Back Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal from the back is by far the most efficient of the options. A single session is only negligibly more expensive than having your back waxed, so a series of laser treatments is a no-brainer since it’s a one-off investment. No more hair, no more ingrowns, and no more hassle.

Aside from back laser hair removal, electrolysis is the only other treatment that gets rid of hair for the long term. However, unlike laser which targets multiple hairs at once, electrolysis is painstakingly slow. It’s not a realistic option for treating a large area like the back.

Additionally, laser has the benefit of being highly tolerable. Waxing, epilating, and electrolysis are all famously painful. While laser hair removal is not a walk in the park, it’s less painful than any of the other options, and the discomfort only lasts for 10-15 minutes of treatment.

Even though the back is a large area, a laser hair removal treatment usually goes by in less than 15 minutes.

During your first appointment, your technician will first go with you over the basic information you’ll need to know. They’ll also confirm that you’re a good candidate (since there are a few pre-treatment requirements and contraindications).

Once the laser technician confirms that you’re good to go, they’ll give you some privacy in the treatment room should you want that. Then, it’s just a matter of taking your shirt off and lying on your front in the treatment bed.

To ensure every section of your back is covered evenly, the technician will draw quadrants on your skin with a skin-safe white pencil. Then, they’ll work methodically, section by section, making sure not to miss a single hair.

The laser does sting a little as it hits the skin. The pain is comparable to getting stung by a rubber band, but each machine is equipped with a cool shot that gives immediate relief. As it is, the back is not a very sensitive area so most customers tolerate it just fine.
