Frequently asked questions
Does Hair Removal Hurt?
Most People Describe it as mild discomfort, similar to a warm flick. Our laser includes cooling for comfort.
Does It Reduce Hair Growth Permanently?
Laser hair removal damages the follicle, reducing hair growth over time. Most clients see 60-90% reduction depending on their skin/hair type & hormones.
How Many Sessions Are Needed
Hair grows in cycles, so treatment usually requires: 6-12 sessions 4-6weeks apart.
Can Hormones Affect Results?
Hormone conditions like PCOS, Cushing’s Disease, Menopause, Pregnancy and High Testosterone may cause more active hair follicles. Results are still excellent but some clients may need top up sessions.
Will I Need Maintenance Sessions?
Some clients may need annual or occasional top ups, especially with hormonal hair growth.
Why Can't I Wax Before Treatment?
Laser hair removal targets pigment in the hair root (the follicle). Waxing pulls the entire hair out, including that root, so therefore we ask you to ONLY shave before treatment.
When Will I See Results?
Many clients notice reduction after 2-3 sessions. Best results are seen after the full course of treatment.
How Do I Prepare For Treatment?
- Shave the area 24 hours before
- Avoid sun beds / active tans
- Avoid Retinoids /active acids on treated areas
- Tell your practitioner about any medication (eg acne meds)
What Can I Expect After?
Slight redness/heat (like mild sunburn), this is normal & temporary. Avoid heat saunas & heavy exercise 24-48 hours after.
Reassurance Note For Clients With Hormonal Hair
Conditions like PCOS and other hormonal issues are very common, and you are not alone. Laser treatment can help significantly reduce hair growth and boost confidence.
