Tips to Remember Laser Hair Removal

Soprano ICE Platinum

  • Each client's results will vary due to their age, genetics, family background, skin type and hormonal imbalances. Please keep these expectations and guidelines in mind, as your results will depend on them!
  • Results may vary due to skin type, hair colour, thickness, hormones and even genetics. Laser hair removal needs patience, commitment and time.
  • Depending on the hair type, skin type and body regions, 6 to 8, even 12 treatments may be needed, especially on the most stubborn of hair.
  • Stubborn hairs are fine, thin, peach fuzz-like around the face, labia area and new hairs that are growing after final treatments in all treatment regions.
  • Laser hair removal is 75% to 85% reduction. Laser will not remove blond, gray, thin or peach fuzz-looking hair.
  • The Laser will only destroy thick, dark, coarse hair that is in the first stage of hair growth. When attached to the blood supply, the laser will travel down the hair shaft and kill the blood supply with high-intensity heat. The hairs that are not in this phase (50% of them are NOT in the first three sessions) will need to wait and be treated at the next session. This is why it's very important to commit yourself to at least 8 sessions for true results. After your 8th treatment, we can discuss electrolysis to get rid of stubborn hair if need be.
  • DO NOT wax, sugar, pluck or epilate during your laser treatments unless instructed by Ashley. The end goal at session 6 is to train the hair to be attached to the blood supply. HOWEVER, you may ONLY shave TWO to THREE weeks after your laser treatment.
  • Throughout your sessions, you will notice NEW growth. This is NOT the hair coming back! These are new follicles forming and creating new hair that we cannot control. FYI you may see an influx of new hair at session three. Don't panic; this is normal as the follicles that were forming during your first session are now starting to sprout. This is a good thing, as we now have new hair attached to the blood supply to destroy!
  • Please keep in mind certain factors will generate hair growth. Such as; hypo/hyper thyroid, medications, stress, change in diet, weight gain/loss, coming off and on birth control, hormonal imbalance, PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), pregnancy, miscarriages, breast feeding Etc.
  • Facial laser hair removal is the hardest to treat due to hormonal imbalances and fast growth rate. (as stated above) These areas include: upper lip, chin and neck area. Electrolysis is an Ideal treatment for facial hair removal after laser treatments are complete. Approximately 6-8 laser treatments.
  • Treatments are recommended 6-12 weeks apart. The more hair you have, the better the result! However, if you let treatment lapse for too long, the pattern of hair growth is disrupted and may result in additional treatments.
  • Reminders are sent the day before your treatment. If I do not receive a response by 8:00 pm the same day, I will assume you do not wish to continue treatment and your appointment time will be given to another client. If you have bought a package, your session will be lost.
  • Please avoid direct sun 24-48hrs before and after laser treatment.
  • Please avoid high-intensity heat (hot steam showers, saunas/steam rooms) for 24-48 hours after your laser hair removal treatment. The treatment may cause mild inflammation. Keeping the skin cool with Alo and an ice pack is ideal. 20 mins at a time.
  • Always avoid oils, lotions, and makeup on desired treatments before treatment.
  • We ask that the desired area be exfoliated and closely shaved the day before treatment. The closer the shave, the better and easier the pain-free treatment.
  • Please do not hesitate to contact Ashley with any questions, issues or concerns.
  • Regarding no-shows and short cancellations: Any no-show or short cancellations will result in lost treatment time. If you have purchased a package, the amount for that appointment will be lost. Or, a cancellation charge will apply. Thank you for respecting our time and the time of others.

Thank you for taking the time to read and understand the above guidelines. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Ashley at 905 920 7229.
