Quick Facts about Laser Hair Removal
On average, 5 to 8 sessions are required to achieve full results on the body and 6-12 treatments on the face.
Fine and lighter hair is more difficult to treat than coarse hair, and dark skin also poses more risks.
Laser treats the hair you have today, but cannot prevent new hair growth as a result of some hormonal and other health conditions.
The most serious risk is a skin burn. They are uncommon, but in the event of a burn, full medical care will be provided.
Other uncommon risks include pigment distortions and inadvertent hair stimulation.
