Hair Removal Treatments to Eliminate Unwanted Hair and Prevent Ingrowns

Unwanted body and facial hair can be frustrating — especially when it leads to ingrown hairs, razor burn, or constant maintenance. At Skin Care Institute, we use medical-grade laser hair removal technology to target and permanently reduce hair growth at the follicle level.

Our treatments are safe, fast, and effective on multiple areas, including the legs, bikini line, underarms, back, chest, and face. Best of all, laser hair removal helps eliminate the root causes of ingrown hairs and reduces the need for daily shaving or waxing.

What to Expect from Your Hair Removal for Unwanted, Excess or Ingrown Hair

1–3 Days

You may experience mild redness or a slight warming sensation similar to a sunburn in the treated area. These effects are temporary and usually resolve within 24–72 hours.

✓ Mild redness or sensitivity
✓ Treated hair begins to shed
✓ No downtime — normal activities can resume immediately

4–10 Days

The treated hairs begin to shed naturally. Skin feels smoother, and you may notice reduced irritation or bumps in areas previously affected by ingrowns.

✓ Gradual shedding of treated hair
✓ Less friction and fewer ingrown hairs
✓ Skin begins to feel clearer and more even

3–6 Weeks

New hair growth is slower, finer, and thinner. Each session builds upon the last, resulting in continued hair reduction and smoother skin.

✓ Noticeably reduced hair regrowth
✓ Fewer or no ingrown hairs in treated areas
✓ Reduced need for shaving or waxing

3–6 Months+

With a full series of treatments, long-term reduction is achieved. Most patients see an 80–90% permanent hair reduction in treated areas.

✓ Long-lasting smoothness
✓ Minimal maintenance required
✓ Freedom from daily hair removal routines
