FAQ
How Does Laser Hair Reduction Work?
Light Amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (Laser) Hair Reduction works by selectively concentrating light energy on the hair follicle, destroying its blood supply and leaving the surrounding skin unchanged. Hair grows in cycles of active and dormant stages. When it’s in an active state, the laser targets the dark pigmented hair in the follicle. Hairs in a dormant state are not targeted until they become active again. This growth cycle explains why treatments are provided in intervals of approximately 4-to-6 weeks.
What's the difference between laser and IPL?
Laser uses concentrated light, while IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses broad-spectrum light. Lasers are generally more precise and effective.
How many sessions will I need?
Typically, most people require around 6 to 12 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. The number varies based on factors like individual response, hair type, genetics, and hormonal change.
Are the results permanent?
Laser hair removal can lead to long-lasting reduction, but results can vary. Maintenance (touch-up) sessions might be needed to sustain results.
Are there any side effects?
Temporary redness, mild swelling, or discomfort are common side effects and usually subside within a few hours to days.
Is Laser hair removal painful?
The sensation varies, but most clients describe it as tolerable. Our Advanced Cooling Technology minimizes discomfort.
