Frequently Asked Questions

The number of treatments depends on the concern being addressed. Laser hair removal typically requires 6-8 sessions for permanent reduction. IPL photofacials often show results in 3-5 sessions. Resurfacing treatments may require 1-3 sessions depending on depth. We will create a customized treatment plan during your consultation.

Comfort levels vary by treatment type and individual sensitivity. Most patients describe laser treatments as tolerable, often comparing them to a rubber band snap. We use cooling technology and topical numbing to maximize comfort. More aggressive resurfacing treatments may require additional anesthesia options.

Downtime varies significantly by treatment. Laser hair removal has no downtime. IPL photofacials may cause redness for 24-48 hours. Fractional resurfacing may require 3-7 days of social downtime depending on intensity. We will discuss expected recovery during your consultation so you can plan accordingly.

Yes, with the right technology. We have lasers specifically designed for all skin types, including darker skin tones. The key is using the appropriate wavelength and settings. During your consultation, we will assess your skin type and recommend the safest, most effective treatment options for you.

Before treatment: Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 2-4 weeks, stop using retinoids 3-7 days prior, and avoid waxing or plucking (shaving is fine). After treatment: Avoid sun exposure and use SPF 30+, skip active ingredients for several days, and follow all post-care instructions provided.

The best treatment depends on your specific concerns, skin type, lifestyle, and goals. During your consultation, we will perform a thorough skin assessment, discuss your objectives, and recommend the most appropriate laser technology. Sometimes a combination approach works best for comprehensive results.
