As you know, I’ve been getting laser hair removal treatments done at Milan Laser. I recently opened a question box on my IG stories asking for any questions you might have regarding laser hair removal. Here are the most commonly asked questions that I received + a little update on my treatment thus far.
What IS laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a concentrated light beam to remove unwanted hair by targeting hair follicles at the source.
What’s the laser hair removal process? How does it work?
Laser hair removal works by emitting a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat which damages the hair follicles that produce hair.
Where can you get laser hair removal done? Can I get it on my face too?
Short answer: just about anywhere! During your Milan Laser consultation you will receive several handouts on areas in which you can get treatment done. These areas include (but are not limited to): legs, arms, back, bikini zone, feet, hands, full face, and neck.
How much does it cost?
Laser hair removal prices vary on where you are receiving treatment (the larger the area, the more it will cost). Though it is not necessarily a “cheap” treatment, the money you will save long term when you no longer need to shave/wax is mind-blowing! Here is a breakdown found on the Milan Laser website:
How many sessions will I need?
This will vary person to person. On average most people will need anywhere from 7-10 treatments to fully rid the area of hair. The nice thing about Milan Laser is that they offer unlimited treatments for life at no extra cost. This means that no matter how many sessions you might need you will never have to pay extra for additional treatments.
Does it hurt? What does it feel like?
This will vary person to person as everyone’s pain tolerance is different! On average the pain index is listed as “moderate,” however I found it to be completely painless in my opinion. Some say that it feels like a rubber band lightly slapping the skin, but I disagree as I just felt a slight amount of warmth in the area.
How does Milan Laser differ from other laser hair removal clinics?
I would recommend Milan Laser over all laser clinics due to a multitude of reasons, however here are my top 3 reasons:
- They ONLY offer laser hair removal treatments meaning they specialize in it and they have staff that is very well trained on how to provide the service.
- Payment for your treatment comes with the reassurance that Milan Laser will provide as many treatments as necessary to rid the area of hair (aka no additional cost for additional treatments!)
- They have the cleanest clinics & the friendliest staff! I felt right at home the second I walked in the clinic- everyone was so friendly and completely answered all of my questions in a way that I could understand.
Does it ACTUALLY get rid of all your hair? Does the hair ever grow back?
Getting treated at Milan Laser means that your hair is gone forever! Most clients are 95-100% hair-free in 7-10 treatments but as a Milan Laser patient you have peace of mind knowing that you will have unlimited treatments (for life!) if you should need them due to changes in hormones, pregnancy, etc. The hair won’t grow back but if it does, just pop back in to your local clinic and get a touch up!

I’m pregnant, can I still get treated? Who should avoid laser hair removal treatments?
Laser hair removal is not recommended if you are currently or planning to become pregnant soon. It is recommended that you speak with a licensed medical professional regarding if laser hair removal is safe for you!
If you regularly get tans (tanning bed/ sunbathing/ spray tans) it is recommended that you wait until your skin is at its most natural shade before coming in for your appointment.
In conclusion…
Laser hair removal is an investment up front but overall an incredible way to save time and money in the long run. Each session is quick and easy and so satisfying! I would recommend LHR to anyone and my #1 choice for a clinic is absolutely Milan Laser.
I’ve done 3 treatments so far and they went AMAZINGLY well. I noticed a significant reduction in hair, however before my 4th appointment I became pregnant and had to stop all of my treatments. Now that I am no longer pregnant, I am back to getting my regular treatments again! Unfortunately with the change in hormones I am back at square one with hair growth, but I’m SO pumped to get back into it! I’ll continue to share my experience!
