Frequently Asked Questions
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target and destroy hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair, which damages the follicle, reducing or stopping future hair growth. Devices like the Vectus and Venus Velocity are designed for speed, comfort, and precision, with built-in cooling systems to make the procedure more comfortable.
- Vectus: Known for its large treatment spot size and advanced technology, making it ideal for quick treatments over large areas like the legs, back, or chest.
- Venus Velocity: Provides versatile settings and precision, making it suitable for all skin types and smaller or more sensitive areas. It also has a real-time cooling system to enhance comfort.
Most people describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Both the Vectus and Venus Velocity lasers come with cooling systems that help minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Typically, 6-8 sessions are recommended for optimal results, though this may vary based on hair type, skin tone, and the area being treated. Hair grows in cycles, so multiple sessions are needed to target hair in its active growth phase.
Yes, with the advancements in laser technology, both the Vectus and Venus Velocity lasers are designed to treat a variety of skin tones. The Vectus laser, for example, uses Skintel™ technology to measure melanin levels, allowing for safe and personalized treatment for all skin types, from light to dark.
Laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, but some people may experience regrowth over time. The hair that grows back is usually finer and lighter. Maintenance sessions may be required for long-term results.
- Before: Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and waxing 4-6 weeks before treatment. Shave the area 24-48 hours prior to your session.
- After: Avoid sun exposure, hot showers, and intense workouts for 24-48 hours after the treatment. Use sunscreen on the treated areas when exposed to the sun.
Common side effects include redness, swelling, or slight discomfort in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few hours to a day. Rarely, blistering or changes in skin pigmentation may occur, but these side effects are more likely if post-care instructions are not followed.
Session length varies based on the area being treated. For example, small areas like the upper lip may take 5-10 minutes, while larger areas like the legs or back may take up to 45 minutes to an hour.
Ideal candidates have dark, coarse hair and light skin, but newer technologies like the Vectus and Venus Velocity are suitable for a wide range of skin tones and hair types. A consultation with a provider can determine individual suitability.
