Frequently asked questions

How many sessions are required with laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal requires multiple treatment sessions as we can only remove hair in the growth phase known as anagen. The number of sessions depends on the area to be treated, the thickness and colour of the hair, skin type and the specific needs of each patient. We say to start with a minimum of 6 sessions and see how you get on. Some people may need more.

How long does the treatment last?

The duration depends on the size of the area to be treated. An upper lip may take seconds on the laser. Up to 5 minutes each for underarms and legs can take 15-20 mins. A full body can take less than 1 hour from start to finish, including prep and getting dressed/undressed.

Do treatments have any side effects?

The risks are minimal, and most of them are reversible. The most common reactions include redness, residual erythema, and perifollicular edema however most of these occur in a small percentage of clients and they go away on their own after a few hours. This is often the bodys natural healing triggers!

Do you shave before laser hair removal?

Yes, on the body. On the face we request you leave the area between sessions so we can closely monitor the progress for you and use the best settings as the hair can get very light and thin quickly. The body is fine to shave if you see any growth.

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal involves the use of laser pulses. These pulses emit light into the skin that destroys the root and follicle of the hair.
