Frequently Asked Questions

What is Laser Hair Removal and How Does It Work?

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive method eliminating unwanted hair. Short laser pulses are delivered to areas being treated, disabling a large number of hair follicles in less than a second.

Advantages of laser hair removal over waxing, shaving, tweezing and electrolysis include a slower rate of regrowth if any, less pain and fewer visits than electrolysis, minimizing the risk of an allergic reaction Less chance of ingrown hairs. No need to wax hair prior to treatment or growing it out either.

How Long Does a Laser Hair Removal Appointment Take?

Treatment time varies on the size of the area being treated. Facial areas, underarms and bikini are usually completed in under ten minutes; larger areas, including the legs or chest will require more time.

What will the area look like after it is treated with the laser?

The hair follicles that were treated with laser may still look the same and the hair may appear as if it is continuing to grow. You may continue to shave the area, or you may simply leave it alone. In approximately two to three weeks you will notice less re-growth, and unshaved hairs will start to fall out.

How many treatments will be needed?

The number of treatments required for optimal long-term benefits depends on the area you wish to have treated, your skin type and your hair’s growth cycle. An average of 6 treatments, as hair grows in cycles and many factors influence its growth. Age, ethnicity, weight, hormones, diet, medication and metabolism all play a part in your hair’s location, thickness and resilience.
