Laser Hair Removal FAQ

Laser hair removal uses light energy to weaken and reduce hair growth. The laser targets the hair root, leading to long-lasting results with smoother skin.

The laser’s light is absorbed by the dark pigment in hair, heating the follicle and slowing or stopping future growth. Over multiple sessions, hair becomes thinner and lighter.

Laser hair removal greatly reduces hair for a long time. Most clients see long-term smoothness, but occasional touch-ups (1–2 times/year) may be needed.

We use the Candela GentleMax Pro, renowned for its speed, safety, and effectiveness on all skin types. It also features a cooling spray for added comfort.

Yes. When done by trained professionals, laser hair removal is very safe. We maintain strict hygiene and professional standards.

Yes. The Candela GentleMax Pro is designed to treat a wide range of skin tones, from very light to very dark.

It works best on darker, thicker hair because the laser targets the pigment. Very light or white hair may not respond well.

Most people describe it as a slight snap, like a rubber band. The cold spray feature significantly reduces discomfort.

Mild redness or warmth is common right after treatment. This typically subsides quickly.

We recommend waiting until after pregnancy, as hormone changes can affect skin sensitivity.

We suggest talking to your doctor first. There is no proven risk, but caution is always wise.

If you have diabetes, skin conditions, or take certain medications (like acne treatments, antibiotics), please inform us beforehand to ensure safety.

We cannot treat over tattoos, as the laser may affect the ink. We can, however, treat surrounding areas.

Most areas can be treated, including:

• Face (except eyebrows)
• Underarms
• Arms
• Legs
• Bikini
• Back
• Chest
• Neck

Absolutely. Full body laser packages are popular, covering multiple areas for comprehensive results.

Yes! We treat men and women. Many men target back, chest, or beard lines for a clean look.

• Shave the area 1 day before
• No waxing or plucking beforehand
• Avoid creams or deodorant on treatment day
• No sun exposure for 1–2 weeks prior

It’s better to avoid these before your session, as they may increase skin sensitivity.

• Apply aloe vera or a cold pack if skin feels warm
• Avoid hot showers or saunas for 1–2 days
• No sun exposure for 1–2 weeks
• Use sunscreen if you go outside

Yes, but wait 3–5 days to let the area rest. Avoid waxing or plucking between sessions.

Wait at least 1–2 days before intense exercise, as sweat and heat can irritate treated skin.

On average, 6–8 sessions are needed. Hair grows in cycles, and multiple treatments ensure we catch all active follicles.

Typically 4 to 6 weeks, giving your skin time to rest and allowing different hair growth cycles to emerge.

Some hair may eventually return, but it’s often finer and lighter. Occasional touch-ups maintain optimal smoothness.
