Question 1

How does laser hair removal work?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target pigment within the hair follicle, helping reduce future hair growth while leaving the surrounding skin intact.

Question 2

How many treatments will I need?

Accepted Answer

Because hair grows in different cycles, a series of treatments is necessary for optimal results. Your treatment plan and timing will be customized based on the area being treated, your hair growth, and your individual response. Treatments are commonly spaced several weeks apart.

Question 3

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Accepted Answer

Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap or warm pinprick. The Candela GentleMax Pro features an integrated Dynamic Cooling Device designed to cool and protect the skin while making treatment more comfortable.

Question 4

Can all skin tones be treated?

Accepted Answer

The Gentle MAX PRO offers laser options designed to treat a wide range of skin tones. Your settings are selected based on your skin tone, hair characteristics, and treatment area for a personalized approach.

Question 5

What hair colors respond best?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal works best on hair containing darker pigment. Blonde, gray, white, and many red hairs may respond poorly because they contain less of the pigment targeted by the laser.

Question 6

Can I shave between appointments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shaving is the preferred method of hair removal between laser sessions. Avoid waxing, tweezing, threading, or electrolysis because these methods remove the follicle the laser needs to target.

Question 7

When will the treated hair fall out?

Accepted Answer

Treated hairs typically begin shedding over the days to weeks following treatment. This can sometimes look like continued hair growth before the hairs naturally release.

Question 8

Is there downtime?

Accepted Answer

There is generally little to no downtime. Mild redness or swelling around the follicles may occur temporarily, and most clients can return to their normal routine after treatment.Avoid excessive sweating and high intensity work outs for at least 24-48 hours before & after treatment.

Question 9

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Accepted Answer

Laser treatments can provide significant long-term hair reduction. Some hair may eventually regrow, often finer or lighter, and occasional maintenance treatments may be needed.
