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. 
3. We’ll answer any (and all!) questions you might have.  
4. Then we can set you up with your first Laser Hair Removal treatment at your nearest Chapter Studio!

You’ve scheduled your online consultation. Now what? Here’s what to expect: 

1. You’ll meet via Zoom with a Laser Hair Removal Specialist. The appointment typically takes about 30 minutes. 
2.  During your video call, you’ll discuss some basic background questions – what type of skin you have and any current or prior medical conditions. We’ll ask you about your goals – what area you’d like hair-free and the best package option for you. Additionally, we’ll discuss easy financing options (we have one to fit every budget!). 
3. Lastly, if you’re ready, we can book you for your first treatment! We can process your payment and get you set up for your first Laser Hair Removal session at your closest Chapter location.  
4. That’s it! The process is simple and painless (just like your treatment!).

How long laser hair removal lasts depends on a few factors including your hair type and color, skin type and things like hormonal changes and after care. In general, you can expect up to 95% permanent hair reduction after 6 treatments. Results vary by person, with some seeing permanent hair removal and others seeing hair removal that lasts up to a decade or more.  

Remember: You get unlimited touch-ups for life–guaranteed–with Chapter’s laser hair removal packages, so you don’t need to worry if a hair or two pops back up.    

Laser hair removal can provide more precise, targeted results and leave your skin undamaged while removing hair. These results can be longer-lasting than other methods and can save time and money in the long run. Other benefits of laser hair removal include minimal discomfort, improved skin texture, and a reduced risk of ingrown hairs.

At Chapter, we make laser hair removal work for your budget! Most guests take advantage of our interest-free financing — there is no hard credit pull to check for approval and it can be completed quickly during your online consult!  

Believe us, it’s totally worth it! (In the long run, you’ll save money from all the costly razors, shaving cream and waxes you have to buy now!).  

If you want a long-term solution for unwanted hair… you’re a good candidate for laser hair removal in our opinion. More seriously, laser hair removal is most effective on people with light skin and dark hair, but newer technologies have made it possible for people with different skin tones to receive treatment. It's important to consult with a medical professional to determine if laser hair removal is right for you. And you’ll be in good hands at Chapter, our team will assess if you’rea good candidate and give you their honest opinion! 

Common side effects of laser hair removal include redness, swelling, and mild discomfort in the treated area. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as blistering or scarring may occur, varying from person to person. It's important to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with your medical provider before treatment.

Laser hair removal can be used on almost any area of the body, including facial laser hair removal and laser hair removal on the legs, arms, underarms, back, and bikini area. Keep in mind that some areas are more sensitive to areas.

Not at Chapter! The lasers we use are designed for comfort.We hear things like, “I was SHOCKED, it was painless!” Becca K. and “I could take a nap!” Sara C. We promise, no tears will be shed (unless they’re tears of joy over your silky-smooth skin!)

Chapter’s signature process includes 6-8 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.  

You’ll notice results after just one treatment! After 6 treatments, you’ll graduate – and see up to 95% hair reduction!  

Yes, laser hair removal is considered a safe and effective treatment when performed by a trained and licensed medical professional such as Chapter’s experienced team. However, it's important to disclose any medical conditions or medications to the provider before receiving treatment.

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. Those with fine hair can be more difficult to treat with lasers, and very light or white hair usually doesn’t respond very well.

We offer a range of top-quality laser hair removal machines, including the innovative SPLENDOR X, the cutting-edge Motus AY, and the reliable LightSheer®. These state-of-the-art machines are designed to provide safe, effective, and long-lasting hair removal results for a variety of skin types and hair colors.

When considering laser hair removal, there are a few potential downsides to keep in mind. Three disadvantages of laser hair removal include the possibility of skin irritation or discoloration, the need for multiple treatments for optimal results, and the potential for the procedure to be quite expensive.

You’ll notice a difference after just one treatment! Every subsequent treatment continues to permanently stop hair growth. By the 6th treatment, you’ll be up to 95% hair free! 

Yes! Laser Hair Removal targets hair follicles, which permanently stops hair growth — any hairs that sneak back will be much finer. The best part is, with our UNLIMITED Packages, you can always pop in for a quick touch-up if you need one!
