What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to destroy hair follicles at the root, preventing regrowth. Colorado Skin & Vein uses the Cynosure Apogee Elite™—the most advanced system available—featuring dual wavelengths that treat the full spectrum of hair types, from fine blonde to thick dark hair, on any skin tone. The 755 nm Alexandrite targets lighter skin; the 1064 nm Nd:YAG safely treats all complexions, including darker tones. Each treatment is calibrated to your unique hair and skin type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hair Removal Treatments FAQ

How does laser hair removal work?
The laser emits light energy absorbed by pigment in hair follicles, heating and damaging the follicle to prevent future growth. Our dual-wavelength system treats all skin types safely.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. The Apogee Elite’s integrated cooling system keeps skin comfortable throughout treatment—far less painful than waxing.
Most patients achieve optimal results in 4-6 sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles, so multiple treatments ensure all follicles are targeted during active growth.
We treat virtually any area: face (upper lip, chin, sideburns), underarms, arms, legs, chest, back, bikini line, and Brazilian. Customized plans address your specific needs.
Results are permanent. Treated hair follicles are destroyed and will not regrow. Rare touch-ups may be needed for dormant follicles or hormonal changes.
No. Laser hair removal permanently reduces hair. Between sessions, any regrowth appears finer and lighter—not thicker.
Yes. Shaving is recommended the day before treatment. Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading, which remove the hair follicle the laser needs to target.
Hair sheds naturally 1-3 weeks post-treatment. Noticeable reduction appears after 2-3 sessions, with continued improvement throughout your treatment plan.
No. You may experience mild redness or sensitivity for 24-48 hours, similar to a light sunburn. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
Absolutely. We treat men for back, chest, shoulders, neck, and facial hair. Laser hair removal improves grooming, hygiene, and athletic performance.
Laser hair removal is cosmetic and typically not covered. We offer transparent pricing and flexible payment options discussed during consultation.

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.
