Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How does laser hair removal work?

A. During treatment, a light beam penetrates the sub-dermal skin layer and is absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair follicle. The energy is powerful enough to denaturize the hair follicle and inhibit future hair growth, yet gentle enough to leave the surrounding tissue unharmed.

 

Q. How should I prepare for my appointment?

A.To avoid making the skin any more sensitive than it already is, do not seek out tanning, including self-tanning products. The skin should also be protected from the sun with an appropriate sunblock. Additionally, other hair removal methods like waxing, tweezing and electrolysis should be avoided for at least a month prior to each treatment. However, shaving should be done within 2 days of the treatment and on the day of the treatment, avoid perfumes, lotions or other skin products.

A.Results start to show after two sessions

 

Q. How long is my recovery?
