Laser Hair Removal FAQs| Snellville, Ga

​Frequently Asked Questions about Laser Hair Removal.

​

What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses concentrated beams of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair. The melanin in hair follicles absorbs the laser's energy, damaging them and inhibiting future hair growth.

Which areas of the body can be treated with laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal can be used on virtually any body part, including the face, underarms, legs, bikini area, back, and more.

​

Does laser hair removal work on all hair and skin types?

Laser hair removal is most effective on individuals with light skin and dark hair because the contrast makes it easier for the laser to target the hair follicles. However, technological advances have also allowed people with darker skin to receive treatment. All shin types can receive laser hair removal. Results will vary from person to person. Some blonde and gray hair cannot be treated.

​

How many sessions are typically needed?

The number of sessions needed varies from person to person, depending on factors like hair type, color, and the area being treated. On average, 7- 9 sessions are required, with touch-up sessions as needed.

​

Is laser hair removal painful?

Most people experience some minor pinprick sensation that may vary from person to person. However, many modern laser systems have built-in cooling mechanisms and pain-free service.

​

How often must I come in for Laser Hair Removal to be effective?

Because of the hair growth cycle, laser hair removal sessions are typically scheduled 4-6 weeks apart.

​

Are there any side effects?

Temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, and mild skin irritation, but these usually subside within a few hours to a few days.

​

How do I prepare for a laser hair removal session?

Before treatment, avoid sun exposure and tanning and plucking or waxing the target area. It is essential to follow your provider's specific pre-treatment instructions. It would help to shave each area to be treated cleanly before your session. Unfortunately, we cannot shave your areas, so this must be done 1 day ahead. If you have waxed the area, you must wait two weeks for the follicle to be treated.

 

Can I get laser hair removal while pregnant or breastfeeding?

It is generally not recommended to undergo laser hair removal during pregnancy due to the potential risks. Consult with your healthcare provider and the laser specialist for guidance.

​

How much does laser hair removal cost?

Laser hair removal costs vary depending on the treatment area, the number of sessions needed, and your location. Prices can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.

​
