Now You See ‘Em. Now You Don’t.
If you’re ready to retire your razor, ditch the waxing appointments, and enjoy consistently smooth skin, Nd:YAG laser hair removal is one of the most effective—and most versatile—options available. At YAKER Hair Restoration + Med Spa, we use true medical-grade Nd:YAG laser technology designed to treat all skin tones safely, including deeper complexions that traditional lasers often can’t treat.
The beauty of the Nd:YAG wavelength is its precision. It travels deeper into the skin to target the hair follicle at its root while bypassing the surrounding pigment. That means fewer risks, fewer limitations, and better long-term reduction in unwanted hair across the face and body.
How Nd:YAG Laser Hair Removal Works
Think of the laser as a highly selective heat source. The Nd:YAG wavelength is attracted to the pigment inside the hair follicle—not the skin. It travels to the base of the follicle, gently heats it, and disrupts its ability to regrow.
Here’s what that means in real life:
- Targets the follicle, not the skin — especially important for patients with medium to deep skin tones
- Disables active-growth hairs with each session
- Hair grows back finer, lighter, and significantly reduced until many follicles stop growing hair altogether
Hair grows in cycles, so multiple treatments are needed to capture follicles when they’re actively growing.
Who Is This Treatment Best For?
Nd:YAG laser technology is known as the gold standard for darker skin types, but it’s safe and effective for almost everyone.
It’s ideal for treating:
- Face (upper lip, chin, beard line)
- Underarms
- Bikini and Brazilian areas
- Legs
- Arms
- Back and chest
- Abdomen and shoulders
If you struggle with razor bumps, ingrown hairs, or irritation from waxing, this treatment can make a dramatic difference in both comfort and appearance.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your session is quick, controlled, and designed for comfort.
- The area is cleansed
- Protective eyewear is placed for safety
- The laser delivers short pulses of light to each treatment zone
- You may feel a warm, snapping sensation—most patients describe it as very tolerable
You can return to work, errands, or workouts immediately.
After Treatment
It’s normal to experience:
- Mild redness
- Slight warmth or tingling
- Temporary follicle swelling (a sign the laser hit the root)
These effects typically fade within a few hours.
To protect your skin:
- Avoid sun exposure for 48 hours
- Use SPF daily
- Skip retinoids, scrubs, or exfoliants for 2–3 days
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Because hair grows in cycles, a single session can only treat the hair in the active growth phase.
Most patients need:
- 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for the body
- 8–10 sessions for facial hair (faces cycle faster)
Your provider will personalize your plan based on:
- Hair color and thickness
- Skin type
- Treatment area
- Hormonal factors
When Will I See Results?
You’ll start noticing a reduction in hair growth within a few weeks of your first session. With each treatment:
- Hair grows back more slowly
- Hair becomes finer and lighter
- Many follicles eventually stop producing hair
Most patients enjoy long-lasting smoothness, with occasional touch-ups once or twice a year if needed.
