Let’s start with the basics—how does laser hair removal actually work, and what makes it a desirable option for hair removal? Laser hair removal works by emitting a light at a specific wavelength, which is absorbed by the pigment in each individual hair follicle. The heat from the laser damages all of the hair follicles during each treatment. You will need about 6-12 treatments, depending on your hair and skin type.
If this sounds like a frightening procedure, don’t fret! It is a completely safe and essentially painless treatment that will never damage the skin surrounding your hair follicles. Laser hair removal is also safe for all skin tones at Gleam Medical Spa. Now that you know a little more about how laser hair removal works its magic, read on to find out exactly what treatments we can offer and which may be right for you.
No, your laser hair removal treatment in Denver should not hurt!
We only use the highest quality laser hair removal machines, so you can always be sure our treatments are safe and painless. Our state-of-the-art machines also feature a cooling mechanism which further enhances your comfort during the treatment.
There are many options available to the modern consumer when it comes to hair removal, but none more effective than our laser hair removal technology. The classic methods of shaving and waxing require constant upkeep, and will never be a permanent solution for tricky hair growth. The market is also inundated with other products which claim to be solutions to hair removal, but none are better suited to handling the problem than laser hair removal.
Due to modern advances in technology, Gleam Medical Spa is able to offer laser hair removal that works for all skin tones and hair colors, with the only exceptions being red, blonde, and gray hair. This is due to natural red, blonde, and gray hair having less pigment than other hair colors, which gives less of a target for the laser technology to attack in the hair follicle. No laser on the market will work on blonde, grey, or red hair, but Gleam offers 2 different wavelengths to ensure we have the right laser for your skin type, hair type and hair density.
Yes, modern laser hair removal technologies are designed to work effectively on all skin types. At Gleam Medical Spa, we use advanced devices with adjustable settings that cater to a wide range of skin tones, including darker skin. The key is using the appropriate wavelength and energy levels to ensure safe and effective hair removal. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin and hair type to customize a treatment plan that delivers optimal results.
Yes, laser hair removal is a great option for men too! Our experienced and professional laser technicians frequently help men achieve their hair removal goals. Laser hair removal can not only remove excess body hair, but can also help with hygiene and grooming, plus help with athletic performance.
Yes, laser hair removal is safe and effective for all areas of your face and body. The thought of lasers being used on their face or other sensitive body parts is enough to strike fear into some people. However, laser hair removal is largely painless, and certainly a more desirable option than painful waxing treatments.
Laser hair removal is the perfect solution for ridding yourself of unwanted hair, from head to toe. The following are the most common treatment areas, but we are happy to customize a package to fit your needs.
We treat all areas of the body at Gleam. One of our most popular areas is laser hair removal for underarms. This provides smooth, hair-free underarms, an area that many people struggle with.

Hair growth occurs in 4 stages: Early Anagen, Anagen, Catagen, and Telogen. Laser hair removal destroys the hair follicle in the Anagen stage. Therefore, only approximately 10% of hair is removed with each treatment. Don’t worry, all follicles are damaged during each treatment, resulting in thinner, slower growing, more manageable hair.
The number of treatment sessions needed varies from patient to patient depending on your skin type, hair density, hair thickness, and more. Some patients achieve great results in as little as 6 sessions, while others may need 8 to 12.
The best way to find out how many treatments can help you achieve your dream results is to come in for a custom consultation with one of our laser technicians.
Actively growing hairs that are treated will never grow back. However, hair follicles that are not in the active growth phase while being treated, will need to be treated again. But those should be taken care of throughout your treatment package. It’s also not unusual for patients to have a touch-up treatment after an initial package due to hormonal changes. It is best to consult with one of our expert laser technicians to find the perfect treatment plan for you.
CYNOSURE ELITE ND:YAG 1064 NM
Cynosure has a reputation as a leading brand within laser hair removal technology. This model is ideal for customers with darker skin and hair tones, due to the way it focuses on the hair follicle without targeting the surrounding melanin. This means the machine can precisely target hair follicles without affecting the surrounding skin. This model also features the Zimmer Chiller Cryo, a cold air device intended to minimize pain during heat treatments such as laser hair removal.
CYNOSURE ELITE 755 ALEXANDRITE
Also available at Gleam Medical Spa is the Cynosure Elite with a 755 nm wavelength, which is often used for customers with lighter skin tones. This machine also features the Zimmer Chiller Cryo, which cools the skin while the laser works to provide a virtually pain-free experience.
Shaving the day before or just prior to the treatment is recommended and you may shave again twenty four hours after treatment unless instructed otherwise.
