Does laser hair removal really work?
YES! There are so many ways to temporarily remove hair, but for permanent results, laser hair removal is the safest way to make unwanted body hair a thing of the past.
Is laser hair removal safe and effective for all skin types?
YES! Our laser hair removal works on all skin types. Some hair removal methods are limited to light skin types. But our laser is precise enough to target the hair follicle, and eliminate hair at the root without damaging your skin. Even the darkest skin types can be treated! Get the smooth skin you've always wanted!
Why laser hair removal over waxing or shaving?
Laser hair removal treatments yield permanent results while waxing, shaving, or depilatories will only give you temporary results. Waxing is significantly more painful than laser hair removal and while the laser feels like a rubberband snap, we've never had a patient leave because of how a treatment feels. Some people find it relaxing. Darker hair responds best with our lasers.
What are the risks of removing hair by laser?
Our lasers are incredibly safe and you're treated by highly trained laser professionals. We provide eye protection and take all the necessary precautions so your treatments are effective, yet safe. Laser hair removal is a simple procedure and there is almost no recovery time so you can return to work and normal activities after your treatment. We only ask that you wear sunscreen to protect the treated area.
What does laser hair removal feel like?
Most clients describe the sensation similar to the feeling of being snapped with a rubberband. Compared to waxing, the treatment has very little discomfort. Our state-of-the-art laser uses a cooling spray to safely cool the skin in the milliseconds prior to, as well as after each laser pulse. This decreases discomfort as well.
How many treatments will I need?
Each person is different. We recommend at least six treatments to the area we are treating. Some patients require more. It's best to come in for a free consultation to discuss your options.
Do you treat both men and women?
YES! We offer male laser hair removal treatments and female laser hair removal treatments! Our trained professionals treat all individuals and we're LGBTQ friendly!
