Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Hair Removal, Injectables, and Skin Treatments
LASER HAIR REMOVAL
-
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap, similar to an elastic band against the skin.
Our laser technology includes advanced cooling to improve comfort during treatment. Sensitivity can vary depending on the area being treated, but sessions are generally well tolerated and very quick.
-
Laser hair removal works by targeting hair during its active growth phase, which is why multiple sessions are required.
Most clients need 6 to 8 sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
-
Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction.
After completing the recommended treatment plan, most clients experience a significant decrease in hair growth. Occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended over time.
-
No, please avoid waxing, plucking, or threading, as these remove the hair follicle that the laser needs to target.
-
Yes. The treatment area must be shaved prior to laser hair removal.
For best results, we recommend shaving the night before your appointment. This allows the laser to effectively target the hair follicle beneath the skin.

Laser treatments are safest and most effective when your skin is close to its natural tone.
If your skin is recently tanned from sun exposure or tanning products, we may recommend postponing your treatment until the tan fades.
