How effective is laser hair removal?
Our lasers have been specifically chosen because they offer the fastest
results, with the least amount of discomfort. All of our systems are FDA
approved.
Why do I need multiple sessions?
Laser hair removal requires multiple sessions in order to achieve desired
clearance. This is based primarily on biological factors – the cycle of hair
growth. We recommend a protocol of six sessions in order to achieve clearance
in the treated area.
Does the treatment hurt?
People are often amazed at how little our laser hair removal systems hurt
compared to their previous experiences with lasers. At times clients will
experience a sensation often described as a “hot pinch” or “snapping” feeling.
The sensation only lasts for a fraction of a second, and you may feel warmth or
a tingling sensation for a short time afterward. Our lasers use a chill tip
that helps to cool the dermis and neutralize any discomfort. For your convenience, we offer numbing creams
and post laser topicals to reduce any possible irritation.
Is treatment with laser safe?
Laser hair removal is very safe for the skin. There are many advances in laser
hair removal technology for all skin colors. There are no long term health
hazards from laser energies used in our systems. They are FDA approved.
What kind of results can I expect from each laser hair removal treatment?
Each laser hair removal treatment will result in a hair growth reduction. Additionally,
hair will grow progressively slower, lighter, and finer with each treatment. It
takes more than one treatment to affect all the follicles growing in an area.
Most people achieve satisfactory clearance after six treatments, but individual
results may vary depending on medical and genetic factors. Lighter colored hair
may require more treatments than darker colored hair. At the end of your
protocol, the desired outcome is 80% to 100% clearance in the treated area.
How frequently do I need treatments?
Laser hair removal treatments are usually performed every two months. Our
experienced Esthetician will design a protocol to fit your individual needs
before beginning any treatment program.
What happens after each Laser Hair Removal treatment?
Temporary pinkness of the skin lasts a very short time, and most people return
to work or normal activities immediately after treatment. The treated area will
“shed” some hair over the next 3-4 weeks, and you may experience a period of
hairlessness in the area while you wait for your next treatment.
