Question 1

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Accepted Answer

Our Pain-Free, Hair-Free™ system offers the most comfortable laser hair removal experience available on the market. However, we understand that each patient has a different level of tolerance, so we can provide a topical numbing cream if needed.

Question 2

How does laser hair removal work?

Accepted Answer

Despite the name, laser hair removal uses safe and gentle light energy to target pigment in the individual hairs. This light is absorbed by melanin in the hair shaft where it travels down to the follicle and damages the hair growth mechanisms in the skin. Over time, this causes the follicle to stop producing new hair. The Soprano Ice system offers a multi-wavelength treatment approach for more effective treatment and faster results.

Question 3

Does laser hair removal work on light hair?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal works by taking advantage of pigment in the hair. In theory, a lack of pigment (such as very light or white hair) means this treatment may not be effective. The best way to determine your best options is through a consultation with our laser hair removal specialists.

Question 4

How many sessions do I need for laser hair removal?

Accepted Answer

This can be difficult to determine without a consultation with our laser hair removal experts. Because of the nature of hair growth cycles, however, you can count on multiple sessions being needed, usually spaced at least a few weeks apart.  This ensures that we can fully treat each follicle at every stage of the growth process.  Maintenance pricing available if more treatments are needed.  We are happy schedule you for a free consultation to get your written quote.

Question 5

Will laser hair removal completely remove my hair?

Accepted Answer

Results with laser hair removal are unique to each patient and can depend on many different factors including hair color, treating the follicle at the proper intervals, and more.  In many cases, you can see a drastic reduction in the growth, thickness, and color of hair at the treated area.  For most, six full treatments spaced correctly apart work wonderfully, however, there are always exceptions.  Talk to our Patient Care Coordinator for your free evaluation.

Question 6

Should I pluck or wax before treatment?

Accepted Answer

Because of how laser hair removal works, it’s important to avoid waxing or plucking the hair for a few weeks before treatment. This ensures that there is a distinct hair shaft that can absorb the laser light energy.

Question 7

How do I take care of my skin after treatment?

Accepted Answer

You might experience some mild redness and sensitivity after treatment, but you can return to your regular activities right away. It’s extremely important to wear sunscreen on the treated areas that are exposed to sun in the weeks following. And of course, we can help you find products right for your skin based on the area treated.

Question 8

How safe is laser hair removal?

Accepted Answer

In the hands of an experienced laser hair removal technician, this treatment is very safe and effective. However, you should always be sure to avoid practices that offer cheap deals or seem unprofessional, since untrained or uncertified practices can come with much higher risks. You should always verify the credentials of your provider and make sure your questions are thoroughly answered.

Question 9

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Accepted Answer

This can be difficult to predict since hair growth cycles are different for each patient.  Despite a full course of treatment, hair can begin growing again in the future due to hormones and other factors.   For this reason, we recommend touch-up appointments as needed and offer special maintenance pricing when done within a certain time frame.
