Most people describe it as a quick warm snap. Some areas are more sensitive than others, but the sensation is brief and our Candela GentleMax Pro has built-in cooling.

Tell us right away. Your nurse can pause at any time, check your skin, and make sure you feel comfortable before continuing.

Burns are a possible risk with laser, which is why we assess your skin, hair, sun exposure, medications, and treatment area before treatment. If it does not look safe to treat that day, we will not push it.

Yes. The GentleMax Pro offers two wavelengths, allowing treatment to be selected based on your skin tone and hair characteristics. Your skin is evaluated before treatment.

Not at all. Thick, coarse, hormonal, facial, back, bikini, or ingrown hair is exactly what we treat. You never need to apologize for your body hair.

Only the treatment area needs to be accessible. Your nurse will explain what is needed, protect your privacy, and stop at any time if you feel uncomfortable.

No. We are nurses, and our job is to provide safe, respectful care. Stretch marks, scars, pigmentation, body size, and body hair are all normal.

No. We generally want the area shaved, not grown out. The laser targets the hair structure beneath the skin, so long visible hair is not needed.

It happens. Tell your nurse when you arrive. A small area may be prepared safely, or skipped if needed.

Waxing, tweezing, and threading remove hair from the root. Laser needs the follicle target present, so shaving is preferred between treatments.

Absolutely. Ask what we are doing, what you may feel, or whether something is normal. There are no silly questions during your appointment.

That is okay. A consultation does not obligate you to proceed. You can pause or stop at any time.

You do not need to know anything about laser before you arrive. Bring your questions, nerves, and goals, and we will guide you through the rest.

Temporary redness, warmth, tenderness, or small bumps around follicles can happen after treatment. Contact us for severe pain, blistering, worsening redness, drainage, or anything that concerns you.

Usually, yes. Most people return to their normal day, although the skin may look pink or feel warm for a short time.

Tell us before treatment, even if the medication seems unrelated. Some medications or health changes can affect whether laser should be performed that day.

Tell us. Recent sun exposure can increase the risk of a skin reaction. Protecting your skin is more important than keeping an appointment.

We do not laser directly over tattoos. Your nurse will identify and avoid or protect tattooed areas during treatment.

Laser is intended to reduce hair growth. Many clients notice less hair, slower regrowth, and finer remaining hairs over time.

Treated hair does not disappear immediately. It can take days to weeks to loosen and shed, and it may briefly look like it is still growing.

No. Hair grows in different cycles, so a series of treatments is needed. Results develop gradually rather than after one visit.

That is normal. Hair thickness, hormones, body area, skin tone, and growth cycles all affect how quickly an area responds.

You can still benefit from laser. Hormonal hair can be more persistent, so additional treatments or maintenance may be needed.
