FAQ

Prior to the laser treatment, the specified area is thoroughly cleansed. Patients may be administered a numbing gel to numb the targeted region as this is particularly beneficial when dealing with a small, sensitive area. The application of the numbing gel typically requires 30 to 60 minutes to take effect.

The laser procedure is conducted in a specially equipped room designed for laser treatments. During the session, everyone in the room, including the patient and practitioners, must wear protective eyewear. The procedure involves stretching the skin taut, after which the laser is applied to the skin.

Treatments are usually spaced at 4-6 week intervals. Different parts of the body undergo different hair growth cycles, leading to variations in hair loss based on the phase your follicles are in at the time of each treatment.

Laser hair removal typically does not require any major downtime. After the procedure, it is common for the treated skin to show redness and swelling. However, despite these temporary side effects, the majority of individuals can resume their regular activities shortly after the session.

Results of laser hair removal often offer patients a hair-free period lasting months or even years. If there is regrowth, the reappearance of hair is typically less noticeable. To maintain a hair-free status in the treated area, some patients may opt for periodic maintenance laser treatments.

Hair supplements can potentially impact the progress of your laser hair removal treatment as these supplements may stimulate hair growth. It is generally recommended to avoid taking hair supplements during the duration of your laser hair removal treatment.
