Explore our FAQ for detailed information on our services, treatments, and what to expect during your visit.

How many treatments will I need for optimal results?

Each client's results may vary based on factors like hair color, skin type, and individual response. While we cannot guarantee a specific number of treatments, we recommend starting with 6-12 sessions for optimal results, with many clients seeing 60-90% hair reduction after the initial series. We advise ISL clients maintenance sessions may be required based on hair growth cycles, skin type, hormonal changes, and lifestyle factors to maintain results.

What should I do to prepare for my laser hair removal session?

Shave the Treatment Area: Please shave the area 12-24 hours before your appointment. Unshaved areas will require rescheduling.

Avoid Sun Exposure: Limit sun exposure for at least 2-3 weeks before your session. Sunburned or compromised skin cannot be treated.

Avoid Skin Products: Do not use exfoliants like Retin-A, AHA/BHA, or acne medications 3 days before treatment.

Clean Skin: Ensure the area is free from makeup, lotions, deodorant, or oils on the day of treatment.

Is laser hair removal safe?

Yes, when performed by our trained professionals, laser hair removal is safe. We use the advanced GentleMax Pro laser, which is effective for all skin types and most hair colors, though it may be less effective on red, blonde, or gray hair.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

The sensation of laser hair removal can feel like a mild snapping or stinging, similar to a rubber band. Most clients find it tolerable.

What happens immediately after my treatment?

You may experience mild redness, swelling, or discomfort, which is similar to a sunburn and should subside within a few hours. If needed, applying hydrocortisone can help alleviate these symptoms.

How do I take care of my skin after the treatment?

-Avoid Heat: Refrain from hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours after your session.

-Sun Protection: Avoid direct sun exposure for 7 days post-treatment. Use SPF 30+ sunscreen daily to protect your skin and enhance the results.

-Avoid Abrasive Scrubs: Don’t scrub or exfoliate the treated area for 3 days following your session.

Will my hair grow back after treatment?

Can I continue shaving between treatments?

Yes, shaving is encouraged between treatments. However, avoid waxing, plucking, or any other methods of hair removal that remove hair from the root, as they can interfere with your progress.

How soon can I schedule my next session?

Follow-up treatments are typically scheduled 4-6 weeks apart. Adhering to this schedule helps to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment series.

Are there any risks or side effects?

While rare, side effects can include temporary redness, mild burns, pigmentation changes, or minor swelling. To minimize these risks, follow pre- and post-treatment care instructions carefully.

Is laser hair removal suitable for everyone?

Laser hair removal works for most people but is not effective for individuals with red, blonde, or gray hair. We recommend scheduling a consultation with one of our licensed laser hair removal technicians to discuss your skin and hair type to determine if laser hair removal is right for you.
