Glutes are one of those areas you forget about until you book a beach trip, try on a thong-cut swimsuit, or notice in a mirror at the gym that the hair pattern is no longer something you want to keep up with. The skin on the cheeks is sensitive but the hair is often coarse, which is the opposite of what most clients expect. Sessions at ABL Med Spa run 25 to 30 minutes, the price is $120 per visit, and a planned series of 6 to 8 sessions gets most clients to maintenance. The aftercare for glutes is mostly about not sitting in a hot pool deck the next day.
What makes our glutes LHR different
The glutes are deceptive. The surface area is reasonable, the hair pattern is usually well-defined, and yet a lot of providers treat the area poorly because they rush through the fold where the glute meets the thigh, miss the top of the buttocks where it transitions into the lower back, or skip the inner edge where the cheeks meet. Each of those is a high-visibility spot in a swimsuit, and each one needs deliberate attention rather than a quick pass with the same setting as the main glute surface.
Our providers work the area in zones: outer cheek surface, top transition, inner edge, and the underglute fold. The settings differ across each zone because the skin thickness and the hair density differ. The top transition (where the lower back meets the buttocks) often has finer hair that needs lower energy with tighter cooling. The underglute fold has thicker skin and coarser hair, so we run it at the standard setting but slower, with the leg lifted to flatten the fold for clean contact.
We work on two devices for a reason. The Diode handles Fitzpatrick I through III at speed. The Clarity II covers Fitzpatrick IV through VI safely, including darker skin tones where the glutes pigment more easily after sun exposure. If your skin tone shifts over the year, we change devices instead of dropping energy below what the follicle needs to be destroyed.
What to expect at your glutes session
The day before your appointment, shave the entire treatment zone. Both cheeks, the top of the buttocks, the inner edge between the cheeks, and the underglute fold. If you cannot reach part of the area comfortably, leave it. We will trim what is needed when you arrive at no extra charge. A partner can help the night before if that is easier.
At your appointment, you will change into a gown and lie face-down on a heated table with a draped sheet. Your provider will outline the treatment area with a wax pencil, especially the transition zones, so you both agree on the boundary. We confirm any sun exposure, new medications, or skin changes since your last visit.
The treatment itself is steady. Sapphire-cooled handpiece, overlapping passes, a series of warm snaps that most clients describe as a rubber band flick followed by a cool spot. The underglute fold and the inner edge are the most sensitive zones; the outer cheek is the easiest. If you want a numbing cream applied beforehand, mention it when you book and we will set it on 30 minutes before your slot.
From start to finish, plan on 25 to 30 minutes in the room. You will walk out with the area slightly pink, which settles within an hour. You can drive yourself home, sit comfortably (a cushion is not required), and return to your normal routine the same day.
Aftercare for glutes LHR
For the first 24 hours, skip hot baths, the sauna, hot yoga, spin class, and anything that is going to trap heat and moisture against the area. Cool to lukewarm showers and loose cotton underwear are the entire protocol on day one. A fragrance-free moisturizer applied to the cheeks at bedtime helps. Aloe is fine if you have a piece going.
For the first 48 hours, sun exposure on the area is out. That means no thong tanning, no pool day in a cheeky swimsuit, no nude sunbathing if that is part of your routine. If you must be outside in a swimsuit that exposes the treated zone, mineral SPF 50 on the cheeks is the rule. The glutes pigment more easily than people expect because the skin is usually pale (it spends most of the year covered) and reacts strongly when first exposed.
Around days 7 to 14, you will see what looks like new hair pushing through. It is not new growth. The laser has disrupted the follicle and the hair shaft is being shed from below. A loofah or washcloth in the shower speeds this up. The area may feel patchy for about a week, then smooths out.
Between sessions, the only allowed hair removal method on the treated zone is shaving. Waxing, sugaring, threading, and plucking all pull the follicle out of the cycle the laser needs to hit. If you wax the glutes between sessions, the next appointment cannot do anything meaningful and you essentially pay for a placeholder. Shave when needed, including the day of your next visit.

Pricing & packages
Glutes laser hair removal is $120 per session at ABL Med Spa. Plan on a series of 6 to 8 sessions to reach the maintenance phase, then a touch-up every 6 to 12 months keeps results in place for most clients. ABL members on our monthly plan receive a reduced per-session rate across all laser treatments. Your free 20-minute consultation with Gaby covers the skin assessment, device choice, and the full plan before you commit to anything.
Frequently asked questions
Does glutes include the area between the cheeks?
No, that area is part of the brazilian treatment. The glutes service covers the outer cheek surface, the top of the buttocks, the underglute fold, and the inner edge where the cheeks meet. If you want the strip between the cheeks treated too, the brazilian plus glutes combination handles the full back-half coverage.
Can I sit normally right after the appointment?
Yes. There is no recovery time or seat restriction. The area may feel slightly warm for an hour, similar to a mild sunburn, but you can drive home, sit at a desk, and go about your evening. We just ask you to skip a hot tub or sauna for 24 hours.
I work out a lot. Will sweat irritate the treated area?
For the first 24 hours, yes, sweat and friction from leggings can irritate freshly treated follicles. After 24 hours you can return to your normal routine, including squats, deadlifts, and spin class. Most clients book treatments on a rest day or the night before one.
Will the laser affect ingrown hairs on the area?
Yes, in a useful way. Many clients book glutes specifically because they get persistent ingrowns from shaving or waxing. As the follicles are eliminated through the series, the ingrowns clear up on their own. By session 3 or 4 the chronic ingrown pattern is usually broken.
