Light and Laser
Laser hair removal and laser treatments in Carmel, Indiana
Six laser and light services, priced by treatment area or tattoo size rather than by the hour, and all of them built around a series rather than a single visit.
Wellness Origin Spa in Carmel, Indiana offers laser hair removal priced by small, medium and large areas from $75, laser tattoo removal priced by tattoo size from 1x1 inch to 6x6 inch, IPL photofacial, the Laser Carbon Peel, laser dark spot removal by spot count, and laser lipo with whole body vibration. Multiple sessions are typically recommended, and 3, 6 and 12 session packages are published.
Why is laser priced by area instead of by time?
Because the work is defined by the surface, not the clock. Laser hair removal is priced in three tiers: small, medium and large treatment areas. A small area is something like the lip, chin, hands or ears. A medium area covers underarms, a full face, upper or lower legs or arms, the neck, or the bikini line. A large area covers full legs, full arms, the chest, the abdomen or a full back.
Laser tattoo removal works the same way, priced by the size of the tattoo from 1x1 inch through 6x6 inch, with anything larger requiring a consultation. Laser dark spot work is priced by count, either 1 to 10 spots or 11 to 20. Once you know which bracket you are in, the package pricing is straightforward.
The other thing to understand before booking is that every one of these is a series. Hair grows in cycles, and laser light targets melanin in the follicle during its active growth cycle, which is why a single session cannot catch every hair. Ink breaks down gradually across sessions. Our specialist will consult with you on an individual basis to determine the amount of treatments that will be right for you.
What does a laser session feel like?
Short pulses of light, delivered area by area. For tattoo removal, some individuals may experience discomfort during the procedure, often described as a snapping sensation. The degree varies with individual tolerance, tattoo size and location, and the type of laser used. Discomfort is typically limited to the laser pulses and should not persist after treatment, and with subsequent sessions individuals may experience reduced discomfort.
For hair removal, the sensation is briefer and most people describe it as a quick snap of heat. Sessions are usually short. The consultation before your first session is where we cover your hair color, skin type and what a realistic series looks like for you.

How a laser series is planned
Consultation first
Our laser hair removal specialist will consult with you on an individual basis to determine the amount of treatments that will be right for you. For tattoo removal, our specialists discuss your individual needs and whether the treatment is suitable for you at all.
Skin type is part of the answer
Our IPL laser for hair removal is best suited for Fitzpatrick Skin Types 1 to 4. It might take more sessions for Fitzpatrick Skin Types 5 and 6. For the Laser Carbon Peel, individuals with darker skin tones should consult our team first.
Book the series, not the session
Because a series is expected, the 3, 6 and 12 session packages are where the value sits. The 12 session large area hair removal package is $1,639 against $1,884 in single sessions, a published saving of $245.
Follow the before and after instructions
For dark spot work, avoid sun exposure for 2 to 4 weeks before, use SPF 30+ daily, and tell us about any medications. Afterwards, moisturize, apply SPF 30+, and avoid harsh products or hot showers.

What laser will and will not do
We would rather set the expectation now than argue about it in session four. For hair removal, hair color and skin type influence effectiveness. Darker hair and lighter skin may respond more effectively to treatment. Due to the hair growth cycle, a series of treatments is typically recommended, and the number varies by person and by area.
For tattoo removal, the number of sessions required can vary based on factors such as tattoo color, age and size. Darker ink colors may respond more effectively, and older and smaller tattoos may require fewer sessions. While laser treatments can significantly lighten tattoos, complete removal is not always guaranteed. Anyone who promises you a guaranteed erase is telling you something we will not.
These are cosmetic treatments, not medical procedures. No unapproved substances or regulated devices are used, and results may vary. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA, and these services are not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent or cure any specific disease.

Questions
Common questions
How many laser sessions will I need?
Due to the hair growth cycle, a series of treatments is typically recommended. Our laser hair removal specialist will consult with you on an individual basis to determine the amount of treatments that will be right for you. That is why the packages run 3, 6 and 12 sessions. For tattoo removal, the count varies with tattoo color, age and size, and the consultation covers it before you buy.
Does laser hair removal work on every skin tone?
Our IPL laser for hair removal is best suited for Fitzpatrick Skin Types 1 to 4. It might take more sessions for Fitzpatrick Skin Types 5 and 6. Hair color matters too. Darker hair and lighter skin may respond more effectively to treatment. The consultation is where we tell you honestly what a realistic series looks like for your hair and skin.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Some individuals may experience discomfort during the procedure, often described as a snapping sensation. The degree of discomfort can vary based on individual tolerance, tattoo size and location, and the type of laser used. Discomfort is typically limited to the laser pulses and should not persist after treatment. With subsequent sessions, individuals may experience reduced discomfort.
Will my tattoo come off completely?
While laser treatments can significantly lighten tattoos, complete removal is not always guaranteed. Ink color, tattoo age and size all affect the outcome. Darker ink colors may respond more effectively, and older and smaller tattoos may require fewer sessions. Bring the tattoo to a consultation and our specialists will tell you what they expect before you commit to a package.
How is laser hair removal priced?
By area. A small area is $75 per session, a medium area is $117 and a large area is $157, with 3, 6 and 12 session packages on each. Small areas include the lip, chin, hands, feet and ears. Medium areas include underarms, full face, upper or lower legs and arms, neck and bikini. Large areas include full legs, full arms, chest, abdomen and full back.
What should I do before and after a dark spot session?
Before: avoid sun exposure for 2 to 4 weeks, use SPF 30+ daily, and inform us of any medications. After: moisturize, apply SPF 30+, and avoid irritants such as harsh products or hot showers. The service is priced by count, either 1 to 10 spots at $98 or 11 to 20 spots at $117 per session, with 3, 6 and 12 session packages.
What is laser lipo and how often is it done?
Laser lipo is a non-surgical body contouring option combined with whole body vibration, using low-level lasers on areas including the chin, abdomen, upper and lower back, waist, buttocks, arms and underarms. Sessions are approximately one hour. We suggest scheduling treatments 2 to 3 times per week. Drink plenty of water before and after, and wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.
