Most clients need six to eight sessions spaced four to six weeks apart to target hair growth cycles effectively. Darker, coarser hair may require more sessions, while lighter or finer hair can respond slower—your technician will create a tailored plan.

Most clients describe mild discomfort like snapping or warming sensations. We use cooling and adjustable settings to maximize comfort. Sessions are brief; post-treatment redness is normal and typically resolves within hours to a few days. Let us know if you have high sensitivity.

Avoid sun exposure and tanning two weeks before treatment. Do not wax, pluck, or thread the area; shaving 24–48 hours prior is recommended. Discontinue topical retinoids per clinician guidance and inform us about medications or recent skin treatments.

Apply soothing, fragrance-free moisturizers and sunscreen to protect treated skin. Avoid hot baths, intense exercise, and direct sun for 24–72 hours. Expect mild redness; contact us if you experience blistering, prolonged irritation, or signs of infection.

Yes with assessment—modern lasers and experienced providers can safely treat many darker skin tones using adjusted settings and cooling. Tanned skin increases risks; we often recommend waiting until sun exposure fades and evaluating suitability during consultation.
