Laser Hair Removal
Remove excess or unwanted hair with advanced laser hair reduction treatments at Vein Centers of Connecticut. Our hair reduction laser systems safely target hair follicles to help both women and men reduce body hair over a series of treatments.
Common treatment areas include the face, arms, underarms, chest, back, bikini area and legs.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Many factors influence the growth of hair, such as age, ethnicity, hormones and certain medications. Hair also grows in cycles, which is why most patients require a series of treatments to achieve optimal results.
Laser hair reduction is achieved by passing laser light over the desired area. The laser delivers an intense beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. The light is converted to heat and helps damage the follicle, reducing the amount of hair that grows in the treated area over time.
Why Do We Use Candela Laser Technology?
At Vein Centers of Connecticut, we use advanced Candela® laser systems, including the GentleLASE® and GentleYAG®, to provide safe, effective laser hair reduction for a wide range of skin types and treatment areas. These industry-leading systems combine powerful laser technology with a built-in cooling device to help maximize comfort. This allows us to deliver precise treatment with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.
Personalized Treatment for Different Skin Types
Because every patient is different, our providers select the laser technology best suited to your skin type, hair color and treatment area. GentleLASE® is commonly used for lighter skin types, while GentleYAG® is designed to safely treat darker skin types. This personalized approach allows us to customize treatment for areas such as the face, underarms, bikini area, chest, back and legs while working toward smoother, longer-lasting results.

Laser Hair Removal Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients require a series of 6–12 treatments for optimal results. Because hair grows in different cycles, multiple sessions are necessary to effectively target hair follicles during their active growth phase. The exact number of treatments varies based on the treatment area, hair type, and individual response.
Any discomfort typically lasts only a few seconds. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a quick snap of a rubber band against the skin. Modern Candela laser systems include built-in cooling technology to maximize comfort during treatment.
Treatments are generally quick and require little to no downtime. A handheld laser device delivers gentle pulses of energy to the treatment area while a cooling system helps protect the skin and enhance comfort. Session length varies depending on the size of the treatment area and may range from just a few minutes to an hour.
Avoid plucking, waxing or electrolysis for at least six weeks before treatment.
Shaving is recommended prior to your appointment.
The treatment area should be clean and free of lotions, creams, or deodorants.
Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning for approximately two weeks before treatment.
Mild redness or slight swelling around the treated hair follicles is common and usually resolves within a few hours. Most patients return to normal activities immediately following treatment.
Avoid excessive sun exposure. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
Avoid harsh exfoliants, hot tubs, and certain activities that may irritate the treated area for the next several days.
Your provider will review specific aftercare instructions based on your treatment area.
