The number of treatments needed varies from person to person. We recommend purchasing a package of 6 or 8 as a starting point, where your Laserologist will assess your progress throughout your treatment period and suggest additional sessions if needed. While we see truly remarkable results, there are clients who need a lot more treatments to see significant results.

Laser is a more permanent form of removal and requires the use of the most cutting-edge technology by our medically trained aestheticians. Waxing is a more affordable short-term option for hair removal but in the long run, monthly maintenance can add up to be equal to or more than a laser hair removal package. We have interest free financing for clients who would rather pay it off in 6 or 12 months.

You cannot wax the area for a duration of 4 weeks prior to your laser appointment. You cannot wax during your laser treatment period. You will need to shave during this time to make the hair coarser so the laser can remove the hair more effectively and significantly. However, after you have finished your laser treatments, the hair can sometimes grow back sparsely and slowly over the years, and at that point we always recommend waxing for maintenance versus shaving to keep the hairs fine.

Please check with your doctor if you are concerned.

With laser you should be scheduling your appointments the recommended amount of weeks apart set by your Laserologist – We suggest scheduling when you return. If you get laser before, that may be too soon for the laser technology to target your hairs properly for effective results. Please be very cautious on vacation; wear SPF 45 or higher in the area being lasered and not to come into your appointment following your vacation with a sunburn, tan or spray/self-tanner.

Ingrown hairs occur from all hair removal treatments, but laser is the lowest chance of causing ingrown hairs, so many of our clients do laser not just for the significant reduction in hair but to help ingrown hairs also. Assuming you are in good health and informing your Laserologist of any changes to your health during laser treatment, you should not see any complications – the device we use is custom to your exact skin type which ensures a safe experience.
