Laser Hair Removal in Palm Beach County
Unwanted hair can be frustrating to deal with, whether it’s on your legs, underarms, bikini line, or face. Traditional hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, and threading are not only time-consuming but also come with discomfort, skin irritation, and the constant need for maintenance. That’s why more people are turning to laser hair removal in Palm Beach County for a long-term solution to smooth, hair-free skin.
At Refresh, we specialize in delivering the most effective laser hair removal treatments, helping clients achieve long-lasting results with minimal discomfort. Our commitment to providing top-tier service, advanced technology, and expert care has made us the leading choice for laser hair removal in Palm Beach County. Whether you’re looking for a more convenient alternative to shaving or want to eliminate ingrown hairs and razor burns, our treatments offer a safe, effective, and lasting solution.
Why Choose Laser Hair Removal Over Traditional Methods?
Shaving and waxing have been the go-to hair removal methods for years, but they come with numerous drawbacks. Shaving provides only short-term results, often leading to stubble and irritation within a day or two. Waxing may offer longer-lasting smoothness, but the pain, ingrown hairs, and need for continuous upkeep make it a hassle.
Laser hair removal, on the other hand, targets hair at the root, destroying follicles to significantly reduce hair growth over time. It’s a long-term investment that can save both time and money while providing smooth, irritation-free skin. With the right technology, laser hair removal can treat all skin types safely and effectively, eliminating the need for endless shaving or painful waxing appointments.

How Laser Hair Removal Works & Why Refresh Stands Out
Laser hair removal is one of the most effective ways to achieve smooth, hair-free skin without the constant hassle of shaving or waxing. But how does it work? At Refresh, we use the most advanced laser technology available—the Candela GentleMax Pro—to deliver safe, efficient, and long-lasting results.
The Science Behind Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal works by targeting the melanin (pigment) in hair follicles with highly concentrated light energy. The laser’s heat is absorbed by the hair shaft and follicle, destroying the root while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. Over a series of treatments, hair growth is significantly reduced, resulting in smoother skin with minimal maintenance. Hair grows in cycles, and laser treatments are most effective during the anagen (active growth) phase. Since not all hair follicles are in this phase at the same time, multiple sessions are required to achieve optimal results. At Refresh, we take laser hair removal a step further by using the Candela GentleMax Pro, a dual-wavelength system designed for maximum safety and effectiveness on all skin types.
Why Refresh Uses the Candela GentleMax Pro?
Not all laser hair removal devices are created equal. Many older lasers struggle to treat darker skin tones safely or lack the cooling technology needed for a comfortable experience. The Candela GentleMax Pro stands out as the industry’s gold standard, providing a superior experience for all clients.
Safe for All Skin Types
- Alexandrite 755nm laser: Ideal for lighter skin tones, providing precise and effective hair removal.
- Nd:YAG 1064nm laser: Designed for darker skin tones, ensuring safe treatment without the risk of hyperpigmentation or burns.
Dynamic Cooling Device™ for Comfort:
- Traditional laser hair removal methods can feel uncomfortable, often compared to the sensation of a rubber band snapping against the skin.
- The Candela GentleMax Pro minimizes discomfort with its Dynamic Cooling Device™, which sprays a cooling burst of cryogen milliseconds before each laser pulse. This cooling effect soothes the skin and reduces irritation, making treatments much more comfortable.
Faster and More Efficient Sessions
- The Candela GentleMax Pro is one of the fastest laser hair removal systems available, covering larger treatment areas in a shorter time.
- A session for small areas like the upper lip or underarms takes just a few minutes, while larger areas like legs or back can be completed in under 30 minutes.
More Than Just Hair Removal
- In addition to laser hair removal, the Candela GentleMax Pro is highly effective in treating sunspots, pigmentation issues, facial veins, and even improving skin texture and tightness.
- This means clients not only experience hair reduction but also enjoy brighter, clearer skin as an added benefit.
Step-by-Step Laser Hair Removal Process at Refresh
Personalized Consultation
- Every journey at Refresh begins with a one-on-one consultation with a laser hair removal specialist.
- Our experts assess your skin type, hair color, and medical history to determine the best treatment plan.
- We explain how the Candela GentleMax Pro works, what to expect, and how many sessions may be required.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
- Shaving: You’ll need to shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment to allow the laser to focus on the follicles rather than surface hair.
- Avoid Waxing & Tweezing: Since laser treatment targets the hair root, waxing or plucking should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks before your first session.
- Sun Protection: Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds before treatment to prevent skin irritation or complications.
- No Skincare Products: On the day of your session, the treatment area should be clean and free of lotions, perfumes, or oils.
The Laser Hair Removal Session
- Step into Comfort: You’ll relax in a comfortable treatment room, and your specialist will provide protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser.
- Candela GentleMax Pro in Action: The Dynamic Cooling Device™ releases a cool burst of cryogen just before each laser pulse, ensuring a comfortable experience.
- Fast & Precise Treatment: The laser is applied to the targeted areas, emitting light energy that penetrates the hair follicle.
- No Downtime: Clients can return to daily activities immediately after treatment with minimal redness or irritation.
Post-Treatment Care
- Cool & Hydrate: Apply aloe vera gel or a soothing cream to reduce redness or mild irritation.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) is essential to protect the skin and maintain results.
- No Heat Treatments: Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for 24-48 hours to prevent skin irritation.
- Shedding Period: Over the next 1-3 weeks, treated hair falls out naturally, revealing smoother skin.
