FAQ’s
Laser treatment can remove unwanted hair faster and more effectively than traditional methods. Below are answers to some of the most common patient questions.
How does it work?
To eliminate hair, the laser emits gentle pulses of energy that pass through the skin to the hair follicle. This energy is then absorbed into the hair follicle to destroy it so that is unlikely to grow there again.
Am I a viable candidate for laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal can be applied to all areas of the body and on all types of skin (even tanned or dark skin).
Does it hurt?
The treatment causes only minimal discomfort. Patients often say it feels similar to the snap of a rubber band. Slight redness or localized swelling can occasionally occur, but this usually subsides within the first 24 hours after treatment.
How many treatments are required?
Typically patients will see results in the very first treatment! However it requires 5 – 8 treatments to fully achieve the result you desire. This number will vary based upon skin tone, hair color, and the amount of hair present; including several other factors. Your Laser Practitioner will talk to you about the variables that may affect your individual results.
