We recommend a seven-session series spaced four to six weeks apart to target hair growth cycles. Some clients see significant reduction before completion, but the full series ensures optimal, longer-lasting results and minimizes shadowing and regrowth.

Most clients report mild discomfort described as quick snaps; we use cooling and precise settings to minimize pain. Temporary redness or swelling can occur but typically subsides within a few hours to a couple days.

Laser targets pigment, so lighter, red, or gray hairs respond less predictably. We evaluate hair color and may recommend combination approaches or test spots to determine likely effectiveness before committing to full treatment.

Avoid sun exposure, self-tanning, and waxing for several weeks before treatment. Shave the area 24 hours prior and skip topical retinoids or harsh exfoliants as directed by our providers professionals.

Apply gentle cool compresses and fragrance-free moisturizer to soothe treated skin. Avoid sun exposure, heavy makeup, and exfoliation for several days. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the area between sessions and aid healing.

Side effects are usually mild — temporary redness, swelling, or slight pigment changes. Rare complications include blistering or infection; following pre- and post-care instructions lowers risk. We perform a consultation to assess suitability and address concerns.
