Frequently Asked Questions

• What does the laser treatment feel like?

  The treatment does have a slight prickly or stinging sensation. Most of our clients are able to tolerate the treatment without difficulty. However, since every person’s level of sensitivity is different and treatment areas may vary, a topical numbing cream is available.

• What happens to the skin after laser treatment?

  Reddening of the skin is the desired reaction. The redness usually subsides within a few minutes to a few hours and returns to normal. Since the laser is not invasive in any way, no bandages are necessary. You are able to re-apply your make-up, return to work, and continue with your normal daily activities immediately following treatment.

  It has been our experience that most of our clients will have great results after 5-6 treatments. Some clients may find they require an additional touch-up treatment in the future. It is also important to understand that results may vary depending on the individual's hair type, their stress levels, certain medications and different hormone levels. Keep in mind some individuals will require fewer treatments and some will require more treatments depending on the results desired.

• Is laser hair removal permanent?

  The FDA has cleared laser hair removal for "Permanent Hair Reduction". Based on our experience we believe that the hairs effectively treated will not re-grow. Each individual's treatment response may be different because of their hair or skin type, stress levels, hormone levels, and certain medications.

• What to expect after laser treatment:

  After your initial treatment, you should enjoy a significant reduction of hair. However, it will take 2-4 weeks for the treated hair to push its way to the surface and fall out. With each treatment, the hair in the active growing phase will be effectively treated. A follow up appointment is scheduled 4-8 weeks after each treatment. With that in mind, remember the importance of maintaining your follow up appointments.

• What if I have gray, white, blonde, red or light fine hair?

  Since the laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair follicle, these hair colors may not have enough pigment to be successfully treated with the laser. If this applies to you, we may want to try a test spot to see if your hair responds to the laser.
