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 love this place! Their people are amazing, answering questions, making suggestions, making you feel comfortable and relaxed. They offer amazing products that work and their services are tops! They don’t try to sell you on services you don’t need. In fact, I had a consultation for a particular service and the technician explained why it was not necessary and would not give me the results I was looking for. Instead she suggested a product that could help. Wow! A place that doesn’t try to take you money. The other services I really enjoy and see results are the micro needling , peal, laser, and Botox. The micro needling vanished a dark spot on my face after one treatment. Obviously results will vary but for me it only took one but I had a second treatment done anyway 😊Amazing! The laser treatments take time obviously, but I noticed a difference in some areas after the first. Can’t wait to see the final results. The Botox really helps with my headaches and of course fine lines. 😉 They also offer discounts thru Alli and have promotions throughout the year. Another plus!

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding a recent appointment I scheduled via email. Upon arriving at the clinic, I was informed that no appointment was on record and staff were unsure how this occurred. I had made arrangements and taken time off work specifically for this appointment, as I was very much looking forward to being seen. Given the inconvenience and lost time, I would appreciate discussing whether compensation for a portion of my time is possible. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

Lyndsey is a master aesthetician! My skin has completely transformed since coming here. The BBL treatments for sun damage are incredible. I have been to other Aestheticians and did not get the results I am getting with Lyndsey 5 Stars!

Coolsculpting for entire days at a time, seemed more like a spa or vacation day, than a procedure day. Jenna was the best and most professional provider I have ever worked with.

Rachel is amazing and the absolute best. She has great recommendations, awesome bedside manner. She only recommends what will be the best for the client and I always trust her opinion and feel safe in her hands. The only improvement I wish- the waiting room is SO BRIGHT now 😩 I liked it before. The new super light pink paint and super bright LED’s kill the vibe.

This clinic is truly wonderful. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mya, Jenna, Lyndsey, Julia, and Dr. Cote, and they take the time to understand your goals, walk you through every option, and make sure you feel confident in your decisions. Their execution is so seamless and precise it almost feels unreal. Jessica and Michell are equally amazing—always greeting you with genuine warmth and making sure you feel supported every step of the way. The entire team is not only highly professional, but also makes you feel like you’re among friends. I couldn’t recommend them more!

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.

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.
