The laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicles that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.

Laser hair removal only reduces the hair growth. It does not remove hair permanently. However, after several sessions, you can expect a significant reduction in hair growth.

The number of sessions required varies from person to person, depending on factors like hair color, skin tone, and the area being treated. Most people require 4-6 sessions for optimal results.

The pain associated with laser hair removal is often compared to the feeling of a rubber band snapping against the skin. However, pain tolerance varies from person to person. Topical anesthetics can be applied to minimize discomfort.

Some common side effects include redness, swelling, and temporary discomfort at the treatment site. Rarely, blistering, scarring, or changes in skin pigmentation may occur.

Laser hair removal works best on individuals with light skin and dark hair because the laser targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair. However, advances in technology have made it possible to treat all skin types and hair colors, although results may vary.

The duration of each session depends on the area being treated. Small areas like the upper lip can take just a few minutes, while larger areas like the back or legs can take up to an hour or more.

Recovery time is minimal, and most people can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. However, it is recommended to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen on the treated area.

The cost of laser hair removal varies depending on factors such as the location and size of the area being treated, the number of sessions required, and the clinic or practitioner providing the service.

Laser hair removal is generally considered to be safe when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner. However, as with any medical procedure, there are risks involved, so it's important to discuss your individual circumstances and concerns with your practitioner.

Yes, you can shave between laser hair removal sessions. In fact, it is recommended to shave the area to be treated a day or two before your session. However, you should avoid waxing, plucking, or using depilatory creams, as these methods remove the hair from the follicle, which is necessary for the laser treatment to be effective.

For optimal results, please shave the treatment area a day before your appointment. Avoid sun exposure, tanning products, and any hair removal methods other than shaving for at least 4-6 weeks prior.

The duration varies based on the area being treated. For instance, the upper lip may take only a few minutes, while larger areas like legs could take up to an hour.

Typically, we recommend 4-6 weeks between sessions, but this can vary depending on the treatment area and individual hair growth patterns.

Both methods use light to target hair follicles, but lasers use one wavelength, making them more precise and often more effective, especially on darker skin types. IPL uses multiple wavelengths and may require more sessions.
