Question 1

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal is significantly less painful than waxing — most clients describe it as a brief warm snap. Our Candela GentleMax Pro has a built-in cooling system that sprays a burst of cold air before each pulse, keeping your skin comfortable. Each session hurts less than the last because there's less hair to treat. By session 3-4, most people barely notice it.

Question 2

How fast will I see results from laser hair removal?

Accepted Answer

You'll see treated hairs start falling out within 1-2 weeks of your first session. By session 3-4, most clients see a dramatic reduction. Clinical studies confirm significant, lasting hair reduction after a full treatment series. Many clients are bikini-ready after just 4 sessions.

Question 3

How long does a laser hair removal session take?

Accepted Answer

Most laser hair removal sessions take 10-20 minutes depending on the area. Upper lip takes 10 minutes, underarms 15 minutes, bikini 20 minutes. Full legs take about 45-60 minutes. You can do this on your lunch break and go right back to work.

Question 4

What is the Glacē facial treatment?

Accepted Answer

The Glacē facial is a 5-step skin treatment that deep-cleanses, exfoliates, hydrates, sculpts, and finishes with LED therapy for an instant 'glass skin' glow. It includes a cupping massage to boost circulation, hydrodermabrasion to infuse vitamin-rich serums, a sculpting massage to contour and firm, and LED light therapy. Most clients see brighter, smoother skin after just one session, and 3-6 sessions deliver the best results.

Question 5

How often should I get a Glacē facial?

Accepted Answer

For best results, schedule Glacē facials every 2-4 weeks. Most clients see a visible glow after one session, but a series of 3-6 treatments delivers the most dramatic improvement in tone, texture, and hydration. After your initial series, monthly maintenance sessions keep your skin looking its best.

Question 6

Is there any downtime after a Glacē facial?

Accepted Answer

No — there is zero downtime after a Glacē facial. You can go right back to your day, apply makeup, and carry on as normal. Many clients book right before events, date nights, or vacations for an instant glow.

Question 7

What skin concerns does the Glacē facial treat?

Accepted Answer

The Glacē facial treats dull skin, dryness, uneven tone, rough texture, fine lines, and puffiness. It's especially effective for anyone who wants brighter, more hydrated skin without any invasive procedures or recovery time. Results are visible after a single session.

Question 8

What happens at my first laser hair removal visit?

Accepted Answer

Your first visit includes a patch test and a full treatment — you're in and out in about 30-45 minutes. You'll meet your provider, get an honest assessment of your skin and hair type, and leave with smooth skin plus a personalized treatment plan.

Question 9

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Accepted Answer

Yes, laser hair removal is permanent. Clinical studies confirm that once the hair follicle is disrupted, it can't produce new hair. An occasional touch-up (once or twice a year) handles any new growth from hormonal changes, but the treated hairs are gone for good.

Question 10

Can laser hair removal treat ingrown hairs?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal is one of the most effective treatments for ingrown hairs. By permanently eliminating the hair at the root, you eliminate the conditions that cause ingrowns. This is the #1 reason bikini and underarm clients come in — they're tired of the bumps and irritation from shaving and waxing.

Question 11

Can I shave between laser hair removal sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes — shaving between laser sessions is recommended. Shave 24-48 hours before each appointment. Just avoid waxing and plucking, as those remove the hair root the laser needs to target. Between sessions, you'll notice you need to shave less and less until you don't need to at all.

Question 12

How much money does laser hair removal save compared to shaving?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal saves over $10,000 compared to a lifetime of shaving and over $23,000 compared to regular waxing. The results are permanent and you get back hundreds of hours you'd spend shaving every year.

Question 13

What is the aftercare for laser hair removal?

Accepted Answer

Aftercare is minimal — just avoid sun and hot baths for 24-48 hours and apply SPF daily. Your skin might look slightly pink for a few hours. Apply aloe vera if needed. No bandages, no downtime — you can go right back to your day.

Question 14

Why choose laser hair removal over shaving or waxing?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal provides permanent results after just a few quick sessions, while shaving takes 182+ hours per year and waxing is painful and temporary. You save over $10,000 compared to a lifetime of shaving, eliminate ingrown hairs and razor burn forever, and never have to worry about stubble again.
