The number of sessions you’ll need depends on factors such as the individual’s genetic background, skin tone, hair color and area to be treated. Hormonal areas may require more sessions. Most people can expect to see a 75% to 95% reduction in hair growth after 6 sessions. Sessions are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area.

Although everyone has a different level of pain tolerance, we try to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. Our laser incorporates the Zimmer chiller device which blows out a nice cold air throughout the entire session. This allows for a more comfortable treatment. If you’d like to try it out beforehand we are happy to include a test patch during your complimentary consultation.

Absolutely! Our dual wavelength laser is safe and effective on all skin types. We use the Nd:YAG laser which is the safest for darker skin types.
