Get Your Skin Summer Ready with Laser Hair Removal

There’s something about the shift in seasons that gets us thinking about renewal. As we start shedding the layers and embracing sleeveless tops, shorts, and beachwear, one thing quickly rises to the top of the self-care list—smooth, hair-free skin. The idea of constantly shaving, waxing, or plucking can feel like an exhausting chore, especially when the sunshine is calling. That’s where laser hair removal steps in as the game-changer.

At Pommier Med Spa, we know that prepping your skin for summer goes beyond moisturizers and sunscreen. If you’re looking for lasting smoothness and the freedom to enjoy every sunny moment without worrying about body hair, now is the perfect time to start your laser hair removal journey. We’ve invested in the gold standard of technology—the Candela GentleMax Pro—to ensure safe, effective, and comfortable treatment for all skin types.

The Smooth-Skin Upgrade You Didn’t Know You Needed

Laser hair removal has become more than just a beauty trend—it’s a lifestyle upgrade. If you’ve ever dealt with razor burn, ingrown hairs, or the hassle of frequent waxing appointments, you already know how much time and discomfort can go into basic grooming. Laser hair removal gives you that time back.

By targeting hair follicles at the root, our treatments prevent regrowth with incredible precision. And because the Candela GentleMax Pro is suitable for a wide range of skin tones and hair textures, nearly everyone can enjoy the benefits. Whether you’re after underarm smoothness, fuzz-free legs, or a clean bikini line, the results speak for themselves.

Why the Candela GentleMax Pro Is a Cut Above

Not all laser systems are created equal. What sets the Candela GentleMax Pro apart is its dual-wavelength technology, combining two laser types—755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd: YAG. This powerful combination allows us to personalize treatments for each individual’s skin tone and hair type, something older machines simply can’t match.

It’s more than a technical feature—it’s the reason so many people finally see the long-term results they’ve been promised. The Alexandrite laser works wonders on lighter skin tones and fine hair, while the Nd: YAG laser is optimized for deeper skin tones and coarser hair. That means safe, effective treatment across the full spectrum of skin types—no compromises.

Fast, Comfortable, and Built for Real Life

One of the most common concerns we hear is whether laser hair removal hurts. It’s a fair question—and we’re proud to say that thanks to Candela’s Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD), the answer is: not much at all. This built-in technology releases a quick burst of cooling cryogen before and after each laser pulse, reducing discomfort significantly. Most of our clients describe it as a mild snap or a light rubber band pop, and many are surprised by how easy it is.

Even better, the system uses larger spot sizes, meaning we can treat more surface area in less time. That makes the entire session quicker—from legs to back to arms, we can get you in and out without a full afternoon commitment. For anyone with a busy schedule (and who isn’t?), this is a major plus.

Treat More, Shave Less: Areas We Can Target

Laser hair removal isn’t limited to just one or two areas. With the Candela GentleMax Pro, we can effectively treat:

• Underarms
• Legs (full or partial)
• Arms
• Bikini line and Brazilian
• Chest
• Chin, lip, sideburns, and jawline
• Neck and nape

Each area is mapped and treated carefully to ensure full coverage and even results. Many of our clients start with one area and eventually come back for more once they see the benefits. There’s something incredibly liberating about not needing to grab a razor before a last-minute pool invite or vacation.

Who’s a Good Candidate? (Spoiler: Probably You)

If you’re wondering whether laser hair removal is right for you, chances are—it is. Thanks to the dual wavelengths built into the GentleMax Pro, we can treat all Fitzpatrick skin types, from the lightest to the darkest tones. That means more people than ever can enjoy the benefits of laser hair removal without compromising on safety or effectiveness.

That said, laser hair removal works best on dark, coarse hairs, and results can vary slightly depending on hair density, hormonal factors, and the area being treated. The best way to know for sure? Book a consultation with our trained specialists who will assess your goals and recommend a plan designed just for you.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your first appointment begins with a thorough consultation where we discuss your goals, medical history, and what you can expect from the treatment process. We’ll also determine how many sessions you may need. Most patients require between 6 to 8 treatments spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results.

Each session is relatively quick, depending on the size of the treatment area. For example, a small area like the underarms might take just 15 minutes, while legs or a full back could take closer to an hour. Our team ensures you’re comfortable the entire time, and there’s no significant downtime afterward. You can go about your day—just avoid direct sun exposure and follow a few simple aftercare tips we’ll provide.

Your Path to Smooth Skin Starts Now

Because laser hair removal works by targeting hairs in the active growth phase, multiple treatments are necessary to catch each follicle at the right time. That’s why starting now is so important. Waiting until summer means you’ll likely still be in the middle of your sessions when you’d rather be showing off your results.

Getting started today sets you up for smooth, radiant skin right in time for all the outdoor fun ahead—barbecues, boat days, and beach getaways included. Think of it as investing in yourself and making your summer beauty routine as low-maintenance as possible.

Common Questions, Real Answers

How long until I see results?

You may notice a reduction in hair growth after the first session, but most clients see significant improvement after 3 to 4 treatments. Full results typically appear after completing the full series. Keep in mind that consistency is key—sticking to your scheduled appointments allows us to target hair during the optimal growth phase. Everyone’s hair growth cycle is different, so results can vary slightly, but we’ll guide you through what to expect along the way.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

While results are long-lasting, some fine regrowth may happen over time. Occasional maintenance sessions can help keep skin smooth indefinitely. Many clients enjoy years of reduced growth and often only need a quick touch-up every so often. It’s a highly effective long-term solution compared to shaving or waxing, and over time, you’ll notice less hair, finer texture, and slower regrowth.

Can I shave between sessions?

Yes! In fact, shaving is encouraged before each appointment. However, waxing or plucking should be avoided since these methods remove the hair root, which the laser needs to target. Shaving keeps the follicle intact, allowing the laser to do its job effectively. If you’re unsure how to prep for your appointment, we’ll provide you with easy pre-treatment guidelines to follow.

Does it work on light hair?

Laser hair removal is most effective on dark hair. Light blonde, red, or gray hair may not respond as well, but we’ll evaluate your unique hair type during your consultation. Newer technology, like the Candela GentleMax Pro, offers improved results for a wider range of hair types than older systems. If laser hair removal isn’t the best match, we’ll help you explore other treatment options to achieve your skincare goals.

Is there any downtime?

There’s no real downtime. You might experience minor redness or sensitivity that usually resolves within a few hours. Most clients return to their normal activities the same day, and any discomfort is minimal and temporary. We’ll give you post-care instructions to protect and soothe your skin, and we’re always here if you have questions after your appointment.
