FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Does laser hair removal hurt?
It’s not a spa massage, but it’s also not unbearable! Most people say it feels like a small, quick rubber band snap—annoying but totally manageable. Plus, the discomfort fades fast, and let’s be real: it’s worth it to ditch the razor forever.
How many sessions do I need?
Laser hair removal isn’t a one-and-done deal—it’s a process. Most people need 6 to 8 sessions to see full results, with touch-ups here and there. Think of it like a breakup with your body hair—slow, steady, and totally freeing.
Will my hair be gone forever?
Mostly, yes. Laser zaps hair follicles into submission, reducing regrowth significantly. Some stubborn hairs might make a comeback over time, but they’ll be way finer and sparser. A touch-up once in a while keeps things smooth!
Is laser hair removal safe?
Absolutely! It’s FDA-approved and used worldwide. As long as a trained professional is handling the laser (like at Elite Laser), you’re in safe hands. No sketchy at-home lasers, okay?
Can I shave between sessions?
Yes! In fact, we want you to shave (but no waxing or plucking!). The laser needs the hair root to do its thing, so keep the surface smooth, and let the laser handle the rest.
Can I get laser if I have dark skin or light hair?
Yes! Advanced lasers work on all skin tones (thank you, technology!). Light hair can be trickier, but we’ll assess if you’re a good candidate—don’t count yourself out just yet.
What areas can I get lasered?
If it grows hair, we can probably laser it! Legs, arms, underarms, face, bikini, back—you name it. (Okay, not your eyeballs, but let’s not get wild.)
What should I do before my appointment?
Shave the area, skip the lotion, and NO tanning—sunburn + lasers = no bueno. Also, caffeine can make you more sensitive, so maybe swap that latte for water before your session!
What happens after a session?
Your skin might be a little red or tingly (totally normal). Avoid the sun, skip hot showers, and moisturize like your skin depends on it (because it kinda does).
Will laser hair removal help with ingrown hairs?
Yes! In fact, it’s one of the biggest perks of laser hair removal. By targeting the hair follicle, it reduces the chances of ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and irritation—leaving your skin smoother and clearer.
What is microneedling, and how does it work?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This natural healing process helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, minimize acne scars, and enhance overall skin tone.
Does microneedling hurt?
Most clients find microneedling very tolerable. A numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort. You usually feel a prickling sensation. After the session, your skin is usually red and you will feel like you have a mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within a day.
When will I see results? Because I need this glow ASAP!
Patience, my friend! You’ll start noticing a fresh glow within a few days, but the real magic happens over the next few weeks as your collagen kicks into high gear. For best results, plan for 3–6 sessions spaced about a month apart. Trust the process—your skin will thank you!
How long does a microneedling session take?
There’s no solid evidence that lasers are unsafe during pregnancy, but since hormonal changes can affect hair growth and skin sensitivity, many professionals recommend waiting until after pregnancy to start treatments.
