Laser Hair
Removal

You’re ready for smooth skin – so now what? Here’s a step-by-step look at what the process looks like: 

1. Book your appointment online here.  
2. Next, you’ll have a quick, 30-minute virtual consultation via Zoom with a Laser Hair Removal Specialist. Or, if you’d rather meet in person, our studio doors are always open. During your consultation, you’ll be asked some basic background questions. Then, we’ll align on your goals, review pricing and easy financing options and answer any questions you might have! 
3. After your consultation, it’s time to get smooth! If you have your consultation via Zoom, you can schedule your treatment over the phone. If you’ve completed the consultation in our studio, we can treat you directly after. 
4. Now it’s laser time! Once you’re at Chapter, our Laser Hair Removal Specialists will get you gowned up and ready. They’ll clean your targeted area, and then apply a cool jelly substance to it (most guests say this is the “hardest” part of the whole treatment because it can tickle/feel a little cold). Then, our experts will get to work. Most Laser Hair Removal treatments last between 15-30 minutes, depending on the area. 
5. All done! Since all of our packages include UNLIMITED treatments, you can schedule your next appointment and be on your way. 
6. We recommend avoiding direct sunlight and applying SPF to the treated area. Follow any other specific instructions from your provider. 
7. Most guests experience the best results between 8-10 treatments! 

It might seem counter-intuitive, but you’ll want to shave the area you’re getting laser hair removal on 24 hours before your treatment. A few other tips:

• Stay out of the sun for at least two weeks prior to your appointment.
• Don’t try any new skin products or use any products that irritate your skin.
• Clean the area that is being treated prior to your appointment.

Wear comfortable, loose clothing to your appointment. It’s time for you to put on those cool laser shades, sit back and let us do the work!  

Now you’re one smooth operator, but we’ve still got some post-care recommendations for you:

• Clean the treated area within 24 hours.
• Stay out of the sun as much as possible for the next month.
• Use recommended products as directed (we’ll give you all the best reccos).
• Enjoy your smooth skin!

It’s as simple as 1-2-3-smooth!  

1. Schedule your 30-minute virtual appointment online, here.  
2. You’ll meet with one of our specialists via Zoom who will ask you some basic background questions, discuss our Unlimited Laser Hair Packages and easy financing options, and explain the process.

Laser hair removal works by damaging your hair follicle, and in turn, stopping the growth of hair. The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, allowing hair to absorb the light and heat up. As it heats up, the hair shaft and bulb are damaged, making it so they cannot re-grow. The technology used for laser hair removal allows for treatments of all different areas, hair colors, skin types, and skin tones. The best candidates for hair removal have dark, coarse hair and fair skin. Laser hair removal for dark skin requires different lasers to avoid causing discoloration of the skin.
