How Does Laser Hair Removal Works?
The laser used at Northwest Face & Body has multiple settings, so treatment can be adjusted for different skin tones and hair types in the same visit, along with a cooling feature that keeps each pass comfortable. Here’s what happens beneath the skin during a session.
- At the first treatment, the hair should be visible on the surface of the skin.
- The laser directs light energy onto the hair, which travels down through the hair shaft.
- The heat weakens or disables the follicle, so it detaches from the base of the hair shaft.
- The hair sheds, and without an active follicle, hair will not regrow in that area.

Laser hair removal may not be ideal for people with white, gray, red or very light blonde hair due to limited melanin. This treatment may also need to be postponed during pregnancy, active tanning or recent self-tanner use. Treatment may also be delayed with recent isotretinoin use, open infections, tattoos in the treatment area or certain photosensitizing medications.

Laser vs Shaving, Waxing, Electrolysis, and At-Home Devices
Each hair removal method has its own trade-offs. Here’s how laser hair removal stacks up against the alternatives.
Method | Lasts | Pain | Best for | Limit |
Laser (clinic) | Long-term reduction | Snap | Pigmented hair, large areas | Needs a series; light hair poor |
Waxing | 3–6 weeks | High | Quick clear | Hair must grow back |
Shaving | Days | Low | Anywhere | Ingrowns, stubble |
Electrolysis | True permanence | Higher, follicle-by-follicle | Blonde/gray/white | Slow on large areas |
At-home IPL/laser | Modest | Variable | Maintenance | Weaker, higher burn risk if misused |
At-home devices are not a substitute for a professional laser. In-clinic treatment is stronger and adjusted to each patient’s skin and hair by a licensed master esthetician, which makes it a more reliable option than a one-setting-fits-all device used at home.

Patient Testimonial
The best priced laser hair removal service in Seattle. I have done two rounds of their package (4 treatments) and saw significant reduction in hair growth and thickness. Would totally suggest this over waxing. More economical and less painful.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does laser hair removal cost in Kirkland and Bellevue?
Pricing runs by area size: $99 for underarms, $99 to $119 for a small area such as the lip or chin, $299 for a medium area, and $429 for a large area, each covering a 4-treatment package.
How many sessions will I need?
Four sessions make up the starter package, but six to eight sessions is typical for fuller, longer-lasting reduction. Dense areas such as the face or Brazilian usually need more than four.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Most patients describe it as a warm pinch or a rubber-band snap. A cooling handpiece runs alongside the laser to keep the sensation manageable.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
The FDA clears laser hair removal for permanent hair reduction, not permanent removal. Most patients see a lasting drop in hair density and need only occasional maintenance afterward.
Does it work on blonde or gray hair?
Usually not well, since these hair colors carry too little melanin for the laser to target. Darker hair in the underarm or bikini area sometimes responds even when hair elsewhere is lighter.
Is it safe for dark skin?
Yes, laser hair removal can be safe for darker skin when the treatment is properly customized. A patch test can help determine how the skin is likely to respond before a full session.
Can I shave between sessions?
Yes. Shaving is fine between sessions; waxing or plucking is not, since the laser needs the hair root intact to target it.
How long does a session take?
Anywhere from about 10 minutes for a small area like the underarms to roughly 60 minutes for a large area such as the legs.
What should I avoid before treatment?
Sun exposure, self-tanner, waxing or plucking for at least four weeks, and any retinoids or acids on the treatment area if instructed otherwise by the esthetician.
Do you treat Brazilian and facial hair?
Yes. Both are among the most requested treatment areas, each performed in a private treatment room.
Is it safe if I have a tattoo in the area?
Laser hair removal can affect a tattoo within the treatment field, so this should be discussed at the consultation before scheduling.
Who performs laser hair removal at Northwest Face & Body?
Licensed master estheticians perform every session, trained under the guidance of board-certified plastic surgeons.
