CHECK OUT OUR FAQS
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated light to target and destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. The laser emits light energy that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, which damages the follicle and inhibits its ability to regrow hair.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction, and for many people, it results in permanent hair removal. However, some may require maintenance sessions over time, especially for areas with fine or light hair.
Is laser hair removal safe?
Yes, laser hair removal is a safe procedure when performed by a certified professional. Modern lasers are designed to target hair follicles while leaving surrounding skin unharmed, making the treatment safe for most skin types.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions required varies depending on your hair type, skin colour, and the area being treated. Typically, most people require 6-8 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results.
What areas of the body can be treated with laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal can be performed on almost any area of the body, including the face, legs, underarms, bikini area, chest, back, and arms. It’s best to consult with a professional to determine the most suitable treatment plan for you.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Laser hair removal is generally well-tolerated, though some people experience a mild sensation, often described as a rubber band snap. Numbing creams or cooling devices may be used to make the treatment more comfortable.
Can I shave between laser hair removal sessions?
Yes, you can shave between treatments. In fact, it’s recommended to shave before each session to ensure the laser targets the hair follicle and not the hair above the surface of the skin. However, avoid waxing or plucking, as these methods remove the hair from the root, which is necessary for the laser to work.
What should I do before a laser hair removal session?
Before your session, avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and any treatments that might irritate the skin, such as waxing or chemical peels. Your technician will also ask you to shave the treatment area before your appointment.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are generally mild and temporary. You may experience redness, swelling, or slight irritation in the treated area. These side effects typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days.
Who is a good candidate for laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is most effective for individuals with light skin and dark hair. However, advancements in laser technology have made it possible to treat people with darker skin tones or lighter hair. Your consultant will evaluate your skin and hair type to determine if laser hair removal is right for you.
