford, laser hair removal is available for nearly any part of the body. The most frequently treated areas include:
Treats upper lip, chin, cheeks, and sideburns
Offers a clean, smooth finish with reduced sweat and odor
Choose full legs or focus on calves and thighs
Options include bikini line, Brazilian, or customized shaping
Great for reducing dense or patchy hair growth
Includes neck, shoulders, stomach, feet, or hands
Every client at ABLC receives personalized care based on their hair color, skin tone, and treatment goals. Our laser hair removal treatments are performed by skilled professionals using FDA-cleared equipment designed for safety and precision.
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
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.
At ABLC we want you to feel informed and confident before your first session. Here’s what to expect:
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.
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.
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.
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.

Ready to enjoy smoother skin without the hassle of shaving and waxing? Laser hair removal at ABLC Hanford offers safe, reliable results and a more confident you. Let our team help you simplify your routine with care you can count on.
Yes, laser hair removal can be safely performed on sensitive areas such as the bikini line, underarms, and face. Our providers use adjusted settings and gentle techniques to minimize discomfort in these areas. Many clients find treatments in sensitive zones to be surprisingly manageable.
Laser hair removal offers long-term reduction, but results can vary. Most patients experience permanent reduction in hair density, though occasional touch-up treatments may be needed. Hormonal changes can sometimes trigger new hair growth in previously treated areas.
We do not perform laser hair removal directly over tattooed skin, as the laser can react with the pigment. However, we can work around tattoos safely. Your provider will map out the treatment area carefully during your consultation.
It’s best to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to the treated area. This gives the skin time to calm down and reduces the risk of irritation. Stick to gentle, fragrance-free products once you resume your routine.
Yes, but extra precautions are needed. You must avoid sun exposure before and after treatment and wear high-SPF sunscreen daily. Tanned skin can increase the risk of complications, so it’s important to discuss timing with your provider.
Yes, many clients notice improved skin texture after laser hair removal. Without stubble, bumps, or irritation from shaving or waxing, your skin may feel softer and look more even. It can also reduce the appearance of enlarged pores in some cases.
Absolutely. Laser hair removal is popular with men looking to reduce hair on the back, chest, shoulders, and neck. It offers a cleaner look and reduces the need for frequent grooming.
It’s best to avoid intense workouts for 24 to 48 hours after your session. Sweating and heat can irritate the treated area and increase the risk of ingrown hairs or breakouts. Resume your regular routine once the skin has calmed down.
You should avoid tanning for at least two weeks after each session. Laser-treated skin is more sensitive and prone to damage from UV rays. Always use a broad-spectrum SPF when going outdoors.
Thanks to advancements in technology, most skin tones can now be safely treated. Our lasers are adjustable to suit different levels of melanin. A consultation helps determine the safest and most effective approach for your skin.
