FAQ

Immediately after treatment the area may feel like you have a slight sun burn, increased redness and possible swelling. You need to avoid excess heat such as hot tubs, saunas, excessive workouts and hot showers or baths for 24 to 48 hours. During the first 7 to 14 days after treatment you will notice the hairs coming to the surface and falling out.

During this time, you should be avoiding sun exposure. Do not wax, tweeze or epilate between treatments. Shave as needed between your laser appointments.

You may experience slight reddening or local swelling at the treatment site, but this typically goes away within hours. Less common side effects include blistering or bruising but this tends to resolve itself quickly. The skin may also become lighter or darker following treatment but will generally return to normal within a few weeks. Limiting sun exposure before and after treatments will minimize any risks.

Doctors typically advise women to avoid cosmetic laser treatments during pregnancy because no studies have been done to prove that it is safe for you and your baby. Due to the lack of research, we do not treat anyone during
pregnancy.

Laser and light sources produce a bright beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment in hair, thus causing damage to the hair shaft and follicle without damaging the surrounding tissue.

Depending on the density of hair, color of the hair and hormonal factors, the number of treatments required varies from 8-12, spaced 4-6 weeks apart for the face and 6-8 weeks apart for the torso, and 8-9 weeks apart for the legs.

The FDA has cleared lasers for permanent reduction of unwanted hair and the results are excellent. Although no one can guarantee complete and permanent removal of unwanted hair, we can assure you that laser hair removal is the most advanced and effective procedure today and clients are extremely content with the results.

Clients describe the sensation to be like a small snap of an elastic band. Our laser uses a cool spray that pulses directly before and after the laser beam, making the treatment quite comfortable.

The area being treated needs to be shaved the night before or the morning of your appointment. The closer the shave, the better. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds and tanning lotions a minimum of 2 weeks prior to your treatment.
