FAQ
The Answers You Need
ARE TREATMENTS PAINFUL?
Our machine offers comfortable treatments and at most feels like a rubber band snapping against the skin. Some patients may experience some discomfort related to the heat produced within the tissue or by the cooling used to protect the surface of the skin. Your provider will be checking with you about your comfort during the entire session and adjust the parameters if needed.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED AND HOW FREQUENTLY?
Generally 6-8 sessions are recommended for permanent hair removal (up to 90%). Depending upon each individuals hormone regulation/levels and thickness of hair, more sessions may be required. Sessions are spaced 4-6 weeks apart for the face, 6-8 weeks for the body and 8-10 weeks apart for men.
WHAT ARE INDICATORS OF A SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT?
Indicators of successful treatment are when you experience a mild irritation of the hair follicles including redness and swelling around the follicle immediately after the treatment, as well as the famous “smell of success” or the smell of burnt hair during the session.
DO I NEED TO SHAVE BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT?
Yes. Please shave 12-24 hours before your appointment. In areas where your hair grows fast, please shave the day of treatment. There should be no hair or stubble on the treatment area. Please see our Shaving Policy for more information.
DO I NEED TO WEAR A MASK?
Yes. A mask must be worn upon arrival/departure and during the session. Masks can only be removed for treatment of the face. Please see our Mask Policy for more information.
I HAVE TATTOOS. CAN I GET LASERED?
Yes! While lasering over a tattoo will distort it, we outline your tattoos with a white liner and laser around them.
If you're planning on getting a tattoo, it is important to plan ahead and complete your laser sessions first.
I GOT A WAX 2 WEEKS AGO. WHEN CAN I START LASER?
You can start laser 4 weeks after your last wax. It is important that you only shave the treatment area until your appointment and in-between sessions. Do not wax, thread, pluck/tweeze/epilate or use depilatory creams 4 weeks before your appointment.
I REGULARLY GO TANNING. CAN I GET LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
Yes! You can receive laser treatments 4 weeks after your last tan. It is important that you do not artificially tan or have direct sun exposure to the treatment area for 4 weeks prior to your appointment.
