The results of LASER hair removal treatments vary depending on the patient's skin thickness, color, and complexion and hair type. The best way to find out how your hair will respond to laser hair removal is to first have a proper consultation.

Myth 3: The treatment leads to increased hair growth.

The Facts. Laser hair removal does not lead to increased hair growth. Every person has a different hair growth pattern and their body produces different hairs.

The facts. It is not possible to remove all the hairs with one laser hair removal procedure. Hair grows naturally in different cycles and at different times. While the laser hair removal procedure targets the hairs already growing on your body, other hair follicles are ready to sprout new ones. The best way to achieve results is to perform multlasere treatments, treating each hair follicle with the laser at its optimal growth period.

The Facts. Unlike other devices, the Laser is designed with your comfort and convenience in mind. The applicator comes with a built-in cooling feature to make the entire procedure as comfortable as possible for you. However, if you feel uncomfortable treating sensitive areas, such as the upper lip, the settings can be adjusted and customized for greater comfort.

Myth 8: Results last a lifetime.

The Facts. Although laser hair removal cannot and should not guarantee complete hair removal for life. It is an effective treatment that reduces and eliminates ongoing hair growth. The laser can reduce the number of hair follicles by up to 80%, and hair grows back thinner or not at all after treatment.
