FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

ARE YOU A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

We treat all skin types, but grey, white, blonde and red hair cannot be treated with the laser, as only dark hair is suitable for effective therapy

IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL A PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR HAIR REDUCTION?

It is permanent, and in some individuals can expect 99% hair reductions. Usually, approximately 85% of hair density is removed after a series of treatments. You may require a touch up in the future and hormonal changes influence hair growth in the future.

INTERVALS?

Both body and face require 4-6 treatments depending on hair type, skin and hormonal changes. For best outcomes the treatments should take place 4-5 weeks apart.

CAN I TREAT ALL AREAS?

99% of facial and body hair can be treated except for eyebrows and tattooed skin.

DOES IT HURT?

Because of the unique, patented technology our laser does not require application of gel or cooling device, as the laser beam penetrates the hair follicle faster the nerve ending gets activated to send pain signal to the brain. However, at times it may feel like rubber band snapping your skin. We may apply ice or reduce the intensity of the laser power to reduce unpleasant sensation.
