What is laser hair removal and how does it work?

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target the melanin (pigment) in hair follicles. The laser heats and damages the follicle during its active growth phase, reducing future hair growth. Over a series of sessions, most patients see significant, long-lasting hair reduction. At RELUXE, we use the Triton by InMode, a three-wavelength laser with built-in cooling for comfort.

How much does laser hair removal cost at RELUXE?

Pricing is by area size: small areas like the upper lip or chin are $100 a session, standard areas like underarms or bikini $250, large areas like a Brazilian, lower legs, or full back $450, and full legs $750. Buy 5 sessions of an area and get 3 free, add a second area at the same visit for 50% off, or choose Truly Unlimited — every area, unlimited sessions for 18 months — at $5,000. Members save 10% on laser packages. Your provider confirms your plan and total at a free consultation.

Where can I get laser hair removal near me?

RELUXE offers laser hair removal with the Triton at both of our locations: Westfield (514 E State Road 32, near Grand Park) and Carmel (10485 N Pennsylvania St, off US-31 at 106th Street). Patients come to us from Noblesville, Fishers, Zionsville, and north Indianapolis. Westfield is open Thursdays until 7pm and Saturdays 9am–3pm for after-work and weekend sessions.

How many laser hair removal sessions do I need?

Most areas require 6-10+ sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles, and the laser only treats follicles in the active growth phase (about 20-30% at any given time). That's why multiple sessions are needed to catch all follicles. Hormonal areas like chin and bikini may need additional sessions.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Most patients describe it as brief snaps with warmth — like a rubber band flick. Our devices have built-in cooling tips that significantly improve comfort. Pain tolerance varies by area: underarms and bikini tend to be more sensitive, while legs and back are very tolerable. Numbing cream is available but rarely needed.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal delivers long-term hair reduction, not guaranteed permanent removal. Most patients see 70-90% reduction after a full series. Some follicles may go dormant and reactivate due to hormones, aging, or new growth cycles. Occasional maintenance sessions (1-2 per year) keep results smooth.

What areas can laser hair removal treat?

We treat virtually any area: face (upper lip, chin, sideburns), underarms, bikini (including Brazilian), legs (full or partial), arms, back, chest, abdomen, shoulders, and neck. Area size affects treatment time — upper lip takes about 5 minutes while full legs can take 30-45 minutes.

Is laser hair removal safe for dark skin?

Yes — with the right device and settings. We use the Triton by InMode laser, whose Duo Dark handpiece and 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength are designed for deeper skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI). Your provider adjusts wavelength and energy to your skin type and performs a test spot on darker skin tones before full treatment, so all skin tones can be treated safely and effectively.

What laser does RELUXE use for hair removal?

We use the Triton by InMode — a multi-wavelength laser that fires Alexandrite (755nm), Diode (810nm), and Nd:YAG (1064nm) energy. It pairs a Duo Light handpiece for lighter skin (Fitzpatrick I–III) with a Duo Dark handpiece for deeper skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI), and built-in cooling keeps sessions comfortable. This is true medical-grade laser hair removal, not IPL.

What is the downtime after laser hair removal?

There's essentially no downtime. You may have mild redness and follicular bumps (like a light sunburn) for a few hours to one day. You can return to work and normal activities immediately. Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and intense exercise for 24-48 hours. Wear SPF on treated areas exposed to sun.

How do I prepare for laser hair removal?

Shave the treatment area 12-24 hours before your appointment — do not wax, pluck, or thread for at least 4 weeks prior (the follicle must be intact). Avoid self-tanner and significant sun exposure for 2 weeks before. Arrive with clean skin, free of lotions and deodorant on the treatment area.

When will I see results from laser hair removal?

Treated hairs don't fall out immediately. Over 7-14 days, you'll notice "shedding" — treated hairs push out and fall away (they look like tiny pepper spots). After each session, you'll see progressively less regrowth. Most patients notice significant reduction after 3-4 sessions.

Can I shave between laser hair removal sessions?

Yes — shaving is the only approved hair removal method between sessions. Do not wax, tweeze, or thread, as these methods remove the hair follicle that the laser needs to target. Shaving is fine because it cuts hair at the surface without affecting the root.

What is the difference between laser hair removal and IPL for hair?

A laser delivers specific, concentrated wavelengths that target the follicle more precisely than IPL, which scatters broad-spectrum light. For hair removal that generally means more consistent reduction, and the Triton's Nd:YAG wavelength makes laser the safer choice for deeper skin tones. At-home IPL devices are far less powerful than what we use in-clinic. Results vary by individual.

About This Treatment

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal at RELUXE uses the Triton by InMode laser to deliver concentrated light energy directly into the hair follicle, where melanin — the pigment that gives hair its color — absorbs that energy as heat. That heat damages the follicle during its active growth phase, significantly reducing its ability to produce new hair. Because the laser targets pigment rather than surrounding tissue, it leaves the skin itself largely unaffected. Built-in cooling makes modern treatments far more comfortable than older technology, and lets your provider treat everything from small facial areas to the full body in a single visit.

Hair grows in cycles, and only about 20-30% of follicles are in the active growth phase at any given time — which is why laser hair removal requires a series of sessions rather than a single treatment. Most patients complete 6-10 sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart, depending on the area. Over the course of that series, you can typically expect 70-90% hair reduction. Common treatment areas include the face (upper lip, chin, sideburns), underarms, bikini and Brazilian, legs, arms, back, chest, and abdomen. Patients in Westfield, Carmel, and throughout the Hamilton County area visit RELUXE for both targeted single-area treatments and full-body packages built around their schedule and goals.

Why Choose

RELUXE

Triton by InMode — three wavelengths, every skin tone

We use the Triton by InMode, a medical-grade platform that puts three hair-removal wavelengths in one device: Alexandrite (755nm), Diode (810nm), and Nd:YAG (1064nm). Why that matters: many lasers use a single wavelength, so every patient gets fitted to the machine. The Triton fires two wavelengths together in one pulse, which lets a single pass reach follicles at different depths — from finer facial hair to coarse, deep-rooted hair on the legs and back. The Duo Light handpiece pairs Alexandrite and Diode for lighter skin (Fitzpatrick I–III); the Duo Dark handpiece pairs Diode with Nd:YAG, which is less absorbed by surface pigment, for deeper skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI). Built-in cooling keeps sessions comfortable. Your provider matches the settings to your skin and hair, and performs a test spot on darker skin tones before a full session.

Flexible treatment plans

We offer three ways to build your series: pay-as-you-go for targeted touch-ups, Buy 5 Get 3 area packages for a single focused zone, or our Truly Unlimited 18-month package at $5,000 for full-body coverage with no restrictions on area or session count. Your provider will help you match the right plan to your goals and budget.

Experienced, licensed providers

Every session is performed by a trained laser technician who documents your settings, tracks your progress across your series, and adjusts parameters as your hair responds to treatment. You'll see consistent providers who know your history and know when to dial treatment up or keep it conservative.
