HAIR REMOVAL FAQS

WHAT AREAS CAN LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREAT?

The Vectus Laser can remove hair from faces, backs, chests, arms, underarms, bikini, and legs

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

The Vectus can safely be used on all skin types from very light skin to very dark skin. It is best if the hair is black or brown, however, your provider will determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure based on a variety of factors

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

We offer packages of 6 treatments. This is the average number of sessions needed for the best aesthetic outcome. Laser hair removal technology can only affect hair in active phases of growth, so several treatments are needed to affect all of the unwanted hair.

CAN I SHAVE IN BETWEEN LASER HAIR REMOVAL SESSIONS?

Yes. In fact, the area needs to be freshly shaved before your treatment session. You may shave the area the day before the treatment or the day of the treatment before coming in for your session. But you should not wax or plucking of the hair.

HOW FAR APART ARE TREATMENT SESSIONS?

It depends on which area is getting treated. In general, face, underarms, arms, and bikini are approximately 4-6 weeks apart. Back, chest, and legs are approximately 8-10 weeks apart.

WHAT WILL LASER HAIR REMOVAL FEEL LIKE?

Most people feel only a slight momentary “snap” at the treatment site during the procedure

HOW QUICKLY WILL I RECOVER?

You can resume regular daily activities immediately following treatment

Are There Any Side Effects?

Typically, most people experience a mild, sunburn-like sensation, possibly accompanied by some minor redness and/or swelling immediately following the treatment. This usually lasts 2-24 hours. Ask your provider to discuss other possible side effects and the necessary post-treatment care with you.
