Laser Hair Removal Information - FAQ
Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?
Laser hair removal is safe, easy and long lasting. Their Cynosure elite Laser System has a 755 Alexandrite and a 1064 YAG wavelength, which is the most advanced technology available. Unwanted hair is removed by using the laser to send a beam of light into a follicle of hair on your skin. This light beam is then absorbed into the hair. The energy absorption turns to heat, and this kills the hair follicle.
Some people may feel a slight pinching sensation or a feeling similar to the pop of a small rubber band on skin. However, the
Cynosure Smart Cool technology greatly reduces this sensation.

How Many Laser Hair Treatments Will I Need?
Most people will need to have anywhere from six to eight laser hair removal treatments to reap the full benefits of permanent hair removal. Your hair color, skin tone and hair coarseness all play an important role in how many treatments may be necessary. However, if the recommended amount of treatments has been completed and the hair follicles have been destroyed, they will not grow again... laser hair removal is permanent.
How Should I Prepare?
For approximately three weeks prior to your treatment you'll need to avoid electrolysis, waxing or plucking. As well, tanning and sun exposure should also be avoided.
What Happens After My Laser Hair Removal Treatment?
After your treatment is done, you should be able to return to normal everyday routines and work schedules immediately. Keep exposure to the sun to a minimum about two weeks after your treatment.
Shaving of the hair in and around the treated area should be avoided for four days (depending on your skin sensitivity). DO NOT pluck, use electrolysis, or wax these areas between your treatments as this could cause the next scheduled procedure to be ineffective. Shaving is the safest and only approved method of removing unwanted hair during this time.
Laser Hair Removal Side Effects
Generally, after a treatment, clients don't notice any laser hair removal side effects. It's very rare, but occasionally clients may experience some minor swelling or redness around the treated area. If this occurs, it will likely clear up within a short period of time.
