Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is laser hair removal?
A: Laser hair removal is a non-invasive method of removing unwanted hair by using laser light to target the hair follicles. The laser heats up the hair follicle and damages it, which leads to the hair falling out and prevents future hair growth.
Q: How does laser hair removal work?
A: Laser hair removal works by targeting the hair follicle with a concentrated beam of light. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, which then converts to heat and destroys the hair follicle. This leads to a permanent reduction in hair growth.
Q: Is laser hair removal painful?
A: Laser hair removal may cause some discomfort, which is generally described as a mild sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. We use a state-of-the-art cooling system during the procedure to help minimize any discomfort.
Q: How long does a laser hair removal session take?
A: The length of a laser hair removal session depends on the area being treated. Small areas like the upper lip or underarms can take as little as 15 minutes, while larger areas like the legs can take up to an hour.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: The number of sessions needed for laser hair removal depends on various factors, such as the size of the treatment area, hair thickness, and hair color. On average, most people need between 6-8 sessions, each spaced about 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results.

For clients with skin sensitivity or specific concerns, we will provide you with specific instructions on how to prepare for your session.
Q: Can I still shave between laser hair removal sessions?
A: While you can still shave between laser hair removal sessions, you should avoid plucking, waxing, or threading the hair as these methods can remove the hair follicle, which is necessary for the laser to target.
Q: What is electrolysis and how does it work?
A: Electrolysis is a hair removal technique that involves inserting a tiny needle (probe) into the hair follicle. A small electric current is then applied to the probe, damaging the hair follicle and prevents further hair growth.
