Is Laser Hair Removal Worth It? What You Need To Know Before Booking:
If you’ve been stuck in the endless cycle of shaving, waxing, or threading, you’ve probably asked yourself:
“Is laser hair removal really worth it?”
At Davi Aesthetics in Midtown Atlanta, this is one of the most common questions we hear — and honestly, it’s a great one.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of how laser hair removal works, who it’s for, and why it might be the beauty investment that pays you back in both time and skin confidence.
Here’s what you need to know before booking your first session.
It’s Not Just Cosmetic — It’s a Lifestyle Upgrade
Laser hair removal isn’t just about smooth skin (although you’ll get that too). It’s about:
Saving time every week on shaving or waxing
Preventing painful ingrown hairs and razor bumps
Feeling confident in your skin — all year long
Our clients often say they wish they had started sooner.
💡 How It Works at Davi Aesthetics
Laser hair removal targets the pigment (melanin) inside your hair follicles using focused beams of light. That energy travels down the shaft of the hair and destroys the follicle at its root — permanently reducing its ability to regrow.
At Davi Aesthetics, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, the newest generation of FDA-cleared laser technology. It combines Alexandrite (755 nm) and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) wavelengths, which allows us to safely treat all skin tones — from very fair to deeply melanated — with precision and comfort.
Each pulse of light is paired with Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD) technology, which sprays a burst of cryogen before the laser fires to protect your skin and reduce discomfort.
Each session targets the root of the hair, slowing regrowth by 30–35% per treatment.
Anyone tired of shaving or waxing
People with coarse or dark hair (but fine hair can respond well too)
All genders and all skin tones — yes, really!
If you’re prone to ingrown hairs, irritation, or dark marks, this treatment is a game-changer
You’ll need to avoid sun exposure before and after, and a consultation is required for all new clients.
⏳ How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Laser hair removal is not a one-time treatment — hair grows in cycles (anagen, catagen, telogen), and the laser only works on hairs in the active growth phase (anagen). That's why multiple treatments are needed.
Face areas: every 4–6 weeks
Body areas: every 6–8 weeks
Most clients see 60–90% permanent hair reduction after 6–8 sessions
You’ll start noticing slower growth, patchy regrowth, and thinner, finer hair after just a couple of sessions.
📍 Why Choose Davi Aesthetics?
The beauty of modern laser technology is that it’s for almost everyone — but especially ideal if:
You struggle with ingrown hairs, razor burn, or skin irritation from shaving
You want to permanently reduce hair in areas like the underarms, bikini, legs, back, or face
You have a busy lifestyle and want to save time long-term
You’re looking for a safe and effective alternative to waxing or sugaring
We always do a test patch and consultation before starting to ensure your skin responds well
“After one session, I already saw a difference in how fast the hair grew back. I have zero razor bumps now. The experience was fast and surprisingly comfortable!”
🛑 What to Avoid Before and After Treatment
To get the best results and prevent irritation, here’s what we recommend:
Before:
Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds 2 weeks before
Shave the area the night before (no waxing or plucking)
Skip retinoids, exfoliants, and actives 2–3 days prior
After:
Stay out of the sun for at least a few days post-treatment
Avoid saunas, hot tubs, and workouts for 24–48 hours
Moisturize the area with a soothing, fragrance-free lotion
Use SPF daily (non-negotiable!)
We’ll give you a full aftercare sheet after each session tailored to your skin.
Is It Worth the Investment?
Let’s break it down:
Waxing Brazilian: $65–$90 every 4 weeks → ~$1,000/year
Shaving daily: Time, razors, irritation, ingrown hairs → priceless frustration
Laser: 6–8 sessions, permanent reduction → smooth skin for years
The cost might feel higher up front, but it pays off long-term in money, confidence, and convenience. And at Davi Aesthetics, our pricing is competitive — with zero-pressure consultations and package discounts available.
