Whether its your first time getting laser hair removal or not, all your questions/concerns are answered here. Our FAQs cover various aspects of the treatment, including how it works, its safety, discomfort level, number of sessions needed, suitability for different skin types, permanence of results, downtime, and the body parts that can be treated.

Is laser hair removal safe?

Yes, laser hair removal is safe when performed by trained and certified professionals. We are highly skilled and prioritize your safety and comfort during the treatment.


Does laser hair removal hurt?

While laser hair removal may cause some discomfort, it is often described as a mild sensation akin to the snapping of a rubber band against the skin. We will work with you, every step of the treatment, to ensure maximum comfort.


How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal works by using targeted laser energy to heat and destroy the hair follicles. The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. This heat damages the follicles, inhibiting future hair growth. The surrounding skin remains unharmed due to the laser's ability to selectively target the hair follicles.


How many sessions do I need?

The number of laser hair removal sessions required varies depending on factors such as hair type, color, thickness, and the area being treated. Hair grows in cycles, and laser hair removal is most effective during the active growth phase. On average, most clients require 6-8 sessions spaced approximately 4-6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. However, individual results may vary, and additional sessions may be needed for maintenance or touch-ups.


Can laser hair removal be done on all skin types?

Yes, advancements in laser technology have made it possible to perform hair removal on a wide range of skin types. However, certain laser systems may be more effective for specific skin types and hair colors. It's important to schedule a consultation with our experts to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your specific needs. Our technicians will assess your skin and hair characteristics and recommend the most appropriate laser device for optimal results and safety.


Are the results of laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal can provide long-lasting results, with many clients experiencing a permanent reduction in hair growth. However, it's important to note that individual results may vary. Some clients may require occasional touch-up sessions to maintain the desired outcome due to hormonal changes or other factors that can stimulate new hair growth. The treated hair follicles that are effectively damaged by the laser will not regrow, but new hair follicles may become active over time, requiring maintenance treatments. Occasional touch-up sessions may be required to maintain the desired outcome.


Is there any downtime after laser hair removal?

There is typically no downtime after laser hair removal, and you can resume your regular activities immediately. However, you may experience some temporary side effects such as redness, mild swelling, or slight discomfort in the treated area. These effects usually subside within a few hours to a day. It is important to protect your skin from sun exposure and follow any post-treatment care instructions provided by our technicians to ensure optimal healing and minimize any potential risks.
