FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is laser hair removal suitable for all skin types?
Yes. Our platforms use a technology integrating three wavelengths (Alexandrite, Diode, and Nd:YAG). This allows for optimal, effective, and safe treatment across all skin types, from very fair to dark skin.
What results can I expect after my treatments?
The treatment achieves an overall reduction in hair growth ranging from 85% to 95%. Following the sessions, the few remaining hairs will become significantly finer, lighter, and much sparser, leaving you with long-lasting smooth skin.
How many sessions are required?
Progressive improvement is generally seen after your first 4 to 6 sessions. However, as there is a normal degree of variability, the total number of sessions required will depend on the targeted area as well as the color and thickness of your hair.
Is the procedure painful?
Discomfort associated with the treatment is low to moderate. The sensation is often compared to mild heat or the snapping of a small rubber band on the skin. No anesthetic is required; our equipment uses a cooling system to soothe the skin and maximize your comfort.
Should I expect recovery time after my visit?
No, recovery is immediate and the vast majority of patients instantly resume their normal activities. However, it is completely normal to notice transient effects after the session, such as redness (erythema) or mild swelling at the base of the hair follicles.
Does laser hair removal help eliminate ingrown hairs?
Absolutely. In addition to eliminating unwanted hair, this treatment effectively prevents and eliminates ingrown hairs as well as recurring irritation frequently associated with traditional methods like shaving or waxing.
Is there any specific preparation required before my appointment?
Yes. In order to proceed with the treatment safely and properly target the hair root, prior shaving of the area to be treated is required. This shaving should ideally be done 24 hours before your session.
