If you're tired of regularly shaving, waxing, or plucking your hair, laser hair removal may be the perfect service for you. AtThe Glow Clinic Medical Spa in Bellevue, WA, we offer advanced laser hair removal treatments to help you achieve smooth, hair-free skin. With minimal discomfort and long-lasting results, laser hair removal is one of the most convenient ways to reduce unwanted hair and enjoy the confidence of soft, touchable skin.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Lasers target the hair follicles with concentrated light energy absorbed by the hair pigment. The energy damages the follicle, slowing down or preventing future hair growth. The treatment effectively reduces hair on the legs, underarms, face, bikini line, and more.
Multiple sessions are usually required to achieve full results. Most clients notice significantly less hair growth after just a few treatments, making this a popular choice for long-term hair removal solutions.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
- Long-lasting results: Many clients experience permanent hair reduction in the treated areas after a series of treatments.
- Smoother skin: Unlike shaving, which can leave skin irritated and bumpy, laser hair removal promotes softer, smoother skin.
- Minimal discomfort: With advanced technology, most clients feel only a mild snapping sensation during treatment, and any post-treatment redness usually subsides within a few hours.
- Versatility: Laser hair removal is effective on almost any body part, from large areas like the legs and back to small, delicate areas like the upper lip or bikini line.
- Time-saving: No more daily or weekly shaving! Once your treatment is complete, you'll save time and effort with long-lasting, smooth skin.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Your laser hair removal sessions at The Glow Clinic Medical Spa are designed with your comfort and safety in mind. Each session typically lasts between 20-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Most clients report minimal discomfort, often described as a light snapping or warming sensation.
After your treatment, you may experience slight redness or sensitivity in the treated area, like a mild sunburn, which typically fades within a few hours. There is no downtime, so you can return to your daily activities right away. It's important to follow aftercare instructions, including avoiding sun exposure on the treated areas.
Most clients require six to eight sessions spaced weeks apart for the best results, as the laser is most impactful when the hair is in the active growth phase. However, after completing your sessions, you can enjoy long-lasting hair reduction.

Complications of Laser Hair Removal
The most common complication of laser hair removal is the regrowth of the unwanted hair. Frequently, however, the hair that regrows is finer and lighter than the hair that was removed. Usually, regrowth can be addressed with a few additional treatment sessions. Other complications that may arise after laser hair treatment include skin irritation such as blistering and crusting; changes in pigmentation or texture of the skin; and scarring at the removal site.
