LASER HAIR TREATMENT SERVICES

Laser hair reduction works by targeting hair during its active growth phase (Anagen), when it's most responsive to treatment. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, damaging the follicle to slow and reduce future growth.

 

Because hair grows in cycles—and not all hairs are in the growth phase at the same time—multiple sessions are needed to achieve the best results. Most clients require 6 to 8 treatments, though this can vary based on hair type, skin tone, and treatment area. Hormonal conditions like PCOS can affect hair growth and may require additional sessions, but great results are still possible. Results are long-lasting, with smoother skin and reduced hair growth for years. Occasional maintenance may be needed.

PREPARING FOR TREATMENT

To ensure the best results from your laser hair treatment, please follow these preparation guidelines:

  • Avoid Waxing or Plucking: Do not wax or pluck the area to be treated for at least one month before your appointment. These methods remove the hair from the follicle, which is necessary for the laser to target effectively.

  • Shave the Area: Shave the treatment area 24 to 48 hours before your appointment. This ensures that the laser can focus on the hair follicles beneath the skin's surface, leading to more effective results.

BENEFITS OF LASER HAIR REDUCTION

  • Enjoy reduced hair growth and fewer touch-ups compared to other hair removal methods.

  • Precision and Safety: The laser targets only the hair follicles, leaving your skin unharmed.

  • Efficiency: Each laser pulse treats multiple hairs at once, making the process quick and effective.

  • Minimal Discomfort: Sciton’s advanced technology ensures a comfortable experience with minimal downtime.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Is laser hair removal safe? A: Yes, laser hair removal is a safe procedure when performed by trained professionals. Modern laser systems, like Sciton, are designed to target hair follicles precisely without damaging the surrounding skin. Some mild side effects such as redness or swelling can occur, but these typically resolve quickly.

Q: Is laser hair removal painful? 
A: Most people experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, often described as a mild stinging or a slight snapping sensation. Numbing creams can be applied to sensitive areas to enhance comfort during your hair removal session.

Q: What should I expect after a laser hair removal session? 
A: You may experience mild redness or swelling in the treated area. Redness and swelling will typically subside within a few hours to a day. It's important to avoid sun exposure and follow any aftercare instructions provided by your technician.

Q: Are there any areas of the body that cannot be treated with laser hair removal? 
A: Laser hair removal can be performed on most areas of the body, except for the delicate area around the eyes. A consultation will help determine the best treatment plan for your desired areas.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL AND REDUCTION DISCLAIMERS: Our 'unlimited' treatments package allows frequent sessions, but we recommend scheduling every 4-6 weeks to align with the hair growth cycle for optimal results. Overly frequent treatments may not provide additional benefits and can irritate the skin. Results vary based on hair type, skin color, and hormones, with the number of sessions needed differing for each person. A consultation is required before beginning treatment to assess your skin and hair type and discuss any medical conditions. Your safety is our priority, and we will tailor your treatment plan accordingly. While the 'unlimited' package offers flexibility, it is subject to practical limitations to ensure safe and effective treatment. Sessions will be scheduled based on professional recommendations and availability. The 'unlimited' package is valid for one year from the date of purchase and is non-transferable. Sessions must be booked in advance and are subject to availability, with cancellation policies applying. Adhering to the recommended schedule of every 4-6 weeks is important for the best outcome. Unused sessions will not carry over beyond the expiration date. Laser hair removal results in significant hair reduction rather than complete hair removal, and some hair may regrow over time, requiring periodic maintenance sessions. Some individuals may need maintenance treatments beyond the initial treatment period to maintain results due to natural hair growth cycles and hormonal changes.
