FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Laser Hair Removal, and how does it work?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles. The laser’s heat damages the follicles, inhibiting future hair growth and leaving your skin smooth and hair-free.
Is Laser Hair Removal permanent?
Laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, and many people experience long-lasting results of 80-90% hair reduction. However, maintenance sessions of 1-2 a year may be needed to address new or finer hair growth over time.
Which areas can be treated with Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is suitable for almost all body areas, including the face, legs, underarms, bikini line, back, chest, and arms.
Does Laser Hair Removal work on all skin types?
Yes, modern laser technology can effectively treat a variety of skin types. During your consultation, we will assess your skin and hair type to create a customized treatment plan for optimal results.
Is Laser Hair Removal painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snapping or tingling feeling. Advanced laser systems often have built-in cooling technology to minimize discomfort during the treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on factors like your hair type, skin tone, and the area being treated. Typically, 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart are needed for the best results.
How should I prepare for my Laser Hair Removal session?
Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and waxing for at least 2–4 weeks before treatment. Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment. Avoid applying lotions, oils, or makeup on the day of your session. Full pre care will be provided in the lead up to your appointment.
Are there any side effects?
Mild redness and swelling in the treated area are common but usually subside within a few hours. Following aftercare instructions reduces the risk of irritation or complications.
Can I shave between sessions?
Yes, shaving is the preferred method of hair removal between sessions, as it doesn’t disrupt the hair follicle like waxing or plucking would.
Can I get Laser hair removal while pregnant?
Laser hair removal is generally not recommended during pregnancy due to limited research on its safety. We suggest waiting until after childbirth to begin treatments.
What results can I expect?
After completing your sessions, you can expect a significant reduction in hair growth, with treated areas becoming smoother and hair-free. Maintenance sessions (1-2 a year) may be required for long-term results.
Can Laser Hair Removal treat ingrown hairs?
Yes, laser hair removal is highly effective at reducing and preventing ingrown hairs by targeting the hair follicle and stopping regrowth.
Will Laser Hair Removal work on blonde, red, or grey hair?
Laser hair removal is most effective on darker hair because the laser targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair. Lighter hair, such as blonde, red, or grey, may not respond as effectively, but a consultation can determine the best approach for your hair type.
How long does each session take?
Session times vary based on the size of the treatment area. Small areas like the upper lip may take 10–15 minutes, while larger areas like the legs or back may take up to an hour.
How soon will I see results?
You may notice a reduction in hair growth after the first session, but optimal results are typically achieved after completing a full course of treatments.
