What is full body Laser Hair Removal?

Most guests start with one area. Underarms, usually, or a Brazilian. Then a few sessions in, once they realize they have stopped thinking about shaving that area entirely, the question becomes: why am I still shaving everywhere else?

That is what a full body plan is. Not a different treatment — the same Laser Hair Removal, organized so your areas progress together.

We have performed over 100,000 treatments across our Birmingham, Grand Rapids, and Scottsdale clinics — every one of them by a Registered Nurse, with more than 500 five-star reviews to show for it. So the honest version of this answer is less technical than you would expect.

What counts as full body?

At Plush Laser, you build it. Common combinations include underarms, bikini or Brazilian, full legs, full arms, abdomen, back, and the face — upper lip, chin, jawline, cheeks. You are not locked into a fixed list, and you are not paying for areas you do not want treated.

Bundling areas into one plan is where the value is. Multi-area packages cost less than the same areas booked individually, and you spend less time in the clinic because your nurse treats several areas in a single visit.

One nurse, who knows your skin, treating everything in one appointment — that is the part guests tell us they did not expect. At a chain you are often handed to whoever is available that day.

How full body Laser Hair Removal actually works

Laser Hair Removal works on a principle called selective photothermolysis. The laser emits concentrated light, the pigment in your hair absorbs it, and that light energy converts to heat which travels down the shaft and disables the follicle. Your surrounding skin is spared because the laser is targeting pigment, not tissue.

Why Laser Hair Removal takes multiple sessions

Your hair is not all growing at once. Every follicle cycles through three phases: anagen (active growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (rest). The laser can only disable a follicle during anagen, when the hair is attached and full of pigment.

At any given moment, only a portion of your hair is in that active phase. The rest is resting or transitioning, invisible to the laser. Spacing your sessions over several months is what catches each follicle during its own growth window — and it is why staying on schedule matters more than any product you could put on your skin.

How many sessions will a full body plan take?

Every Plush Laser package includes nine treatments per area. That is not an upsell number — it is what the hair growth cycle requires to reach the results our guests expect, and it is built into every package by default.

Sessions are spaced at least six weeks apart, which is what the growth cycle needs to bring a fresh wave of follicles into the active phase. Larger areas like legs, back, and arms cycle more slowly and may be spaced a little further out. Your Registered Nurse tracks how you respond at every visit and paces your plan accordingly — you are never run through a fixed calendar.

When your package is complete, you are done — our Forever Smooth Guarantee means you never purchase another package again. If a touch-up is ever needed, it is available for a small copay.

What a full body session is like

Your Registered Nurse cleans each area and sets the laser for your skin tone and hair type — an assessment, not a preset. The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus then delivers a precisely engineered cooling spray with each laser pulse, so the area is soothed by cold as it is treated.

Most guests describe it as a brief heating sensation with that cooling spray hitting the skin simultaneously. Individual areas are quick; a full body appointment covering several areas runs about one to two hours depending on your plan. Afterward, expect mild warmth and slight pinkness for 24 to 48 hours, similar to light sun exposure — then straight back to your day.

It is also, for what it is worth, a nice hour. Our clinics were built to feel like somewhere you would choose to spend time, and by session three most guests are catching up with their nurse more than thinking about the laser.

How to prepare for Laser Hair Removal

Your nurse gives you a personalized version of this at your consultation, based on the areas you are treating and any medications you take. Nothing here is a hurdle.

What results look like along the way

Treated hairs shed gradually over the one to three weeks after each session — that is normal, and it is not new growth. Through your first several sessions, hair returns more slowly and comes in noticeably finer. Areas with faster cycles tend to show change first.

The practical milestone most guests describe is not a percentage. It is the week they realize they have not thought about shaving.

Making a full body plan work for your budget

Bundling areas is the single biggest lever — multi-area packages cost meaningfully less than the same areas purchased one at a time. Flexible monthly payments are available through Cherry — currently 0% interest for up to 24 months — so you can start treatment without a large upfront commitment.

And because every package includes the Forever Smooth Guarantee, the number you are quoted is not the first of many. It is the last package you buy for those areas — a promise we can only make because of how carefully our nurses treat you in the first place.
