WHAT TO EXPECT

We are all different, and our bodies (and body hair) will react uniquely to laser treatments! The below is an estimate of what you can expect based on the average patient (we’ve performed millions of treatments, so it’s a pretty good guess!).

• Treatment length: A few mins to an hour and a half (based on size of area)

• Treatments required: For body: 6-8 on average, spaced 6-8 weeks apart, and for face/neck: 8-10 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart (because facial hair grows faster)

• Discomfort factor: Minimal discomfort & prickling sensation, especially in areas with denser, coarser hair— but we use a Zimmer chiller that blows cold air on the treatment area, making it even more tolerable

• Real results: Smoother, softer skin; finer, less noticeable hair that’s slower to grow back; minimal need for shaving

*Note: Laser hair removal works on all skin types, but not all hair types. Since our lasers target hair pigment, we are unable to treat hair that’s blonde, red, grey or white.

YOUR JOURNEY

THE HAIR REMOVAL PROCESS

Here’s the tl;dr: Hair grows in three phases, and laser hair removal only targets hair currently in its growth (anagen) phase. It uses fast laser light pulses to selectively destroy hair follicles by targeting their melanin (color). The pigment in the hair absorbs the laser’s energy, which converts to heat as it travels down the hair shaft, ultimately damaging the follicle enough to prevent hair regrowth.

This is why laser hair removal is performed as a series of treatments at regular intervals—the hair follicles that aren’t in their growth phase will need additional opportunities to be targeted, and we need to allow the hair that was targeted to return to its growth phase between sessions.

THE ANAGEN PHASE THE TELOGEN PHASE THE CATAGEN PHASE
Here’s what you can expect from your hair removal journey.

AFTER YOUR FIRST TREATMENT…

• Right away: You won’t see any change at first—your hair will appear to grow back as normal

• In about 7-10 days: The hair in its active growth stage at the time of treatment begins to fall out, and will continue shedding for 2-3 weeks

• In about 5-6 weeks: Some of your hair (the hair that wasn’t in its growth stage) will begin to grow back

WITH EACH PROGRESSIVE TREATMENT…

• Hair in its active growth stage will be targeted and permanently reduced

• More and more of your hair will stop growing back

• Hair that grows back will gradually become softer, finer and less noticeable

• Skin in the area will become smoother and softer

• Shaving will become easier and cause less skin irritation

• Note: Since the actively growing hair follicles are not necessarily spaced out evenly, it’s normal for hair regrowth to appear “patchy”

AT THE END OF YOUR PACKAGE…

• Up to 80% of unwanted hair will be permanently reduced

• Hair that grows back will be softer, finer, less noticeable and slower to grow back

• Smoother, softer skin in the area treated

• Minimal need for shaving or waxing!
