How Laser Hair Removal Works

• Concentrated light targets melanin in the hair follicle, converting to heat.
• The follicle is disabled in its active growth phase (anagen), reducing regrowth over a series of sessions.
• Multiple sessions are needed because not all hairs are in the same phase at once.

Best Treatment Areas

• Face: upper lip, chin, beard line, cheeks, sideburns
• Body: underarms, arms, hands/fingers, chest, abdomen, back/shoulders
• Lower Body: bikini/Brazilian, buttocks, thighs, calves, feet/toes
• Special Care Zones: nape/neckline shaping, peri-areolar, linea alba

Devices & Skin Tone Matching

• Diode (≈805–810 nm): efficient for many hair/skin types; fast large-area passes
• Nd:YAG (1064 nm): safer for darker skin tones and tanned skin; lower melanin absorption at the epidermis
• Alexandrite (755 nm): optional for lighter skin with dark hair (used selectively)

Your Visit: Step-by-Step

1. Consultation & Patch Test – hair/skin assessment, device selection
2. Prep – shave the area 24 hours before (no waxing/epilation for 3–4 weeks)
3. Treatment – cooling + precise pulses; real-time setting adjustments
4. Post-Care – soothing gel + instructions; plan the next session

Course, Downtime & Results

• Sessions: typically 6–8 sessions per area, spaced 4–8 weeks apart (face often 4–6 weeks; body 6–8 weeks)
• Sensation: quick snap/heat; cooling makes it manageable
• Downtime: minimal—mild redness/follicular bumps settle in hours to 1–2 days
• Results: progressive reduction; many see 70–90% long-term reduction after a full course

Pre-Care Checklist

• ✅ Shave the area the day before (leave 1–2 mm stubble if requested)
• ✅ Avoid waxing/epilation/depilatory creams for 3–4 weeks prior
• ✅ No active tans/self-tanners; SPF on exposed areas
• ✅ Pause retinoids/acids on the area 3–5 days before (face)
• ✅ Inform us of antibiotics, isotretinoin history, photosensitizing meds

Aftercare Checklist

• ✅ Cool compress or aloe for redness
• ✅ SPF 50 on exposed areas for 2 weeks
• ✅ No hot baths/saunas/HIIT for 24–48 hours
• ✅ Don’t pluck/wax; shaving between sessions is fine
• ✅ Exfoliate gently after 3–5 days to help release “shedding” hairs

Ingrowns & Sensitive Skin

• We adjust energy and pulse widths for ingrown-prone zones (bikini, beard line).
• Post-care includes non-comedogenic hydrators and, if needed, brief anti-inflammatory care to calm bumpy follicles.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

• ✅ Dark hair on light/medium skin responds fastest; dark skin benefits from Nd:YAG; light/blonde/gray hair responds less (we’ll advise options).
• ⚠️ Postpone if pregnant, recently sunburned, or with active skin infection/herpes flare in the area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. How many sessions will I need?
Most areas need 6–8 sessions; maintenance touch-ups vary by hormones/genetics.

Q2. Can I treat if I’m tanned?
We can treat darker skin with Nd:YAG, but we’ll assess recent sun exposure to keep you safe.

Q3. Will hair stop growing forever?
Expect long-term reduction. Some fine regrowth can occur over time; quick touch-ups help maintain results.
