FAQs

How many sessions does laser hair removal require and how often are they recommended?

Typically, 6-8 sessions for “full” hair reduction, but this number varies depending on hair color, density, genetics, hormones, etc. Each session is spaced 4-6 weeks apart and should not be extended out further.

Do I shave before LHR?

Yes, unless advised otherwise, please come in for your appointment clean-shaven. No need to wait for grow-out like waxing!

Does LHR hurt/what does it feel like?

Everyones pain tolerance is different. It is painful and can feel like snapping rubber bands with each pulse, or like a zap of energy. Although it hurts, it does go by very quickly and the results are 100% worth it for most people.

Which treatment is best suited for brightening/sun spot reduction?

There are a few different options for treating uneven or dark skin. One is a series of advanced chemical peels, because they help to slough away old skin cells and renew new, fresh ones at a deep level. Another great option is an IPL Photofacial which uses pulses of light energy (laser) to even complexion. Brightening Collagen Induction Therapy (or Microneedling) is also recommended to give an overall brightening to the skin as well as reduce fine lines and help rebuild collagen and elastin.
