Laser hair removal works by emitting a concentrated beam of light absorbed by the pigment in the hair. This light energy converts into heat, damaging the hair follicles and inhibiting future growth.

Most clients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or snapping, which is well-tolerated. The built-in cooling system helps minimize any discomfort.

The duration of a laser hair removal session varies depending on the size of the treatment area. Smaller areas like the upper lip or underarms can take as little as 10-15 minutes, while larger areas like the back or legs may take up to an hour.

Laser hair removal offers long-lasting hair reduction, but it may not be entirely permanent. Most clients experience significant hair reduction that lasts for several months to years. Occasional maintenance sessions may be needed to maintain the results.

Laser hair removal is most effective on dark hair because the laser targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle. It is less effective on very light, blonde, gray, or red hair, as these hair colors have less pigment for the laser to target.

Laser hair removal can be performed on almost any area of the body where unwanted hair grows, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, back, chest, bikini line, and more.

If you have unwanted hair and are looking for a long-term solution, you may be a good candidate for laser hair removal.

During your consultation, we’ll assess your suitability for the treatment.

It’s best to avoid using skincare products containing active ingredients like retinoids, acids, or vitamin C on the treatment area for a few days before your session. These products can make your skin more sensitive and increase the risk of irritation.

If you miss a session, it’s essential to reschedule as soon as possible. Skipping sessions can delay your progress, as the treatment works best when performed consistently according to your hair growth cycles.
