Hair-Removal FAQ: The Ten Questions Clients Ask Most
The Ten, Answered Fast
- How many sessions? 6-8 to start, spaced by area cycles (the cycle), then annual maintenance.
- Painful? Rubber-band snaps with modern cooling and glide; coarser zones slightly more (the comfort entry).
- Permanent? “Permanent reduction” (most 70-90%), not zero hair (the entry).
- Sweat glands harmed? No — separate structures (the myths).
- During periods? Sensitive programs defer; small non-invasive areas fine (the scheduling).
- Pregnancy? Paused by convention (the map).
- Darker skin? Yes — 1064 route, conservative settings (the typing).
- Home IPL devices? Light maintenance yes; no clinic efficiency (the myths).
- Waxed recently? No for 2-4 weeks around sessions — shave only.
- Will lip hair grow thicker? No — laser only reduces.

More Top Questions
- Will beard trimming zones lose styling options? Laser permanently reduces beard density — clients wanting shaping only should trim, not laser.
- Hair regrew after treatment? Resting follicles shed and regrow weeks later — normal cycling, not failure (the cycle).
- Tattoos in the area? Laser is contraindicated over ink — energy concentrates and burns.
- When do results show? Shedding visible in 1-3 weeks; full effect accumulates across the course.
When a Consult Is Mandatory
- Sudden worsening hair growth (hormonal workup).
