Laser Hair Removal.
Smooth Skin.
Less Time. Less Effort.
Stop shaving. Stop waxing. Stop dealing with ingrown hairs and razor burn that keeps coming back. Laser hair removal is one of the most practical treatments we offer — because the results are long-term, and the time you get back every single day is real.
The Constant Cycle Gets Old Fast
Shaving, waxing, ingrown hairs, razor burn — and then doing it all over again. Most patients who come to us for laser hair removal aren’t making a vanity decision. They’re making a practical one. They’re tired of the maintenance, the irritation, and the cost of keeping up with temporary solutions.
Ingrown Hairs & Razor Burn
Chronic ingrown hairs on the bikini line, legs, or face cause real discomfort and can leave lasting dark marks. Razor burn on sensitive areas creates irritation that often lasts longer than the smoothness from shaving. Laser removes the follicle — and with it, the source of both problems.
The Time Add-Up
The average person spends over 1,700 hours of their lifetime shaving. That’s real time — every week, every month, every year. Laser hair removal is an investment that pays itself back in time returned, year after year, for the rest of your life.
Waxing Appointments That Never End
Waxing produces smoother results than shaving — but it’s temporary, often painful, and requires consistent scheduling every 3–6 weeks indefinitely. Laser hair removal makes waxing optional within a year of starting treatment.
Laser hair removal isn’t about aesthetics alone — it’s about getting time, comfort, and confidence back.
How Laser Hair Removal Works — and Why It Lasts
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target the pigment in each hair follicle. The heat damages the follicle’s ability to produce future hair — gradually reducing density, softening regrowth, and in many areas, eliminating hair almost entirely over a full treatment course.
Advanced Diode Laser with Built-In Cooling
At Roberts Aesthetics & Wellness, we use advanced diode laser technology with integrated cooling built directly into the treatment device. The cooling system keeps the skin surface comfortable throughout each pulse, significantly reducing the discomfort associated with older laser systems.
Diode laser is one of the most effective and versatile wavelengths for hair removal — it penetrates to the appropriate depth for most hair types, works across a range of skin tones with customized settings, and delivers consistent energy to each follicle for predictable results. The built-in cooling means you get effective treatment without sacrificing comfort.
Laser energy targets pigment in the hair follicle
The laser wavelength is selectively absorbed by melanin — the pigment in the hair shaft. This concentrates the energy in the follicle rather than the surrounding skin. The built-in cooling system simultaneously protects the skin surface during energy delivery.
Heat damages the follicle — reducing future growth
The absorbed energy heats and damages the follicle’s ability to produce hair. Treated follicles shed the existing hair over 1–3 weeks and grow back significantly finer, lighter, and more sparse — or not at all, depending on the follicle and the number of treatments completed.
Multiple sessions treat hair in every growth phase
Not all hairs are in their active growth phase simultaneously — laser is most effective on hairs in the anagen (active growth) phase. This is why a series of treatments is necessary: each session catches more follicles in their active phase, progressively reducing the overall density over the full course of treatment.

The Real Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
Long-Term Hair Reduction — Not Temporary
Waxing lasts weeks. Shaving lasts days. Laser hair removal progressively and permanently reduces follicle activity — producing results that compound over a treatment series and persist long after it’s complete.
Eliminates Ingrown Hairs & Razor Burn
Ingrown hairs are caused by the follicle — once the follicle is disabled, the ingrown hair problem disappears with it. This is one of the most consistently appreciated benefits of laser hair removal, particularly for the bikini area, face, and legs.
Built-In Cooling for Real Comfort
Our advanced diode laser includes integrated cooling that keeps the skin surface comfortable throughout treatment. This is a meaningful upgrade over older laser systems and significantly reduces the discomfort most patients expect going in.
No Downtime — Resume Normal Activities
Mild redness that typically resolves within 24–48 hours is the only recovery. There is no wound, no peeling, no disruption. Most patients return to their normal routine immediately after treatment.
Saves Real Money Over Time
The average woman spends $10,000+ on shaving and waxing over a lifetime. A complete laser hair removal series costs a fraction of that — and eliminates or dramatically reduces the ongoing expense for years after treatment is complete.
