Understanding Laser Hair Removal: How It Works and What to Expect

Still waxing every few weeks? There’s a better way—and it starts right here at PeachFuzz Laser.

If you're over the endless cycle of shaving, waxing, bumps, and irritation, we get it. The nicks, the ingrowns, and the wasted time? Been there. Laser hair removal is the smoother, smarter alternative—and it’s a total game-changer for anyone ready to level up their routine.

At PeachFuzz Laser Studio, we proudly offer expert Brooklyn laser hair removal services tailored for all skin types, with a special focus on safely treating richly melanated skin. Here's everything you need to know before your first session.

How It Works

Laser hair removal uses concentrated beams of light to target and destroy hair follicles beneath the skin’s surface. The pigment (melanin) in the hair absorbs this energy, heating the follicle just enough to slow or stop future growth. It’s precise, powerful, and long-lasting.

We use top-tier technology like the Nd:YAG laser, which is specially designed to safely treat deeper skin tones without damaging surrounding tissue. This means even clients with dark, coarse hair can experience safe, effective results. With multiple sessions, hair becomes finer, grows slower, and eventually stops altogether—revealing smoother, silkier skin.

What to Expect During Your Session

Here’s what a typical visit to PeachFuzz Laser looks like:

  1. Consultation – Every appointment starts with a quick consultation. We’ll chat about your goals, assess your skin type, and build a treatment plan designed just for you.
  2. Prep – The area being treated will be cleaned and, if needed, shaved. (Shaving helps the laser target the follicle more effectively.)
  3. Comfort – An icepack may be applied to keep your skin comfortable.
  4. Treatment – The laser process begins! You may feel quick zaps similar to tiny rubber band snaps, but nothing unbearable. Our licensed technicians will talk you through each step to make sure you feel confident and cared for.
  5. Aftercare – Once your session is complete, we’ll clean the area and apply a soothing lotion to calm the skin.

Depending on the area being treated, sessions typically take less than an hour.

Aftercare: SPF is Your New BFF

After your session, proper aftercare is key to glowing results and happy skin. Here’s what we recommend:

  • SPF 30+ is essential – Laser-treated skin is more sensitive to sun exposure. Daily sunscreen helps prevent irritation and hyperpigmentation.
  • Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for 24–48 hours.
  • Skip harsh products – No scrubs, acids, or exfoliants for at least a week. Stick to gentle cleansers and moisturizers.
  • Cool it down – Aloe vera or a cold compress helps soothe any sensitivity.
  • Stay hydrated – Healthy skin starts from within.

Laser hair removal is an investment in yourself—and it’s worth every session. Over time, hair growth slows and then stops, leaving you with smoother skin and more freedom in your routine.
