Understanding Laser Hair Removal

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Laser hair removal uses targeted light energy to permanently reduce unwanted hair by disabling hair follicles at their root. The laser emits a specific wavelength of light absorbed by melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle. This absorption generates heat that damages the follicle’s ability to produce new hair, resulting in progressive, long-term hair reduction.

Colorado Skin & Vein utilizes the Apogee Elite laser system—featuring both 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelengths. This dual-laser technology safely treats all skin types and hair colors, from fine blonde hair to coarse dark hair, with precision calibration for your unique skin tone and hair type.

With over 20 years of laser expertise, Dr. David Verebelyi and Christina Jordan, FNP, CANS, deliver customized treatments ensuring optimal comfort, safety, and lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Laser Hair Removal FAQ

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction. Most patients achieve 80-95% reduction after 4-6 treatments. Hair that regrows is typically finer, lighter, and sparser. Maintenance treatments may be needed long-term depending on hormonal factors.

Most patients describe minimal discomfort—a brief snapping or tingling sensation with each pulse. Our Zimmer Chiller delivers continuous cool air during treatment, significantly reducing discomfort. Pain level is far less than waxing.

Yes. Our Apogee Elite’s dual-wavelength technology (755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG) safely treats all skin tones, from very fair to very dark. We customize wavelength, pulse duration, and energy levels to your specific skin type.

Laser hair removal works best on dark hair (brown, black) because the laser targets melanin. Lighter brown hair responds well with our advanced technology.

Most patients need 4-6 treatments for optimal results. Treatment frequency depends on the area (facial hair every 4-6 weeks; body hair every 6-8 weeks). Hair grows in cycles, and laser only affects actively growing follicles, requiring multiple sessions.

We can treat virtually any area except directly around the eyes. Common areas include face (upper lip, chin, sideburns), underarms, arms, legs, chest, back, abdomen, and bikini/Brazilian. We customize treatment to your specific needs.

Treated hair begins shedding 1-3 weeks post-treatment. Maximum results appear after completing your full treatment series (typically 4-6 sessions). Each session progressively reduces hair density and thickness.

Absolutely. Laser hair removal is increasingly popular for men seeking permanent reduction on back, chest, shoulders, abdomen, and facial areas (neck, beard shaping). Treatment protocol is identical; coarser male hair often responds excellently.

Cost varies by treatment area size and number of sessions needed. We offer package pricing for optimal value. During your consultation, we provide detailed pricing customized to your specific treatment plan.

Angel Croce, Staff Manager at Colorado Skin & Vein in Denver

Angel Croce

Staff Manager

Angel has been in healthcare for more than 20 years. Her journey began in 2004, after her father suddenly passed away from a stroke. Losing him was a life-changing experience, and it inspired her to choose a career where she could help others and give patients and their families the care, compassion, and support they need during difficult times.

Throughout her career she has worked across cardiology, neurology, family practice, and urgent care — each experience helping her grow both personally and professionally. She now works in vascular care and aesthetics, where she enjoys building relationships with her patients, helping them understand their care, and making sure they feel comfortable and supported throughout their journey.

Outside of work, Angel is a proud mom of two. Family is incredibly important to her, and in her spare time she loves being outdoors with her husband and their two dogs — hunting, fishing, and enjoying Colorado.

For Angel, healthcare is more than a career — it is personal. What started as a way to honor her father’s memory has become more than two decades of caring for others, and she is grateful to keep doing something that means so much to her every day.
