Empowering Choice. Embracing Every Body.
Choose Smooth—Not Because You Have To, But Because You Want To
Hair is natural. It shows up in different places, at different times, for all kinds of beautifully human reasons—hormonal shifts, genetics, aging, gender transitions, or simply because that’s how we’re built. At Fresh Faces Rx, we honor all bodies, all skin tones, and all choices when it comes to hair.
We don’t offer laser hair reduction to make you conform—we offer it to give you back your power. Whether you’re affirming your gender, breaking up with your razor, addressing
folliculitis or ingrowns, or just choosing a smoother path—our approach is inclusive, medically guided, and always trauma-aware.
What Is Laser Hair Reduction?
Laser hair reduction targets the source of unwanted hair—the follicle itself—using focused light to reduce regrowth long term. Unlike shaving or waxing, lasers disable the follicle over time, offering smoother skin with less irritation and maintenance.
At Fresh Faces Rx, we offer two laser systems to ensure that everyone—across all Fitzpatrick skin types (I–VI)—receives safe, effective treatment:
DiolazeXL
A diode laser that works beautifully on lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–IV) with dark hair. It delivers fast, efficient treatments and includes a cooling tip for comfort. Diolaze is ideal for those looking to reduce coarse hair on larger body areas like legs, backs, and underarms.
Aerolase Neo Elite
The gold standard for melanin-rich skin tones (Fitzpatrick V–VI), Aerolase uses a 650-microsecond Nd:YAG laserthat bypasses the skin’s surface to target follicles without overheating the surrounding tissue. It’s also great for those prone to hyperpigmentation, PIH, or sensitive skin, and can safely treat acne, rosacea, or active inflammation during the
same session.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all lasers. That’s why your consultation includes a full skin and hair type analysis so we can choose the best device for your unique needs—safely,
inclusively, and ethically.
Who Is Laser Hair Reduction For?
Everyone. Every skin tone. Every gender. Every reason. At Fresh Faces Rx, laser hair reduction is part of our broader mission to provide inclusive, gender-affirming, and trauma-informed aesthetic care. Whether you’re trans, nonbinary, cis, postmenopausal, or postpartum—your reasons are valid, and your experience matters.
Commonly treated areas include:
- Face (lip, chin, sideburns, jawline)
- Neck and shoulders
- Chest and abdomen
- Bikini area (in any configuration)
- Back
- Arms, legs, fingers, and toes
- Areolas and glutes
- We’re here to help you feel good in your body—not to define what “beauty” means for you.
What Is the Experience Like at Fresh Faces Rx?
Your journey begins with a consultation at either our Portland or Lake Oswego location. We’ll take time to understand your skin type, hair goals, medical history, and comfort level. Based on this, we’ll select the right technology—DiolazeXL or Aerolase—and build your personalized treatment plan. During your treatment, you’ll feel quick bursts of warmth or a light snapping sensation as the laser pulses. Most patients say it’s more comfortable than waxing, especially with our built-in cooling technology. Sessions are quick—usually 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the area.
Our team is body-positive, discreet, and trauma-aware. If you have concerns about modesty, visibility, or dysphoria, we’ll work with you to ensure that your treatment feels safe, respectful, and affirming.
What Can I Expect After Treatment?
- Mild redness or sensitivity in the treated area is common and typically fades within 24–48 hours.
- You’ll want to avoid sun exposure, exfoliants, and extreme heat (like hot tubs or saunas) for a few days.
- Hairs will begin to shed over 1–2 weeks—it’s part of the process!
- A series of 4–6 sessions spaced about a month apart is usually needed to achieve full results.
