Frequently Asked Questions
Laser
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal is NOT permanent. There is no laser that permanently removes hair. Laser hair removal is rightfully considered to permanently reduce hair. We tend to go through many body & hormonal changes which we cannot avoid or go around. However, every body is different. Some areas do stop growing hair back, however we can never guarantee it to be permanently gone as when your body does experience major changes internally, this hair may or may not grow back.
How many laser sessions does it take to see a difference?
For the most part, it depends on everyone’s hair type (how thick it is) & also hormones. However, many clients do end up seeing a difference right after their first session. You will begin to notice less hairs and thinner hairs each time you come in for a treatment.
Am I required to shave before & in between my treatments?
Shaving is NOT required during the entire procedure. For this laser to work, it needs the hair to be there in order to be able to pick up the pigment of the hair and burn the follicle. If you shave ahead of the treatment, we would not be able to perform the treatment. No shaving or waxing is required in between treatments either and should be avoided as doing so will result in the hairs growing back darker again hence ruining the cycle.
Does the laser work on all hair and skin types?
The laser works on all hair type other than blonde hair. If you naturally have blonde hair, this laser would not work on it as the hair needs to be a darker shade in order for the laser to pick up the pigment of the hair and burn the follicle. The laser works on all skin types.
Does the blonde hair shed off or do I need to remove it myself?
The blonde hairs following the laser treatment shed off after 4-5 days. Scrubbing and exfoliating helps fasten the shedding process. The blonde hairs can also be shaved or waxed off following the initial treatment or following the touch up treatment. This would not affect hair to grow back faster or thicker as the hairs have already been killed.
How long does 1 treatment last?
One treatment lasts anywhere between 6-8 weeks initially. During this time period, you will not be required to shave or wax. Overtime when the hair starts to become thin and patchier, sessions begin to last a longer time.
Does laser cause pigmentation?
This is possible if proper care is not taken following treatments. If proper care is taken as recommended by the technician, this can be prevented and avoided. SPF (spf 30+) will help prevent pigmentation and sun damage and should be used throughout the day, especially when under direct sunlight.
