FAQs

Laser hair removal is a safe, effective treatment that uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. The laser emits a gentle beam of light that’s absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair, converting to heat and disabling the follicle without harming the surrounding skin. This treatment can be used on almost any area of the body, including the face, underarms, bikini line, legs, and back. It offers long-term reduction in unwanted hair and leaves the skin smoother over time. Multiple sessions are recommended since hair grows in cycles, and the laser can only target follicles in their active growth phase. With consistent treatments, most clients experience up to 90% permanent hair reduction. Laser hair removal is safe for most skin types when performed by trained professionals using advanced equipment..

• Proper preparation helps you achieve the best and safest results from your laser hair removal treatments. 
• 2–3 Days Before Your Appointment: Shave the treatment area 24–48 hours before your session. The laser targets the hair root, not the surface hair, so shaving allows the laser to reach the follicle effectively.
• Avoid waxing, sugaring, or tweezing for at least 3–4 weeks prior, as these remove the root that the laser needs to target.                                  1–2 Weeks Before: 
• Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners. Sunburned or tanned skin increases the risk of irritation and pigmentation changes.
• Stop using active skincare ingredients (like retinol, glycolic acid, or exfoliants) on the treatment area. Refrain from chemical peels or intense exfoliation treatments.                                                                          
• Day of Your Appointment: Arrive with clean, dry skin—no makeup, lotion, deodorant, or perfume on the area to be treated. Wear loose, comfortable clothing if treating larger areas. If you’re concerned about sensitivity, you may take an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before your session. 
• Important Note: Inform your provider of any medications you are taking, especially antibiotics, Accutane, or photosensitive drugs, as these can increase skin sensitivity. Following these steps helps ensure your treatment is safe, comfortable, and delivers optimal results

• Your laser technician will cleanse and prep the treatment area, then apply a cooling gel or use a chilled tip to help keep you comfortable. As the laser pulses, you’ll feel quick, warm snaps—often compared to the feeling of a rubber band lightly flicking the skin. Some areas are more sensitive than others, but the sensation is very brief and tolerable. Each pulse targets the hair follicle pigment, disabling future growth while leaving surrounding skin unharmed. Sessions typically last anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

• Proper aftercare is essential to protect your skin and ensure the best long-term results from your laser hair removal treatments. 
• Your skin may feel slightly warm, pink, or sensitive for a few hours after your session—this is completely normal. 
• Immediately After Treatment: Apply a cool compress or soothing aloe vera gel to calm the skin if needed. 
• Avoid hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms for 24–48 hours. Refrain from exercise, sweating, or tight clothing that may cause friction on the treated area. 
• Do not pick, scratch, or exfoliate the skin—let it heal naturally.        
• Sun Protection: Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks after treatment. Always use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher on the treated areas, even when indoors or on cloudy days. 
• Hair Shedding: You may notice treated hairs shedding over the next 7–21 days—this is a normal part of the process. Do not wax, tweeze, or sugar between sessions; only shave if necessary. 
• Skin Care Tips: Keep the area moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free lotion. Avoid active skincare ingredients such as retinol, glycolic acid, or scrubs for about 5–7 days post-treatment. I
• f you experience mild redness or irritation, aloe vera or a soothing barrier cream can help. 
• Consistency Is Key: Laser hair removal works best with a series of treatments, typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart, to target hair during its active growth phase.

Laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction by targeting and disabling hair follicles during their active growth phase. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are needed to effectively target all follicles. Most clients need 6–8 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Areas with thicker or darker hair may require additional sessions, while finer or lighter hair may need fewer. After completing your initial series, you can expect up to 90% permanent hair reduction. Some hair may regrow over time due to hormones or other factors, but it typically grows back finer and lighter. Maintenance sessions once or twice a year help preserve smooth, lasting results.

• Laser hair removal is not recommended during pregnancy. While there’s no concrete evidence showing that laser treatments are unsafe for pregnant women, there also haven’t been enough studies to confirm that they’re completely risk-free. During pregnancy, hormonal changes can make the skin more sensitive and may cause temporary pigmentation shifts, which increases the chance of irritation or uneven results. Additionally, your body may experience new hair growth patterns that often stabilize after childbirth. For your safety and comfort, it’s best to wait until after pregnancy (and breastfeeding, if applicable) to begin or continue laser treatments. Your provider can help you create a personalized plan and schedule your sessions when it’s safe to resume.
