Frequently Asked Questions
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients require 6-8 treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart for optimal results. Hair grows in cycles, and laser is only effective during the active growth phase. Individual needs vary based on hair type, treatment area, and hormonal factors.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction. Most patients experience permanent reduction of 70-90% of treated hair. Some fine or light hairs may remain, and occasional maintenance treatments may be needed.
Does laser hair removal work on all skin types?
Modern laser technology can safely treat most skin types. However, very light blonde, red, or gray hair may not respond well to laser due to lack of pigment. Dr. Berens will assess your skin and hair type during consultation.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as a rubber band snap against the skin. Discomfort is typically mild and well-tolerated. Cooling devices and topical numbing cream can be used for sensitive areas.
What should I avoid before and after treatment?
Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and self-tanners for 2 weeks before treatment. Do not wax or pluck hair for 4-6 weeks prior (shaving is allowed). After treatment, avoid sun exposure and use broad-spectrum sunscreen.
