What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to selectively target and destroy hair follicles beneath the skin’s surface. The laser’s energy is absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair, heating the follicle and disabling its ability to produce new hair growth, all without damaging the surrounding skin.
At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every laser hair removal session uses the Cynosure Elite+ platform with built-in SmartSense™ technology. This advanced sensor predicts the safest and most effective energy level for your specific skin tone, dramatically reducing burn risk while maximizing hair reduction. Most areas can be treated in just minutes.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
The laser hair removal process follows a straightforward, well-proven protocol:
- Dr. Avaliani evaluates your skin type, hair color, and treatment areas to create your personalized laser plan
- The treatment area is shaved and cleaned, then the Cynosure Elite+ laser is calibrated to your skin using SmartSense™
- Laser energy targets melanin in active hair follicles, heating and disabling them without harming surrounding skin
- Treated hairs shed naturally over 1-2 weeks as the disabled follicles release their hair shafts
- Over 4-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, progressive hair reduction reaches 80-90% permanent reduction
Treatment Areas

Upper lip, chin, sideburns, jawline, and full neck. These small areas are among the most popular for laser hair removal, with quick sessions taking just a few minutes for a smooth, hair-free complexion.

Chest & Back
Full chest, upper back, lower back, and shoulders. Large areas are treated quickly with the Cynosure Elite+: the full back can be completed in under 10 minutes for a clean, smooth result.
Legs
Half legs, full legs, inner thighs, and outer thighs. Say goodbye to razor burn, ingrown hairs, and time-consuming shaving routines with progressive laser reduction for permanently smooth legs.

Our Laser Hair Removal Technologies
Dr. Avaliani’s practice features the most advanced laser platforms for safe, effective hair removal across all skin types:
Cynosure Elite+
The gold standard in laser hair removal featuring dual-wavelength Alexandrite (755nm) and Nd:YAG (1064nm) lasers in one platform. The built-in SmartSense™ sensor automatically calibrates the safest energy level for your skin tone, making it safe and effective for all skin types and hair colors.
Alexandrite 755nm
The preferred wavelength for lighter skin types (Fitzpatrick I-IV). Alexandrite lasers offer the fastest treatment speeds and highest melanin absorption, making them exceptionally effective for fine and light-colored hair. Ideal for face, arms, legs, and bikini areas.
Nd:YAG 1064nm
The safest wavelength for darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV-VI). The longer 1064nm wavelength bypasses surface melanin to target hair follicles deeper in the skin, dramatically reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation or burns on dark and tanned skin.

Painless Laser Hair Removal frequently asked questions
What makes Dr. Avaliani’s laser different from other hair removal lasers?
Dr. Avaliani uses the Cynosure Elite+ with SmartSense™ technology, which features a built-in sensor that automatically predicts the safest and most effective energy level for your specific skin tone. This dramatically reduces burn risk while maximizing hair reduction. The dual-wavelength system (Alexandrite 755nm and Nd:YAG 1064nm) treats all skin types and hair colors safely.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction. After completing the recommended 4-6 sessions, most patients experience 80-90% permanent reduction. Some hair may regrow over time, but it is typically much finer, lighter, and slower-growing. Periodic maintenance sessions, typically once or twice a year, keep the area smooth and hair-free.
How many sessions will I need?
On average, 4-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are needed to treat one area. This is because only 15-20% of hair follicles are in the active growth phase (anagen) during each session, the phase when the laser is most effective. Multiple sessions ensure all follicles are treated during their active cycle.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
With the Cynosure Elite+ and its integrated cooling system, most patients describe the sensation as a mild snap or brief warming feeling. It is significantly less painful than waxing. Pro-Nox™ nitrous oxide is available for patients who prefer additional comfort, though most find it unnecessary. Sensitive areas like the bikini line are well tolerated.
What areas can be treated?
Virtually any area of the body with unwanted hair. Common areas include: face (upper lip, chin, sideburns, jawline), neck, underarms, arms, chest, back, shoulders, abdomen, bikini and Brazilian, legs (half or full), and even small areas like fingers, toes, nipples, and ears.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
Absolutely no downtime. You can resume all regular activities immediately after your session. The skin may appear slightly pink or flushed with raised follicles (a sign of effective treatment), which typically subsides within a few hours. Avoid direct sun exposure and apply SPF to treated areas between sessions.
Is laser hair removal safe for dark skin?
Yes. The Cynosure Elite+ features the Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength specifically designed for darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV-VI). This longer wavelength bypasses surface melanin to target the hair follicle safely. Combined with SmartSense™ calibration, dark-skinned patients can achieve excellent results with minimal risk of hyperpigmentation or burns.
How should I prepare for my laser hair removal session?
Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment. Do not wax, pluck, or use depilatory creams for at least 4 weeks prior, as the laser needs the hair root intact to be effective. Avoid direct sun exposure and self-tanners for 2 weeks before treatment. Arrive with clean skin free of lotions, deodorant, or makeup on the treatment area.
Why choose laser over waxing?
Laser hair removal provides permanent reduction versus temporary removal with waxing. After completing your sessions, you save significant time and money long-term by eliminating the need for ongoing waxing appointments. Laser also eliminates ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and skin irritation. The Cynosure Elite+ makes sessions fast and nearly painless.
Are there any contraindications?
Laser hair removal is not recommended during pregnancy, for patients with a history of skin cancer in the treatment area, those receiving radiation therapy to the area, or patients with active infection or trauma in the treatment zone. During your consultation, Dr. Avaliani will review your medical history to ensure laser hair removal is safe and appropriate for you.
