COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING LASER HAIR REMOVAL:

 

Q.      How does Laser hair removal work?

A.      Hair grows in cycles.  The laser destroys all hair that is actively growing.  The laser kills the bulb of the hair, so that hair cannot grow back at this site.  The client is scheduled every 4 - 6 weeks when a new crop of hair is actively growing.  It takes approximately 8 of these sessions to destroy all hair bulbs that the laser can get. 

 Q.      Can hair be removed from any area of the body?

A.      Yes, we have both men and women clients removing hair from all areas of the body.
