It isn’t necessarily painful, but some patients do report some level of discomfort during their sessions. The sensation feels like tingling, or even a rubber band snapping against the skin in some cases. This feeling, however, is short-lived and surprisingly less painful than waxing, and it really varies from person to person and the areas being treated.

The number of appointments needed depends entirely on the individual and their specific goals. For full-body hair removal, 6 to 8 sessions may be required. This also depends on your hair type, as thicker, darker hair tends to require additional sessions for effective treatment. Since everyone is different, we recommend starting with a consultation. We will review the exact timeline you can expect.

Generally speaking, you can expect to see the results of laser hair removal about 1-3 weeks after your first session, with gradual improvements as you undergo additional sessions. Sessions need to be spaced a few weeks apart, so depending on how many appointments you need, you could see final results after one week or several.

Absolutely. Depending on your goals, we can also include other treatments, such as dermal fillers, if you’re interested in anti-aging or volume-building solutions. You could also combine your sessions with brightening treatments for the areas being lasered, or red light therapy. We will go over all of your options during your initial consultation.

Some common side effects that occur during a laser hair removal session include temporary redness and mild discomfort. In rare cases, pigmentation changes, blistering, or scarring can occur. Most of these potential side effects typically dissipate within a few days.