Works on Multiple Areas Simultaneously
Our time-based pricing system lets you bundle multiple areas into a single session — treating underarms and bikini, or legs and abdomen, in one visit. Efficient for your schedule and cost-effective for your investment.
What Patients Ask —
Answered Honestly
“Will the hair be completely gone after one treatment?”
No. Laser hair removal works progressively across multiple sessions because hair grows in cycles — and only hair in its active growth phase responds optimally to laser energy. After each treatment, hair grows back finer and sparser. After a full series of 6 sessions, most patients see 70–90% permanent reduction in the treated area, with lighter, finer regrowth in the remainder.
“Does it hurt?”
Most patients describe it as a quick snapping sensation with each pulse — similar to a rubber band snap. The built-in cooling system on our diode laser makes the experience significantly more comfortable than older laser systems. Most patients find it very tolerable, particularly once they realize how fast each session moves.
“Can I wax or pluck between sessions?”
No — this is important. Waxing and plucking physically remove the hair follicle from the root. Laser needs that follicle to be present in order to target it. Between sessions, shaving is perfectly fine — it removes hair at the surface without disturbing the follicle. Waxing, plucking, and threading must be avoided throughout your treatment series.
“Does it work on all hair and skin types?”
Laser hair removal works best on hair with some pigment — which means very light, grey, or white hair doesn’t respond as well. For skin tone, our diode laser can be adjusted across a range of Fitzpatrick types, but settings require careful customization for deeper skin tones to minimize risk. We assess your specific hair and skin combination at your consultation and set realistic expectations before you start.
Good Candidates — And What to Know First
You’re a great candidate if:
- You want long-term reduction in hair growth
- You have dark or medium-toned hair (responds best)
- You’re tired of shaving, waxing, or dealing with ingrown hairs
- You can commit to a series of 6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart
- Your skin is not currently tanned or sunburned
- You are not pregnant or nursing
You may need modified expectations if:
- Your hair is very light, grey, or white — results will be limited
- You have recently tanned skin — we need to wait until skin returns to baseline
- You have very dark skin — settings require customization and careful assessment
- You have active irritation, infection, or open skin in the treatment area
- You are taking photosensitizing medications (reviewed at consultation)
We’ll give you a realistic picture of what results to expect based on your specific hair and skin at your consultation.

Your Questions, Answered Directly
How many laser hair removal sessions will I need in Houma, LA?
Most patients need a minimum of 6 sessions spaced every 4–6 weeks to achieve optimal reduction. The exact number varies based on your hair color, density, area treated, and how your individual follicles respond. After 6 sessions, most patients see 70–90% permanent reduction, with 1–2 annual maintenance sessions needed to manage any residual growth.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
With our diode laser’s built-in cooling system, most patients describe the sensation as a brief, tolerable snap with each pulse — significantly more comfortable than older laser technology. Smaller areas are completed in minutes. Even patients who were nervous going in are typically surprised by how manageable the experience is.
Can I shave between laser hair removal treatments?
Yes — shaving between sessions is not only permitted, it’s encouraged. Shaving removes hair at the surface without disturbing the follicle that laser needs to target. What you should never do between sessions is wax, pluck, thread, or use a depilatory that removes the root — this removes the follicle and significantly reduces the effectiveness of your next laser session.
Does laser hair removal help with ingrown hairs?
Yes — this is one of the most appreciated benefits, particularly for the bikini area, underarms, and legs. Ingrown hairs are caused by the follicle. Once the follicle is disabled by laser, the ingrown hair problem disappears with it. Many patients specifically choose laser hair removal to resolve chronic ingrown hair issues rather than for hair reduction alone.
Is there downtime after laser hair removal?
No meaningful downtime. Mild redness and warmth in the treated area for 24–48 hours is normal. Most patients return to their normal routine immediately after their appointment. We ask that you avoid hot tubs, saunas, and intense exercise for 24 hours — but there is no recovery period that affects your daily life.
Do you serve patients from outside Houma, Louisiana?
Yes. We serve patients from across South Louisiana including Thibodaux, Raceland, Morgan City, and the greater Bayou Region. The 4–6 week spacing between sessions makes laser hair removal very practical for patients who travel — you’re only coming in every 4–6 weeks for sessions that take 10–30 minutes each.
