Laser Hair Removal Using FRAC3® Hair Removal
If you are tired of shaving, bumps, and the constant maintenance cycle, laser hair removal can be the most practical long-term upgrade. This post breaks down how FRAC3® hair removal works, who it is best for, what to expect, and how to get the smoothest results.
- Laser hair removal targets the follicle to reduce regrowth over time.
- FRAC3® uses fast Nd:YAG energy delivery designed for efficient, consistent coverage.
- Most areas need a series because hair grows in cycles.
- Results look best with consistent spacing, gentle aftercare, and sun protection.
What is laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is a medical-grade method that reduces unwanted hair by delivering energy to the hair shaft and follicle. Over a series of treatments, active follicles are disabled so hair grows back finer, slower, and in many cases significantly reduced.
It is not a one-and-done service because hair does not grow all at once. The goal is to catch hair in its most treatable phase repeatedly until you hit your reduction target.
Why FRAC3® Hair Removal
FRAC3® hair removal uses an Nd:YAG wavelength approach that is designed to reach deeper follicles while respecting the surface of the skin. The delivery pattern is built for precise, consistent coverage so treatments feel controlled, even on larger areas.
Depth and reach
Designed to target follicles that sit deeper, which matters for areas like legs, bikini, and back.
Even coverage
A structured delivery approach helps reduce missed spots and supports more uniform results across the area.
Skin tone aware
Nd:YAG based approaches are commonly used across a wide range of skin tones with proper settings and assessment.
The vibe Smooth skin is not a luxury. It is fewer ingrowns, fewer rash days, and less time thinking about hair at all.
How it works
The laser energy is absorbed by pigment in the hair shaft and converted to heat. That heat is transferred toward the bulb and follicle structures to reduce future growth. The key is delivering enough energy to affect the follicle while keeping surrounding skin comfortable and calm.
Hair growth cycles in plain language
- Anagen is the active growth phase and is typically the most responsive.
- Catagen is a transition phase where the follicle is changing.
- Telogen is a resting phase where the hair is not strongly connected.
This is why spacing matters. We want repeated sessions to catch new hairs as they enter the active phase.
What to expect
During
Quick pulses with a warm snap feel. Most patients describe it as manageable and fast, especially as hair density decreases.
After
Some redness or a mild sun-kissed look is common for a few hours. You can usually return to normal life same day.
In 1 to 3 weeks
Hair often sheds. It is not regrowth. It is treated hair releasing from the follicle.
Many areas require 6 to 8 sessions depending on hair density, hormones, and the treatment zone. Maintenance can be occasional once your target reduction is reached.
Prep and aftercare
Before
- Shave 12 to 24 hours before, do not wax or pluck.
- Avoid active sunburn or heavy tanning.
- Skip self-tanner on the area.
After
- Keep the area cool and clean for 24 hours.
- Avoid hot yoga, saunas, and intense heat same day.
- Use SPF if the area is exposed.
Between sessions
- Shaving is fine. Avoid waxing and plucking.
- Gentle exfoliation later can help prevent ingrowns.
- Tell us about any new meds or skin changes.
Safety note: timing and settings depend on skin tone, hair type, and medical history. Your provider will tailor the plan.
