Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a laser, which is an intense pulsating beam of light, to remove unwanted hair. During laser hair removal, a laser beam passes through the skin to an individual hair follicle. The intense heat of the laser damages the hair follicle, which inhibits future hair growth.

Although laser hair removal effectively slows hair growth, it doesn't guarantee permanent hair removal. It typically takes multiple laser hair removal treatments to provide an extended hair-free period. You may need periodic maintenance treatments after you complete your laser hair removal sessions.

Please let us know of any medical changes before each treatment, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. We will not perform laser treatments on anyone pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or currently breastfeeding. Please note that our treatment packages do not expire, and all unused/prepaid treatments will be available to you when you are ready to continue.
Lasers are a controlled manufactured high energy source that is very safe and effective in the hands of a trained technician. Our primary consideration is the safety and effectiveness of your treatment. Sam and Megan have performed thousands of procedures and are certified by the National Laser Institute.
We are unable to determine the exact number of treatments necessary to complete the laser process. Many factors go into creating the best treatment protocol for each individual, such as hair color, skin color, the area being treated, the texture and density of hair, a person’s age, etc. The typical individual will need 6-8 treatments for a good reduction and between 9 and 12 treatments for most of the hair to be eliminated. We cannot predict how many treatments a person will need, nor can we guarantee that 100% of the hairs will be impacted. The number of treatments will all be dependent on the individual.
It is not safe to perform laser hair removal on tan skin. A person should refrain from using tanning beds and self-tanning products while they are in the process of receiving laser treatments. Please note, that laser treatments could be extremely harmful to skin that has an active sunburn, or skin that has been recently exposed to direct sunlight.
Yes, we can safely treat dark or ethnic skin with our Yag Laser Settings.
Lasers are attracted to the pigment in the hair. The smaller the concentration of pigment, the less effective the treatment. For this reason, blondes, white, light red, and grey hair may have little or no response.
There are a variety of medications, topical ointments, and physical conditions that will increase skin sensitivity, which includes certain antibiotics, steroids, retinol, acne medications, etc. We reserve the right to delay or refuse treatments based on certain changes to one’s medical history. It is best to get your personal physician's approval prior to scheduling an appointment. Please notify us of any health or medical changes prior to every treatment.
• Please clean shave the entire area you plan to have treated 24 hours before your appointment. Unshaven clients will need to be rescheduled.
• You MUST avoid tweezing, bleaching, waxing, threading, or any depilatories for 4-6 weeks prior to treatment.
• Avoid the sun 2-4 weeks before treatment. Stay away from spray tans, tanning beds, and tanning lotions. We do not treat tan skin or spray tan skin. It is recommended to exfoliate the area to remove any residual color.
• If you are prone to cold sores, it is highly recommended to take an anti-viral medication (such as Valtrex) before your treatment.
• Avoid all alpha hydroxy and beta hydroxyl products (AHA/BHA), hydroquinone, retinol/retinoid, Tazorac, and Differin for 7 days before treatment.
• Antibiotics may increase photosensitivity. We recommend that you check with your personal physician prior to receiving laser treatments if you take a long-term antibiotic. If you become ill and begin taking an antibiotic, you will need to be off the medication for 7 days prior to laser treatment.
• Clients who have used Accutane or similar products within the last 6 months CANNOT have laser hair removal treatments.
• If you have Botox or dermal fillers in the area to be treated, wait 14 days before and after injection to receive treatments.
• On the day of your laser appointment, be sure to wear loose-fitting clothing in the area you want to be treated. By doing so, this will reduce the chance of irritation after your hair removal session
• Children under the age of 12 are not allowed in the treatment room or lobby.
• You likely will experience some slight redness, swelling around the hair follicles, and mild discomfort similar to sunburn after your treatment.
• After about 1-3 weeks, the hair should grow slower, finer, and patchy. At this time, the hair should also shed.

• Do not rub, pick, use serums or abrasive scrubs for 5 days after your treatment.
