• What is Laser Hair Removal?
• Laser Hair Removal is a minimally invasive
  treatment that uses laser/light energy to target
  unwanted hair, inhibiting its ability to regrow,
  resulting in silky smooth skin!
• How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
• Diode 1200nm technology uses a broad spectrum of
  pulsed light wavelengths that penetrate into the
  pigment residing in the hair follicle. The
  pigment then absorbs these pulses of light, which
  then converts to heat energy, and permanently
  damages the hair follicle. With consistent
  sessions, this process destroys the follicle and
  slows the regrowth of hair by up to 90
• Which Areas Can Laser Hair Removal Treat?
• Laser hair removal can help eliminate unwanted
  hair nearly anywhere on your body. However, the
  treatment works best on areas with thicker hair
  that contain more melanin (pigment) like the
  arms, underarms, bikini, legs, and back.

• How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Take?
• The duration of your service depends solely on
  the size of the area you are having treated. The
  vast majority of treatments take approximately 60
  minutes or less!
• Does laser hair removal hurt?
• Laser Hair Removal can cause mild discomfort, but
  it is not painful. Most clients will feel a
  slight snap when the laser targets the follicle.
• What Happens After Treatment?
• After a Laser Hair Removal treatment, your skin
  may have some sensitivity that is comparable to a
  sunburn. To ease discomfort you may apply a cool
  compress to these areas.

• Why do I need multiple laser hair removal
  sessions?
• Hair follicles grow in phases. There are
  countless hairs within an area, while some hair
  follicles are growing, others are laying dormant.
  Since every hair follicle is in a different
  stage, typically 6-8 treatments are needed to
  target each hair during its specific growth phase
  spaced every 6-8 weeks.
• Why is Laser Hair Removal for Darker Skin Tones
  Different than it is for Lighter Skin Tones?
• Laser hair removal uses highly-concentrated beams
  of light to destroy the hair follicle. To reach
  the follicle, lasers target the melanin, or
  pigment, within the hair. Originally, lasers
  could only focus if there was a noticeable
  contrast between the hair and the skin, which is
  why the optimal candidate for laser hair removal
  was someone with dark hair and fair skin.
  Fortunately, todays improvements in technology
  have made laser hair removal for dark skin tones
  highly safe and effective!
