Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Treatment Hurt?
No, this treatment is not painful. It uses a laser that heats up the hair follicle, removing the pigment and stopping the cycle of hair regrowth at the source. The laser does not harm the surrounding skin. You do not have to be concerned with pain as a result of this treatment. It is completely painless!
2. How Do I Know if It’s Right for Me?
If you have unwanted hair on your arms, legs, underarms, bikini area, back or other areas, it is likely that this treatment is one that can help you reach your goals. This treatment is highly effective, and with the right amount of treatments will stop hair from returning altogether. If you’re still unsure, our staff can take a look at your unwanted hair and give you a better idea of the number of sessions you will need.
3. Is This Treatment Safe?
Of course. This treatment has been being used for many years without incident. The laser that is used is completely safe and poses no risk to your or your skin. You do not have to worry about your safety when it concerns this treatment option.
4. How Long Does Treatment Take?
Most treatment sessions are going to take about 30 minutes or less. However, if you are having a larger area treated, or more than 1 area, the treatment session may run a bit longer. Either way, the treatment itself is very quick!
5. Can I Have More Than One Area Treated During the Same Session?
Of course! If you want unwanted hair removed from the bikini area and the legs, both can be treated during the same session. The treatment is both effective and safe enough to use in multiple areas. So, if you do have more than 1 area that you would like to have treated, to save time, you can have them all treated during the same session!
6. What if I Have Thicker Hair?
If you do have thicker hair or hair that is darker, you will likely need more treatment sessions than a person with thinner, lighter hair would need, but this treatment can still help! Again, once our staff takes a look at the area, they can determine how many treatment sessions you may need before the hair stops coming back for good.
7. Can It Damage My Skin?
Of course not! The laser that is used bypasses the surrounding skin and focuses only on the hair follicle. There is no risk of damage to your skin. Actually, many people notice that their skin is smoother after treatment which is probably because their skin is no longer having to deal with other methods of hair removal that can dry out the skin.
8. Is There Downtime?
Not at all. As soon as your treatment session is over, you can get back to your day without worry. A lot of people have even had this treatment during their lunch break before returning to work the same day. You do not have to be concerned with fitting downtime into your schedule because none is required as a result of this treatment!
9. Is This Treatment Only for Women?
Not at all! This treatment is for any person who has unwanted hair they would rather stop returning. Many areas where unwanted hair is common can be treated. Men and women can both get rid of unwanted hair! More men are deciding to give this treatment and others like it a try so they can also be free of dealing with unwanted hair.
10. How Do I Prepare for Treatment?
There is nothing special that you should do before your treatment session. Actually, it is wise to simply let the unwanted hair grow before your treatment session. This will allow the laser to target the hair follicle while it is in different stages of growth. And, that will make the treatment work even better!
