Laser

• While you can start any time of year, we recommend starting in the fall/winter months so that you are super smooth for spring/summer! Plus, this is usually when you have less exposure to the sun so you don’t have to plan around beach days to get lasered (remember: spray-tanned/tanned/sunburned skin cannot be lasered).
• Invest in your 20s, 30s, & 40s! Since laser is not effective on grey or white hair, we recommend investing younger – plus you’ll get to enjoy even more years of smooth, hairless skin!

Ladies: We recommend being 18 years old for women. If you are younger, we absolutely need you to be accompanied by their parent/legal guardian for the initial consultation & service, as well as receive written consent. Since hormones levels (& hair growth) during puberty can fluctuate, we recommend waiting at least 2 years after your first period to receive laser treatments.

Guys: Since the hormonal fluctuations from puberty & the hair growth that comes along with this stage of life don’t level out until about 21 years of age, we recommend holding off on laser until you are at least 21 years old to ensure you get the best results (e.g., hormonal changes can cause new hairs to grow & we want to make sure we can target as many of those hairs during your treatments).

Everyone’s reaction is different, however there is likely to be some redness for the first 24 – 48 hours. During this time we recommend staying out of the sun & avoiding the application of makeup, creams/lotions/serums to this area while there is redness/irritation.

Our team has over 100+ hours of laser training & continue to participate in our ongoing quality assurance program, to ensure they are performing safe & effective treatments – customizing treatments for all skin/hair types.

We have licensed Shobha® laser specialists who have completed extensive laser training of 100+ hours.

Laser is the best option if you experience rapid hair growth in areas you prefer to be hairless. After your initial set of treatments (usually 6-9), there is minimal maintenance needed. If you are prone to ingrown hairs you will find this issue is drastically reduced since the hair literally stops growing back!

Medications, dietary supplements & hormonal changes can play role in the effectiveness of your treatment.

• Peach-fuzz (very fine, tiny hairs)
• Grey
• White
• Blonde (if you were born a blonde, even if your hair has darkened, the root of your hair may still be blonde causing results to be less effective)
• Light red/strawberry blonde

For these types of hair we suggest threading or sugaring for the face, waxing or sugaring for the body, as alternatives.

Most areas of the body & face can be lasered. Please note that the inner butt crack (I.E., rectum) & top/bottom part of the brows cannot be lasered, however the ‘unibrow’ – the middles section between the brows – can be lasered.

It is best not to wax/sugar/thread/tweeze the area at least 4 weeks before your treatment. During this time & right before your treatment we recommend that you shave the area. It is important to shave the area that is to be lasered, so that the laser can penetrate the root of the hair at the base of the follicle. The shorter the hair the more effective the treatment will be.

Your hair will begin to fall out a few days after the treatment. Results vary person-to-person. Typically you will see a noticeable difference after your 3rd treatment. Please note, that darker complexions may take more sessions to see results as the melanin (pigment) in the skin absorbs some of the laser’s strength.

Your skin may be sensitive for the next 48 hours. Apply a cold compress (simply a washcloth with cold water) if you experience any discomfort. Occasionally, treatments can result in further irritation of the skin. In this case, we recommend you contact your doctor or local pharmacy if the situation persists. Often they will recommend an antihistamine to help calm the reaction, as long as you have no medical reason prohibiting its use.
