Laser Hair Removal

FAQ

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal uses focused light energy to target and destroy hair follicles, reducing hair growth over time. The laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair, making it effective in disabling active growth follicles.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

While laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, it may not permanently eliminate all hair. Most clients experience substantial and long-lasting reduction, but occasional maintenance sessions might be required.

What areas of the body can be treated?

Almost any area with unwanted hair can be treated, including the face, underarms, bikini area, legs, arms, chest, and back. Specific areas like the full face, neck, and more targeted spots are also common treatment choices.

How many sessions will I need?

Typically, clients require 6-8 sessions to achieve optimal results, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. This varies based on hair color, type, and area being treated.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Clients may experience a sensation often compared to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. Discomfort is minimal and temporary, and many modern lasers include cooling devices to reduce this sensation.

Can anyone undergo laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is most effective on individuals with dark hair and light skin because the laser targets the pigment in the hair. However, advances in technology have made it possible for treatments to be more effective on a wider range of skin types and hair colors. A consultation will determine your suitability.

What should I do before and after treatment?

Before treatment, avoid sun exposure, tanning, and waxing for at least six weeks. Post-treatment, protect the treated area from the sun and avoid heat treatments for a few days.

What are the side effects of laser hair removal?

Side effects are rare and usually mild, including temporary redness, swelling, and, less commonly, pigment changes in the treated area. Adhering to pre- and post-care instructions significantly minimizes these risks.

Waxing

FAQ

What is waxing and how does it work?

Waxing is a hair removal method where warm wax is applied to the skin and removed quickly, pulling hair out from the root. This leaves the skin smooth and hair-free for weeks.

How long do the results last?

Results can vary, but typically, clients enjoy smooth, hair-free skin for 3 to 6 weeks. The duration depends on individual hair growth cycles and how regularly you wax.

Is waxing painful?

The discomfort level can vary based on individual pain tolerance and the area being waxed. Most clients report a quick, stinging sensation that subsides rapidly. Regular waxing can reduce the pain over time as hair becomes finer.

What areas can be waxed?

Almost any area of the body with unwanted hair can be waxed, including the eyebrows, face, bikini area, legs, arms, back, abdomen, and feet.

What aftercare is recommended post-waxing?

Avoid sun exposure, hot showers, swimming, and sweating for 24-48 hours to prevent irritation. Use a gentle exfoliant a few days after waxing to prevent ingrown hairs, and moisturize the area regularly.

Can anyone get waxed?

Most people can safely get waxed, but it’s not recommended for individuals with certain skin conditions, on blood thinners, or using retinol-based skincare products. Consult with our estheticians if you have concerns.

How often should I get waxed?

  1. Scheduling waxing appointments every 4-6 weeks is recommended to maintain smooth skin and align with the hair growth cycle.

Are there any side effects?

Some clients may experience temporary redness, slight swelling, or minor bumps, which typically subside within a few hours to a few days. Following aftercare advice helps minimize these effects.
