Hair Removal FAQ
Got questions about hair removal? You’re in the right place. We’ve compiled this extensive Hair Removal FAQ to address the most common inquiries our clients have
Waxing Hair Removal
Waxing is a hair removal method that involves applying warm wax to the skin and then quickly removing it to pull out unwanted hair from the root.
Waxing can be uncomfortable, and some people may find it painful, especially during the initial few sessions. However, discomfort tends to lessen with regular waxing as the hair becomes finer and less dense.
Waxing typically provides smooth skin for 3 to 6 weeks, depending on individual hair growth rates. Hair regrowth is usually finer and softer compared to shaving.
Bikini Wax: A Bikini wax is a hair removal treatment that focuses on the area outside of the panty line. It removes hair along the bikini line and trims hair that may peek out from a swimsuit.
Brazilian Wax: A Brazilian wax, on the other hand, removes hair from the entire pubic region, including the front, back, and everything in between. It leaves you entirely hairless or with a small landing strip, depending on your preference.
The ideal hair length for waxing is typically around 1/4 to 1/2 inch (about 6-12 mm). This length is suitable for effective waxing
 It's important to consult with a healthcare professional and inform your waxing technician if you're pregnant or taking medications that may affect your skin's sensitivity, as this can impact your waxing experience.
Laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair. The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles, damaging them and inhibiting future hair growth.
Laser hair removal is generally considered safe when performed by a trained and licensed professional. However, there may be some side effects like temporary redness or skin irritation. It's essential to choose a reputable clinic and follow pre- and post-care instructions for the best results.
Laser hair removal is most effective on individuals with light skin and dark hair because the contrast makes it easier for the laser to target the hair follicles. Advances in technology have made it possible to treat a broader range of skin and hair types, but results may vary.
The number of sessions required varies depending on the individual and the laser treatment area. Most people need multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve the desired results. It's typically recommended to have between 6 to 8 sessions for long-lasting hair reduction.
Laser hair removal can be slightly uncomfortable, with sensations often described as a rubber band snapping against the skin. Many modern lasers come equipped with cooling systems to minimize discomfort during treatment.
Laser hair removal can be used on most areas of the body, but it may not be suitable for certain regions close to the eyes or on tattoos. Your provider will advise you on which areas can be safely treated.
No, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that Laser Hair Removal causes cancer. Laser hair removal uses low-energy, non-ionizing radiation, which does not damage DNA in cells or lead to cancer.
