Question 1

How does laser hair removal work?

Accepted Answer

A targeted beam of light is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle, damaging the follicle and inhibiting future hair growth. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to treat all follicles in their active growth phase.

Question 2

How many sessions do I need?

Accepted Answer

Most clients need 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for permanent reduction. Hormonal areas (like the face) may require additional maintenance sessions. Patty creates a treatment plan based on your hair, skin, and area treated.

Question 3

Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

Most clients describe the sensation as a quick rubber band snap or warm flick. Modern laser systems include cooling that significantly reduces discomfort. Smaller areas (like the upper lip) take just a few minutes.

Question 4

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal causes permanent reduction in hair growth. Most clients see 80-90% reduction after a complete series. Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause) can stimulate new follicles, which is why occasional maintenance sessions may be helpful.

Question 5

What should I do before my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Shave the treatment area within 24 hours of your appointment. Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading for 4-6 weeks before treatment - the laser needs the hair root in the follicle to be effective. Avoid sun exposure and self-tanner for 2 weeks before.

Question 6

Is there downtime?

Accepted Answer

Mild redness and warmth are common for a few hours after treatment. Avoid sun exposure, hot showers, intense exercise, and swimming pools for 24-48 hours. Most clients return to normal activity immediately.
