Frequently Asked Questions


How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target pigment in the hair follicle. The heat disables the follicle’s ability to regrow hair, resulting in long-term hair reduction after a series of treatments.


Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal provides permanent reduction, meaning the majority of treated hairs will not return. Some maintenance sessions may be needed over time due to hormones or dormant follicles.


How many sessions will I need?

Most clients need 6 to 8 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Areas with coarse or dense hair, such as the bikini or underarms, may respond faster than finer areas like the face.


What areas can be treated?

We can treat nearly every area of the body including
Underarms
Arms and legs
Bikini and Brazilian
Back and chest
Upper lip, chin, and sideburns
Jawline, neck, and abdomen


Does it hurt?

Most clients describe the feeling as a quick snap or warm pinch. It is far more comfortable than waxing, and most areas are treated in under 15 minutes.


Can I shave before my appointment?

Yes. We ask that you shave the area within 24 hours before your treatment. Do not wax, pluck, or use hair removal creams, as the follicle must be intact for the laser to work.


Is it safe for all skin types?

Our Rohrer Spectrum laser is effective and safe for most skin tones. During your consultation, we assess your skin and hair to ensure the safest, most effective settings for your treatment plan.


Are there any side effects?

Temporary redness, warmth, or mild swelling are normal. These typically subside within a few hours. Serious side effects are rare when pre- and post-care instructions are followed properly.


Is there any downtime?

There is no required downtime. You can return to work or daily activities immediately, but you’ll want to avoid hot showers, intense workouts, or sun exposure for the first 24 hours.


What should I avoid after treatment?

Avoid sun exposure, heat, exfoliating products, and tight clothing over the treated area for 24 to 48 hours. Use SPF daily and avoid tanning or waxing between sessions.


How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on the size of the area and whether you purchase single sessions or a discounted package. We’ll provide a full quote during your consultation.


Can I combine laser hair removal with other services?

Yes. Many clients combine laser hair removal with facials, injectables, or other laser services on a custom schedule. We’re happy to build a personalized treatment plan.
