Full Face Laser
Single Session of Face.
Any Area on The Face: Hair must be treated every 5-6 weeks (in the Anagen or Growing Phase) for permanent results. Timing is very important.
Laser hair removal requires avoiding sun exposure (You cannot be tan or holding onto pigment), tanning beds, & sunless tanning products for 4-6 weeks before treatment to prevent skin damage, burns, or any other unpleasant side effects. Patients must stop waxing, tweezing, & electrolysis 4 weeks prior to treatment, and shave the area 12-24 hours before the session. Sessions are usually spaced 5-6 weeks apart for this area requiring 4-8 total treatments depending on hormonal fluctuations and prior genetic hair growth.
