Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments does it take?

Hair grows in cycles. The number of treatments required depends upon your skin, hair coloring, and coarseness of hair. Everyone will require at least 3 treatments as the process is only effective on hair during their growing cycle. Sessions will be necessary to treat hair follicles when they re-enter a growth phase. For most patients, 4-6 treatments will result in approximately 75% or 95% reduction in hairs.
How often do I have to come in?
For the best results, we strongly recommend patients come in approximately every 6-8 weeks.
Towards the end of treatment sessions, patients will find that treatments can be spread up to about 10 weeks apart.

How long does each treatment take?

The time for each treatment varies depending upon the areas to be treated. Most sessions take approximately 30 minutes but can go up to and hour.

What should I do to prepare for my appointment?

For successful sessions, the root of the hairs should be present under the skin during the treatment. For this reason, we advise that the treated areas should not be tweezed or waxed at least 2 weeks before treatments. Shaving or clipping the hair between appointments is the best approach and we can be done up to 1-2 days before the procedure.
If the area to be treated is quite dark in color, we may prescribe a bleaching cream to help the laser identify the hair follicles before starting treatments.
For light skin and dark hair, stop tanning or the use of tanning sprays/lotions immediately after signing up for a laser hair removal package. Consult your technician for complete instructions.
Shave the area to be treated two days before your initial laser hair removal treatment. (Underarms and Men’s Faces may be shaved one day prior to treatment.)
Show up 10 minutes early to fill out the proper forms.

What should I expect during the treatment?

All patients will wear protective eye gear
A gown may be worn during the session if necessary
A small handpiece will be used with a probe that touches the skin to deliver the laser light. A light spray of coolant will be felt just before each laser pulse.
Most patients experience slight discomfort at the treatment site. Topical anesthetic is a common option and needs to be discussed before the procedure.
The treated area may become pink or red within about 30 minutes of treatment. This may last from a few hours to several days. We offer a special cream to sooth the skin and reduce redness after each treatment and can provide a take-home tube if desired.

Are there any side effects?

The GentleLASE has an excellent safety record. Discoloration, either light or dark, can occur and last for several months. Currently, there are no reports of permanent discoloration. Rarely, blistering can occur which is treated like a sunburn.

What precautions should I take after treatment?

After laser treatment, avoid sun exposure.
For the next few days, don’t scrub or rinse the treated areas with abrasive skin cleansers.
