Answering your most commonly asked questions regarding laser hair removal.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser Hair Removal uses concentrated light energy to target and disable hair follicles, preventing future growth while keeping surrounding skin safe and unharmed.
Is laser hair removal safe for all skin types?
Yes. Modern medical-grade lasers are designed to safely treat a wide range of skin tones. Our specialist selects settings based on your skin type and hair characteristics to ensure safe, effective sessions.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies for everyone. Factors like your hair type, hormones, skin tone, and natural hair growth cycle determine how many sessions you’ll require. Your specialist will create a personalized plan after assessing your skin and hair.
Is laser hair removal suitable for both men and women?
Yes, laser hair removal is safe and effective for both men and women. Treatment can be customized to suit different hair types, densities, and body areas for all clients. At The Lounge Med, we offer laser hair removal services to all genders.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as mild, similar to a quick snap. The Candela GentleMax Pro uses a built-in cooling air system to keep the skin comfortable throughout the treatment.
Is there any downtime?
No. You can return to your normal routine immediately after your laser hair removal session. Mild redness may appear but typically fades within hours.
How do I prepare for my session?
Avoid waxing, threading, or plucking for at least two weeks before your appointment, as the hair root must be intact for effective results. Shave 24 hours prior, avoid direct sun exposure and tanning products, stop retinol or exfoliating acids 3–5 days before treatment, and arrive with clean, product-free skin.
What results can I expect?
You can expect smoother, softer skin with reduced hair regrowth after each session. Results become progressively longer-lasting over time, and occasional maintenance sessions help keep your skin hair-free.
Are there any risks or side effects?
Temporary redness, warmth, or mild swelling may occur and typically resolve within a few hours. Following pre- and post-care instructions significantly reduces risks such as pigmentation changes or irritation.
Does laser hair removal work on blonde hair?
Laser hair removal is most effective on dark, coarse hair because the laser targets melanin in the hair follicle. Blonde, gray, or red hair contains less melanin, making it less responsive to treatment. Alternative options may be discussed with your specialist.
Can individuals under 18 undergo laser treatment?
Minors can undergo laser hair removal only after a consultation with a doctor. If approved, the procedure can proceed with a signed consent form from a parent or legal guardian.
