FAQ on Laser Hair Removal
We have listed, for your ready reference, the frequently asked questions by our clients:
What is Laser? How does it work?
Laser is simply a “light”. The hair removal process involves directing a beam of laser light to a group of hair follicles with enough power to disable or destroy the root while not harming the surrounding skin. The laser beam identifies the hair follicles by targeting melanin (the substance that gives skin and hair color). It is important to note that the laser process will not work well on people that have red, white, gray or blond hair
Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
The new technology is capable of 80-99% permanent reduction for ALL skin types, male and female, and for ALL body areas (except around the eyes). The number of sessions needed to achieve these results can vary from person to person depending on many factors such as age, skin type, amount of hair, hair color, hair texture, etc. In any event, if we agree to treat you, we stand behind our Guarantee.
How many sessions do I need for a permanent hair removal?
It depends on several factors: Thick hair responds better than thin hair, darker hair responds faster than the lighter ones. Six sessions of laser treatment for dark thick hair may induce about 80 to 90% of hair reduction. We can achieve, for lighter and finer hair, about the same reduction in growth however after the standard 6 sessions of laser treatment. Of course results can vary from person to person and you could get better results than others.
How do I know when to come for my next treatment?
The average waiting period between treatments is 4 to 8 weeks. Appointments should be scheduled within one week of seeing hair growth. Observe the hair growth and our specialist will advise you.
How do I know if laser hair removal treatments are working for me?
You will see results after the VERY FIRST treatment. You will have fewer hairs and they will be finer and weaker. Your skin will be smoother and your hair pores becomes less visible. The results will become more impressive with each successive treatment.
How long do I wait between each session?
-
Facial Hair: Typically, facial treatments are scheduled 6 to 8 weeks apart. This is usually when you start to see new hair growth.
-
Lower Legs: Legs are the best area for laser hair removal. Within 3 treatments you will achieve smooth and ingrown-free legs with at least 50% hair reduction. The first 3 treatments are generally scheduled 6 to 8 weeks apart but after these initial treatments you may not notice new growth for 8 to 12 weeks.
-
Male Back and Chest: Initial treatments are generally scheduled 6 to 8 weeks apart, but from our experience, after four treatments, you can wait approximately three months between treatments.
-
Under arms, Bikini and Upper Legs: Treatments should be scheduled 6 to 8 weeks apart.
Will I have hair between the sessions? How will I look?
The treated area will be cleared of the majority of visible hair during the treatment. Remaining treated hair will shed in approximately two weeks. Depending on the area, the skin will remain clear and smooth for 4 to 6 weeks before seeing fine hairs starting to grow again. Repeating the sessions on schedule, the area will remain hair free throughout the entire multiple session procedure. The treated area/s will look clear and smooth.
Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?
Most individuals experience no more than a slight stinging sensation as the laser pulses are applied. Some parts of the body do tend to be more sensitive than others. A topical numbing cream can be applied.
What are the risks or the likely side effects?
Immediately following a laser treatment, clients can experience reddened and puffy skin. It feels somewhat like a mild sunburn.
This effect disappears in a few minutes to a few hours. Many clients schedule treatments during their lunch break and return to their offices with no visible indications.
Is Laser Hair Removal for everyone?
Laser hair removal will not work on white, gray, light red or light blond hair.
What is the cost of laser hair removal?
Prices are usually based on the size of the treated area per session or as per the designed packages of 4 to 6 sessions. Since most people do need at least 4 sessions, buying a package offer will be more cost effective for you.