- Follow-Up Treatments: Sessions are typically scheduled 4-6 weeks apart to target hair in different growth phases.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Laser hair removal at Refresh is effective for nearly every part of the body. Popular treatment areas include:
- Face: Upper lip, chin, jawline, sideburns
- Upper Body: Underarms, arms, shoulders, back, chest, abdomen
- Lower Body: Bikini line, Brazilian, thighs, legs, feet
- Men’s Grooming: Beard line, neck, back, chest, arms
With the Candela GentleMax Pro, clients achieve a smooth, flawless look with fewer sessions compared to outdated laser technologies.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Laser hair removal is a gradual process, and the number of sessions depends on hair type, skin color, and treatment area.
- Face & Underarms: Typically 6-8 sessions
- Legs & Bikini: Usually 6-10 sessions
- Back & Chest: May require 8-12 sessions
Some clients notice a significant reduction after just 2-3 treatments, but for maximum long-term results, a full series is recommended.
Long-Lasting Results & Maintenance
Unlike shaving or waxing, which provide temporary results, laser hair removal offers permanent hair reduction over time. Once a full treatment cycle is completed, most clients remain hair-free for months or even years.
- Reduced regrowth: Any remaining hair is typically finer and lighter.
- No more razor bumps or ingrown hairs.
- Smooth skin with minimal effort.
For optimal maintenance, some clients choose 1-2 touch-up sessions per year to maintain smooth, hair-free skin.

FAQs
Most clients notice hair reduction after the first session, with significant results appearing after 3-4 treatments. Hair falls out gradually over 1-3 weeks post-treatment. For optimal results, a full series of 6-10 sessions is recommended, depending on the area treated and individual hair growth cycles.
On average, 6-10 sessions are needed to achieve long-lasting results. Areas with thicker, coarser hair (like the bikini line or back) may require 8-12 treatments. Touch-ups once or twice a year help maintain smooth skin.
Laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth over time. Most clients experience 80-90% permanent hair reduction after completing their sessions. Any remaining hair is typically finer and lighter, making it less noticeable. Maintenance treatments may be needed annually.
Laser hair removal works best on dark hair because the laser targets melanin (pigment) in the follicle. Blonde, gray, white, or red hair does not respond well to laser treatment since it lacks sufficient pigment.
Yes! Shaving is allowed between treatments since it does not interfere with the laser’s ability to target the hair follicle. However, waxing, plucking, or tweezing should be avoided since they remove the root, making the laser treatment less effective.
Yes! The Candela GentleMax Pro is safe for all skin tones. It features Alexandrite (755nm) for lighter skin and Nd:YAG (1064nm) for darker skin, ensuring safety and effectiveness for all complexions.
Laser hair removal is suitable for sensitive skin. The Dynamic Cooling Device™ soothes the skin instantly before each laser pulse, minimizing discomfort. Some mild redness or irritation may occur but typically subsides within a few hours.
Side effects are minimal and temporary, including redness, slight swelling, or mild irritation, similar to a mild sunburn. These typically fade within a few hours to a day. Severe side effects are rare when treatments are performed by trained professionals.
It’s recommended to avoid excessive sun exposure before and after treatment, as tanned skin may be more sensitive. If you’ve recently tanned, your specialist may adjust the laser settings to ensure safety.
No, laser hair removal should not be performed over tattoos as the laser can affect the tattoo pigment. However, treatments can be done around the tattooed area with proper precautions.
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap, like a rubber band against the skin. The Candela GentleMax Pro’s cooling system reduces discomfort by delivering a cooling burst before each laser pulse, making treatments much more comfortable than waxing.
This cryogenic cooling system sprays a cool mist onto the skin before each laser pulse, significantly reducing heat sensation and discomfort. It enhances comfort, safety, and efficiency, making the experience nearly painless for most clients.
Yes, numbing cream can be applied for clients with low pain tolerance, but most people find it unnecessary due to the Candela GentleMax Pro’s cooling technology. If desired, numbing cream should be applied 30-45 minutes before the session.
Yes! Unlike waxing, which rips hair from the root, laser hair removal targets the follicle beneath the skin without pulling. It feels more like mild heat or a snapping sensation rather than the intense pain of waxing.
Most clients experience mild redness or warmth for a few hours post-treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. Applying aloe vera or a soothing moisturizer helps reduce discomfort quickly.
Session time depends on the treatment area:
- Small areas (upper lip, chin, underarms): 5-10 minutes
- Medium areas (bikini, arms, half legs): 20-30 minutes
- Large areas (full legs, back, chest): 45-60 minutes
Before your session:
- Shave the treatment area 24 hours prior.
- Avoid waxing, plucking, or tweezing for at least 4-6 weeks.
- Stay out of direct sunlight to prevent sensitivity.
- Avoid lotions, perfumes, or deodorants on the treated area.
- Apply aloe vera or a soothing cream for redness.
- Avoid sun exposure & use SPF 30+ on treated areas.
- Skip hot showers, saunas, and workouts for 24-48 hours.
- Do not wax or pluck hairs between sessions.
It’s best to wait 24 hours before applying makeup to allow the skin to calm down. If needed, use mineral-based, non-comedogenic products to avoid irritation.
Absolutely! While shaving and waxing require constant maintenance, laser hair removal provides long-term smoothness, fewer ingrown hairs, and lasting results. Over time, it’s also more cost-effective than repeated waxing appointments or buying razors and shaving creams.
This cryogenic cooling system sprays a cool mist onto the skin before each laser pulse, significantly reducing heat sensation and discomfort. It enhances comfort, safety, and efficiency, making the experience nearly painless for most clients.
