Dealing with unwanted body hair can be time-consuming. Between shaving, waxing, and plucking, the maintenance really adds up. If you’re ready to get rid of your unwanted body hair once and for all, laser hair removal treatments might be your answer.
After just a few treatments, your unwanted hair will be permanently gone – no need for further hair removal hassle ever again!
What exactly is laser hair removal?
Laser treatment removes hair using a concentrated beam of light rays – a laser. At the very core, laser hair removal is designed to target a pigment called melanin, which is one of the pigments that give your hair its color. During your laser hair removal treatment, the laser or IPL device will target the melanin in the hair follicle, which resides inside your skin. The heat will damage the follicle, slowing hair growth.
This relationship between hair removal lasers and melanin is very important because it affects how laser hair removal works, what hair color it can target, and how it can affect the skin. If the laser hair removal procedure is carried out correctly, then the skin does not get damaged at all, especially when using modern equipment. Here is a diagram of how it all works:
Application.
Laser hair removal can be done on almost any part of the body. It can be laser hair removal of the legs, armpits, upper lip, chin, bikini line, or face. Perhaps the only place where the laser should not be used is the eyelids.
Accuracy.
Laser hair removal will not get any cuts, scratches, or other things, only hair is removed and nothing else.
Speed.
It takes a tiny fraction of a second for the laser to heat up the melanin in the hair sufficiently. In some cases, laser hair removal on the upper lip can take only a minute. Imagine, just one minute – and all unwanted hair is gone!
Predictability.
After the first procedure, the specialist, most likely, will be able to guide you on the time of the final treatment of unwanted hair – the specialist will roughly understand how your hair reacts to the laser and how many laser hair removal procedures you will need.

How Effective is Laser Hair removal?
Keep in mind that after laser hair removal, the hair does not disappear immediately, it usually takes several (three to seven) visits to a specialist.
Why laser hair removal is not a single, but multiple procedures, and how long will it take to see the first results? The fact is that the laser affects only those hairs that are actively growing at that moment, but there are also dormant follicles, those that do not grow hair at the present time. Accordingly, during the first procedure, the hair that is in the “active phase” is burned out, and then gradually the remaining ones. On average, it turns out that 15 to 30% of hair follicles die at the first visit to the clinic.

Check out what our clients say about Hush LA and Elena Budagyan – the mastermind behind it all!
For those who’ve seen my other reviews, you know I’m painfully honest. I wrote one recently about another med spa that was a horrible experience. I was referred to Hush by a random woman walking out of that spa who also had a bad visit (for just a B12 shot) – she said, “If you’re looking for a good med spa that’s not very expensive, try Hush La on Hollywood Blvd.” I made an appointment at Hush as soon as I got into my car. She was SO right. Everything about Hush LA was awesome – from the moment I made the appointment, to filling out the pre-visit online forms, to parking, and finally to the appointment itself. Everyone at Hush was so nice, I loved the cool decor, and Elena, who gave the laser treatment, was amazing. She was knowledgeable, thorough, and gentle with a sometimes painful treatment. I really cannot recommend Hush LA enough – and the prices are so reasonable! I immediately made an appointment for another treatment next week! You won’t regret trying Hush LA.
My go to place for everything! The laser hair removal here never fails…she is fast and gets the job done. They are extremely professional and clean! I feel safe going here and I am loving my results. The facials are also amazing. Are used to suffer from cystic acne and I had a lot of scars. The Morpheus 8 treatment saved me, I did three treatments. Now my skin is free of scars and glowing! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for an all-in-one medical spa!
HushLA is definitely my favorite Medspa I’ve ever visited. Elena is super caring and always makes you feel at home. I’ve been coming here for over a year now and always look forward to my next appointment. I no longer live in California but still make it a priority to fly to LA every month just to have my appointments here. Also Angelique is extremely patient and attentive when it comes to getting lasered, she never misses a single spot! Thank you!!
So professional and sweet. Elena did laser hair removal for me. Excellent work and wonderful environment. If you are searching for a place to get laser, botox, dermalinfusion, vampire facials, PRP hair rejuvenation, etc, look no further. This is definitely this place to go!
Great laser hair removal. Office is clean, cute, easy parking. Appointments are quick and easy to schedule in a variety of ways. They are quick and easy to communicate with when a reschedule is needed. I have been pleased with laser hair removal results. The prices are great/affordable.
I love this place. I like that it is small and intimate. I don’t really trust the big commercial chains. The service here is great! It’s always clean and I’m seen right on time and I like the ambiance. Also free parking is a nice perk! I actually live on that west side and make the trek over to Hollywood because I love this place so much. But I’m lowkey afraid to share this review because I don’t want it to get too popular and then harder for me to get appointments
I found this place from a recommendation from my friend. The PA, Elena, is super honest in her recommendations and doesn’t try to upsell you. I trust her completely and I know she wouldn’t give me a treatment that would be unsafe.
I am African-American and was hesitant about laser hair removal because I’ve heard horror stories about burning skin or getting keloids. She was patient with all my questions and she explained everything to me and made sure to start the laser treatments in a spot that was more hidden (my armpits). She also recommend doing the treatment about three times to make sure I didn’t have an adverse reaction before moving on to other more visible areas. This place also offers other cosmetic treatments as well so it would be nice if you want to do multiple things at once.
The office stuff are nice too. They are good at confirming appointments and they always offer me a beverage. Highly recommend! Their pricing is fair and they always have great specials. My only wish is that they had a referral program or a points/rewards program
