Frequently Asked Questions

Our advanced laser machine has 3 settings in one to allow us to treat light and dark skin types alike. The lighter your hair the more sessions that may be required to achieve optimal results.

The number of treatments required for long-term benefits varies on the area being treated, along with your hair density, depth of color and the hair's natural growth cycle. Age, diet, medications, and hormones can also be important factors in how the laser works on hair.

There are three phases of hair growth — Anagen (active), Catagen (regression) and Telogen (resting). Lasers are designed to treat hair in the first phase, the Anagen phase of growth.

Each client is unique however, it is recommended that you do an average of 6-8 treatments spaced every 3-4 weeks apart.

• Avoid tanning, body bronzing and tanning beds for two weeks prior to treatment and wear sunscreen as part of your daily routine.
• Do not wax or have electrolysis three weeks prior to treatment. You may use a depilatory cream until 14 days prior to treatment. You must shave 24 hours prior to treatment.
