HOW LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORKS

Laser hair removal works by delivering controlled pulses of light energy that target the pigment in hair follicles. The heat from the laser safely damages the follicle, preventing future growth while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. At MD Cote, we use the Cutera Excel HR, which combines Alexandrite and Nd:YAG technology—the gold standard for treating all skin types effectively. Over a series of treatments, hair becomes finer, lighter, and significantly reduced, leaving your skin smooth, soft, and virtually maintenance-free.

I see Mya and she is truly a master! She is knowledgeable in her craft and always walks me through what to expect. I had questions once after a service and she was prompt and detailed in reaching out with answers. Mya is warm, kind, patient, and I always look forward to seeing her. I highly recommend MD Cote, and Mya! The front desk coordinator Jessica is also a welcome and warm presence, always very sweet and helpful. Thanks to the whole team 💗

A few days before my wedding I had a Dermaplane and DiamondGlow facial by Mya at MD Cote. I had seen her before and she’s so sweet and nice. She described what would be happening with each step showed me the things she would be using and was just very informative. My skin literally had a glow immediately after and lasted for like a week, I swear. My skin was super glowy on my wedding day and my makeup artist even said my skin looked amazing and the makeup went on smooth. Mya was so welcoming from the moment I saw her, she’s knowledgeable, sweet, caring and really wanted to make sure I was comfortable and relaxed. I will be back to get more work done for sure, but I highly recommend going to MD Cote but more so recommend seeing Mya! 🤍 With the DiamondGlow, there is no downtime, if you’re worried about that. I’d just book the appointment if you have an important event and you want that extra glow, or if you just need some good self care. Sadly, I didn’t take any photos before and after but here is a photo to show how smooth and glowy my skin was on the big day! I owe it to Mya!!

I’m so glad I found Rachel! She came highly recommended by a close friend, and I couldn’t be happier that I took the leap. I’ve always wanted to try Botox, but I was honestly nervous. What I love most about Rachel is that her approach is all about enhancing your natural features with subtle, beautiful results. Her philosophy is to start slow, stay minimal, and build from a natural baseline if you choose to over time. That instantly put me at ease. Not only is her medical spa absolutely adorable, but Rachel has the best personality. She’s incredibly talented, has such an artistic eye, and is truly amazing at what she does. I highly recommend her!

Be careful when you’re planning to get a service here because their prices are always higher than other places with similar experience and products.

I had my first appointment at Md Cote yesterday with Rachel after being referred to her by a couple of people, and my experience was amazing from the moment I walked in. First off, the waiting room is so cute I loved the decor! Michelle at the front desk was awesome and very helpful during both check-in and check-out. Rachel was also amazing. She took the time to sit down with me, listen, and make sure we were on the same page before starting. I was super nervous, but she made me feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the appointment. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

Explore our frequently asked questions to learn more about Laser hair removal, its benefits, and what to expect during treatment.

Laser hair removal uses light energy to target the pigment in hair follicles, safely damaging them so they can’t grow new hair. Over time, this significantly reduces hair growth and leaves skin smoother and softer.

Yes! At MD Cote, we use the Cutera Excel HR, which combines Alexandrite and Nd:YAG technology—considered the gold standard for treating all skin tones safely and effectively.

Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers (like in the Excel HR) are true medical-grade lasers that deliver powerful, precise energy for permanent hair reduction. Alexandrite is ideal for lighter skin types, while Nd:YAG safely treats darker skin tones. Diode lasers can also be effective but are generally less versatile, and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is not a true laser—results are less consistent and often require more sessions.

Most patients see the best results with a series of 6–8 treatments.

Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap, similar to a rubber band on the skin. The Cutera Excel HR has a built-in cooling system that keeps treatments comfortable.

Laser hair removal can safely treat almost any area of the body, including the legs, underarms, bikini line, face, arms, chest, and back.

No—most patients return to daily activities immediately. You may experience mild redness or sensitivity, but it usually resolves within a few hours.

Hair reduction becomes noticeable after the first few treatments, with smoother skin and significantly reduced regrowth over time. Results build with each session.

Laser hair removal provides long-lasting reduction. Once a follicle is destroyed, it cannot regrow; however, maintenance sessions may be needed for best results.

Anyone tired of shaving, waxing, or dealing with ingrown hairs is a great candidate. With our advanced technology, we can safely treat both light and dark skin tones.
