Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your visit. Don't see your question here? Reach out — we're happy to help.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Most clients describe it as a quick, warm snap against the skin — closer to a rubber band flick than pain. Our devices have built-in cooling to keep you comfortable, and sensitivity varies by area (the bikini and underarms tend to be more sensitive than legs or arms).
What can I expect at my first visit?
Your first visit starts with a consultation — we'll talk through your skin, hair, and goals, do a patch test if needed, and answer any questions before starting treatment. Plan for a little extra time at your first appointment compared to future visits.
Do IPL treatments hurt?
IPL feels similar to a light snapping sensation, and most clients tolerate it well without numbing. Any redness or warmth afterward typically fades within a few hours.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the treatment and your goals. Laser hair removal generally takes 6–8 sessions spaced several weeks apart for lasting results, while IPL and microneedling plans are built around your skin during your consultation.
Is laser hair removal safe for all skin tones?
Yes. Our equipment is calibrated for a full range of skin tones, and every treatment plan is adjusted to your specific skin type for safe, effective results.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Come with clean skin (no lotion, makeup, or deodorant on the treatment area), avoid sun exposure and self-tanner beforehand, and shave the area the day before your laser hair removal appointment.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
Most of our treatments have little to no downtime. You may see mild redness or sensitivity for a few hours to a day, but you can typically return to your normal routine right away. For IPL and laser hair removal, avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area for one to two weeks afterward to protect your skin and prevent pigment changes.
Do you offer financing?
Yes — we partner with Cherry to offer flexible payment plans, including 0% APR options for qualified applicants. You can apply in about a minute with no impact to your credit score.
What should I avoid before and after treatment?
Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and retinol or exfoliating products in the days leading up to your appointment. Afterward, skip hot showers, sweating, and direct sun on the treated area for a day or two, and keep it moisturized.
