​How Laser Hair Reduction Works
To understand how laser hair reduction works, it's helpful to know that hair grows in three main stages:
-
Anagen (Growth Stage): The hair is actively growing and is most effectively targeted by lasers.
-
Catagen (Transition Stage): The hair stops growing and prepares to shed.
-
Telogen (Resting Stage): The hair is not growing and will eventually fall out.​
Laser hair reduction focuses on hairs in the Anagen stage. The laser light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, damaging the follicle and slowing future growth. Since not all hairs are in the Anagen stage simultaneously, complete hair removal in one treatment isn’t possible. However, with multiple sessions, we can significantly reduce the density and growth of hair.
Hormonal Influences and Treatment Outcomes
Hormonal conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can affect hair growth patterns and hormone levels. These imbalances might lead to increased hair growth or changes in hair characteristics, impacting the effectiveness of the treatment. Even with hormonal conditions, many people achieve excellent results, though you might need more sessions compared to those without such conditions.
Duration of Results
Laser hair reduction provides long-lasting results. Most individuals find that their hair growth is significantly reduced, and they enjoy smoother skin for several years. However, due to natural hormonal changes as we age, some hair may eventually regrow. Periodic maintenance treatments might be needed to keep hair reduction results at their best.
Number of Treatments Required
Typically, you’ll need about 6 to 8 treatments to achieve optimal results. The exact number varies based on factors such as your hair type, skin color, and the area being treated. We’ll create a customized treatment plan to ensure you get the most effective results.

Preparing for Your Treatment
To ensure the best results from your laser hair treatment, please follow these preparation guidelines:
-
Avoid Waxing or Plucking: Do not wax or pluck the area to be treated for at least one month before your appointment. These methods remove the hair from the follicle, which is necessary for the laser to target effectively.
-
Shave the Area: Shave the treatment area 24 to 48 hours before your appointment. This ensures that the laser can focus on the hair follicles beneath the skin's surface, leading to more effective results.

frequently asked questions
Q: Is laser hair removal safe? A: Yes, laser hair removal is a safe procedure when performed by trained professionals. Modern laser systems, like Sciton, are designed to target hair follicles precisely without damaging the surrounding skin. Some mild side effects such as redness or swelling can occur, but these typically resolve quickly.
Q: Is laser hair removal painful?
A: Most people experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, often described as a mild stinging or a slight snapping sensation. Numbing creams can be applied to sensitive areas to enhance comfort during your hair removal session.
Q: What should I expect after a laser hair removal session?
A: You may experience mild redness or swelling in the treated area. Redness and swelling will typically subside within a few hours to a day. It's important to avoid sun exposure and follow any aftercare instructions provided by your technician.
Q: Are there any areas of the body that cannot be treated with laser hair removal?
A: Laser hair removal can be performed on most areas of the body, except for the delicate area around the eyes. A consultation will help determine the best treatment plan for your desired areas.
LASER HAIR REMOVAL AND REDUCTION DISCLAIMERS: Our 'unlimited' treatments package allows frequent sessions, but we recommend scheduling every 4-6 weeks to align with the hair growth cycle for optimal results. Overly frequent treatments may not provide additional benefits and can irritate the skin. Results vary based on hair type, skin color, and hormones, with the number of sessions needed differing for each person. A consultation is required before beginning treatment to assess your skin and hair type and discuss any medical conditions. Your safety is our priority, and we will tailor your treatment plan accordingly. While the 'unlimited' package offers flexibility, it is subject to practical limitations to ensure safe and effective treatment. Sessions will be scheduled based on professional recommendations and availability. The 'unlimited' package is valid for one year from the date of purchase and is non-transferable. Sessions must be booked in advance and are subject to availability, with cancellation policies applying. Adhering to the recommended schedule of every 4-6 weeks is important for the best outcome. Unused sessions will not carry over beyond the expiration date. Laser hair removal results in significant hair reduction rather than complete hair removal, and some hair may regrow over time, requiring periodic maintenance sessions. Some individuals may need maintenance treatments beyond the initial treatment period to maintain results due to natural hair growth cycles and hormonal changes.
