How many treatments will I need?

Typically, 6 to 8 sessions and additional treatments (top up sessions) are recommended every 6 to
12 months to keep any dormant hairs at bay. The number of sessions will be different from person
to person with a minimum of 6 treatments being required.

Will my hair ever grow back?

Actively growing hairs that are treated should not grow back. Once a hair follicle is damaged it
cannot grow hair. It is not unusual for patients to have a top up session once every 6 to 12 months,
depending on hair type.

Why do I need 6 – 8 treatments?

Hair growth occurs in four stages: Early Anagen (early hair growth), Anagen (active hair growth),
Catagen (regression) and Telogen (resting, not growing). Laser hair removal only affects the Anagen
stage, (actively growing hair). Therefore, approximately 25 percent of hair is removed with each
treatment. After 6 to 8 treatments, the area should be free from hair. Additional top up sessions are
recommended every 6 to 12 months to keep any dormant hairs at bay.

Do I need to arrange time off from work for treatments?

No. There is no “down time” and no recovery time is needed. You can have a treatment and
return to work or other normal activities immediately.

What do I need to do before treatment?

Don’t wax or pluck the hair in the treatment area for at least 4 weeks prior to treatment. No sun
exposure, fake tan or sunbeds for 4 weeks prior to treatment. Do not use retinols, AHAs or any
active ingredients at least 3 days prior to your treatment.

What should I do after my treatment?

Avoid sun exposure and if this is impossible wear a factor 50 sunblock. Avoid excessive exercise for
24 hours following your treatment. Avoid hot baths, hot showers or hot tubs for 48 hours post
treatment. Avoid use of retinols, AHAs or any active ingredients for 3 days post treatment. If any
changes occur you’re not sure of please contact the clinic.

How do I know it really won’t hurt?

with other hair removal methods and lasers. This is one of few laser hair removal procedures where
numbing cream is not necessary.

Is it safe for all skin types?
