FAQs

Laser hair removal is a process where laser beams are directed at hair follicles. The energy from these beams heats the melanin in the hair shaft, extending down to the bulb and bulge of the follicle. This heating process targets the pigment in the hair, effectively treating the follicle to reduce hair growth.

Typically, 10-12 treatments are required for optimal results. This is because laser hair removal is most effective during the anagen (growth) phase of hair, and different body areas have varying percentages of hair in this phase. It's important to note that while many clients experience long-term hair reduction, the treatment may not be permanent for everyone due to hormonal factors.

The sensation during laser hair removal can vary between individuals. Some describe it as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. To enhance comfort, our Candela GentleMax Pro Plus laser machine incorporates a dynamic cooling system, which helps minimize discomfort throughout the treatment process.

Our Candela GentleMax Pro Plus laser is indeed safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types. This dual wavelength platform combines a powerful 755 nm Alexandrite laser with a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser. This combination allows for high-performance treatments, offering speed, efficacy, ease of use, safety, and high patient satisfaction across all skin types.

Common side effects are generally mild and temporary, including slight discomfort, swelling, and redness, which typically subside within three days. To minimize potential complications, avoid tanning, waxing, and certain medications before treatment. Shave the treatment area 24-48 hours prior to your appointment and ensure the area is clean on the day of treatment. Laser hair removal can also help prevent ingrown hairs and associated discomfort.
