Frequently asked questions
Yes indeed! It is required to be shaved ideally one day before your appointment. We also offer a service where our clinicians shave parts of your body that are going to be treated.
Those packages start at $60 and vary based on your treatment plan.
Yes, it is recommended you do not go sun tanning a week before and after your treatment. When in the sun, please use sunscreen and avoid exposure as much as possible.
Great question! Everyone’s pain threshold differs. In addition, there are other parts of the body that are more sensitive than others. From our experience at our clinic using the Quanta Light EVO, the sensation of the laser responsible for hair removal is described as anywhere from a tickle to a slight prick. Some parts of your body will feel no sensation at all. Relatively speaking, laser hair removal process is much softer than IPL photo facials which can get a bit spicey.
Again, this differs from person to person. We recommend about 6-8 sessions per area. That being said, we’ve had many clients say they see a huge difference after just 1 session. (This doens’t mean you only need one session).
What you may witness is that when the hair grows back you’ll have patches and areas where no hair grows back at all. When this happens, you will see that those gaps are areas where the follicle has been destroyed. It’s working! you are now one step closer to being hair free!
It depends on how much of the body you cover. Generally, each half of the body, depending on the size of the client takes about 30 minutes. We are usually able to a do a full body treatment in about 1 hour.
We would like to book sessions for clients about once every 30 days.
Shopping around for Laser Hair Removal can be a difficult task. Between your budget and other factors, not everyone is a good fit for the laser hair removal service.
As far as the machines go, most clinics have the latest FDA approved machinery. The differences between machines usually varies along the coolant systems that aid the laser in removing the hair follicle. At Eleven 11 Laser + Skincare, we chose the Quanta Light Evo because we felt it had superior results and was also the safest and pain free laser available on the market.
