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 just received the diamond glow facial from MD cote. It was my first facial. I loved the experience. I felt pampered as soon as I walked in the office. Everyone is so warm and professional. My esthetician listened to my skin concerns and recommended that we start with hydration and work our way up to microdermabrasion and different serums in the future because it was my first. I appreciated the questionnaire that asked about my skin tone and sun sensitivity. Jenna was warm, friendly and had a natural flow of conversation. I felt very comfortable with her. My skin looked amazing afterwards and my pores were so clear! (she even showed me all the gunk that came out at the end haha) highly recommend getting your facials here.
I had a Diamond Glow Facial & added on dermaplaning with Mya & it was amazing! My face is still glowing days later. Highly recommend!
Dr Cote and her staff are very professional and great to do business with. They make you feel comfortable and ensure you will have a great experience. I would recommend them to anyone.
Awesome women dr Cote very funny and professional. Knowledgeable and great staff along side her.
I've been coming here for a few years now. Started with Botox then other services like facials and fillers. The entire team is always professional, patient and courteous. They all work together like a well oiled machine. I've been pleased with EVERYTHING. The establishment is top-notch. It's not the highest but not the lowest but reasonable. Scheduling is easy.Happy customer so far. The main thing i have been pleased with over the years is... 1. They dont do hard up sells. 2. Dr. Vote and the staff listen. I had photos of what I like and dont like and it was 100% what i wanted. Its your face. Its important to be heard. I would highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed.
I am extremely happy with the services I received. I was listened to and given all the information on each procedure I was interested in. I like how Dr. Cote' asked me what I wanted improved, she didn't tell me what I needed. Lyndsey is also great. She explained what real results I could see and what to expect. They also let you know the cost of each procedure ahead of time. All the staff members are professional and welcoming.
Mya is continuously amazing, welcoming and thorough. My skin always feel and looks 10x healthier after a facial.
I’ve been going to Md cote for almost 3 years for tattoo removal. I couldn’t be happier. I never thought I would ever see my tattoo free hands again. Would definitely recommend . Super friendly staff.
I purchased a BBL package while it was on sale in December 2023. I used one treatment shortly after, then my second in October 2024. When I went to schedule my final appointment, I was told my package had expired six months after purchase — based on an agreement I supposedly signed five years ago. Not once during my visits was I ever informed that there was an expiration, nor was this policy clearly explained when I purchased the package. These treatments are not cheap, and I would have never spent that kind of money had I known the sessions would expire so quickly. It’s extremely disappointing that they won’t honor what was clearly a communication mistake on their end. I’m out the money, and the company isn’t taking responsibility — very unprofessional and not what I expected from a business in this industry.
Rachel made my experience just great. All the staff seem to go above and beyond to helping their customers; my nurse specifically made my experience nearly painless and less scary. She did various techniques to get me distracted of the needle. The results are great too. She added enough to fix my gummy smile, which other places couldn’t fix. I am now a client and it’s worth the drive for me.
Dr. Cote and her staff have changed my life! I found out about hormone therapy during one of her seminars, and I am feeling better every day. Doc is knowledgeable, takes her time to explain processes and procedures, and has a funny, laid-back approach during her appointments. It's 5 stars for me!!
Lyndsey did an amazing job on my procedure, she is very knowledgeable and I wish I would have gone there 1st instead of this other place. The staff is very nice and it was a pleasure going there. Highly recommend and I will be going back. William S.
I had my lips and a few units of Botox done here with rachel. She did a great job, she executed my vision perfectly plus the atmosphere is so girly and cute I love it. I recommend!
Great experience and really took great care of me, made me feel comfortable in a vulnerable situation.
I cannot recommend Rachel Simpson, BSN RN at Dr. Cote’s office highly enough! She has truly made me look at least 15 years younger, and I am beyond thrilled with the results. Rachel is gentle, cautious, and always attentive to my comfort, especially when it comes to monitoring pain levels during injections. Her professionalism and skill shine through in every visit, and she takes the time to ensure I feel informed and confident in her care. If you are looking for natural, beautiful results delivered with compassion and expertise, Rachel is the one to see!
common LASER HAIR REMOVAL faqs
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.
