Laser Hair Removal Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated light beams to target and destroy hair follicles, inhibiting future growth and providing long-lasting hair reduction.
Is laser hair removal safe for all skin types?
Yes, our access to both Nd:YAG and Alexandrite technology allows us to perform safe and effective hair removal on all skin types. We customize each treatment to suit your skin tone and hair color, ensuring optimal results with minimal risk.
How many sessions will I need for optimal results?
Most clients achieve optimal results within 6 sessions, though this may vary based on individual factors such as hair type and treatment area. Our specialists will create a personalized treatment plan for your specific needs.
How should I prepare for a laser hair removal session?
To prepare for your session, avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks prior. Shave the treatment area a day before your appointment, and avoid waxing or plucking, as these can disrupt the hair follicles.
Are there any side effects or risks associated with laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is generally safe with minimal side effects, which may include temporary redness or swelling. Our team will guide you through post-treatment care to ensure a smooth recovery and address any concerns.
How long does each laser hair removal session take?
The duration of each session varies depending on the treatment area. Smaller areas like the upper lip can take just a few minutes, while larger areas such as the legs may take up to an hour.
Can I shave between laser hair removal sessions?
Yes, you can shave between sessions, but avoid waxing or plucking as these can interfere with the effectiveness of the treatment. Shaving does not affect the follicles targeted by the laser.
What should I expect after a laser hair removal treatment?
After your treatment, you may experience slight redness or swelling, which usually subsides within a few hours. Your technician will provide detailed aftercare instructions.
