Q: What is laser hair removal?
A: Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused light energy to target and disable hair follicles, reducing unwanted hair growth over time. With consistent treatments, it provides long-lasting hair reduction.
Q: What makes AllTone Laser Hair Removal different?
A: AllTone uses the Cutera Excel HR, an advanced laser system designed to safely treat all skin tones. Its dual-wavelength technology allows us to customize each treatment for optimal results, comfort, and safety.
Q: Is laser hair removal safe for all skin tones?
A: Yes. The Cutera Excel HR is FDA-cleared and features Nd:YAG technology, which is especially safe and effective for darker skin tones, while the Alexandrite wavelength is ideal for lighter skin tones.
Q: Does laser hair removal hurt?
A: Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snapping or warmth. The Cutera Excel HR includes an advanced cooling system that significantly reduces discomfort, making treatments very tolerable.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: Most clients require 6–8 sessions for optimal results. The exact number depends on hair thickness, treatment area, skin tone, and hair growth cycle.
Q: How long does each session take?
A: Treatment times vary by area:
Small areas (upper lip, underarms): 5–15 minutes
Medium areas (bikini, face): 15–30 minutes
Large areas (legs, back): 30–60 minutes
Q: Is there any downtime after treatment?
A: No downtime is required. You may experience mild redness or warmth in the treated area, which typically subsides within a few hours.
Q: When will I see results?
A: Hair will begin to shed within 1–3 weeks after treatment. With each session, regrowth becomes finer, lighter, and slower.
Q: Can I shave before my appointment?
A: Yes. Shaving is recommended 24 hours before treatment. Avoid waxing, plucking, threading, or bleaching for at least 4 weeks prior, as the laser needs the hair root to be intact.
Q: Is laser hair removal permanent?
A: Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction. While some fine regrowth may occur over time, occasional maintenance sessions can help keep skin smooth.
Q: Are there any side effects?
A: Side effects are minimal when performed correctly. Temporary redness or slight swelling may occur and usually resolves quickly. Our trained professionals prioritize safety and proper settings for your skin type.
Q: Who should not receive laser hair removal?
A: Laser hair removal may not be suitable for individuals who are:
Pregnant (area-dependent)
Using certain medications that increase photosensitivity
Experiencing active skin infections or open wounds
A consultation will determine if treatment is right for you.
