Laser Hair Removal FAQ
Welcome to your glow-up ritual. Whether you’re new to laser or a returning goddess, here’s everything you need to know before stepping into your smoothest self.
1. What exactly is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a modern, non-invasive way to reduce hair growth by using light energy to target the hair follicle. It’s safe, gentle, and leaves your skin feeling soft and silky — like a goddess strolling the Aegean coast.
2. Is it permanent?
Think of laser hair removal as long-term liberation from shaving and waxing. While some hair may eventually return, most of our sisters enjoy months (or years!) of smooth, carefree skin with just the occasional touch-up.
3. How many sessions will I need?
We typically recommend 6–12 sessions, spaced every 4–8 weeks, depending on your skin, hair type and body part. Every body is unique — we’ll guide you through your personalized journey during your first visit.
4. Does it hurt?
Most clients describe it as a tiny snap from a rubber band or tiny needle pricks — totally manageable. Our devices include cooling systems to keep you comfortable throughout. Some areas are more sensitive than others, but we’ll always check in and support you like a true sister.
5. Can all skin tones be treated?
Yes! We use technology that’s safe and effective for ALL skin tones, and our expert team is trained to treat every shade of beauty with care and precision.
6. Which areas can be treated?
From brows to bikini — we’ve got you covered:
-
Face (lip, chin, cheeks)
-
Underarms
-
Arms & legs
-
Bikini, Brazilian, and beyond
-
Back & chest
-
Stomach & neck
7. How do I prep for my appointment?
To get the most out of your laser ritual:
-
Shave the area 24 hours before your visit
-
Avoid tanning, sunbeds & self-tanners for 2 weeks
-
Skip waxing, tweezing, or depilatory creams for 4–6 weeks
-
Come in with clean, makeup-free skin (we’ve got you if you forget!)
8. What happens after my session?
You may feel a little flushed or warm (like a sun-kissed glow). This fades quickly. Avoid sun, saunas, or heavy workouts for 24–48 hours, and keep your skin cool and hydrated.
9. Are there any side effects?
Side effects are rare, but you might notice temporary redness or sensitivity. We’ll always guide you on aftercare and check in as needed — because you’re part of the sisterhood now.
10. Is laser hair removal right for everyone?
You might want to wait or skip laser if you:
-
Are pregnant
-
Have blonde, red, grey or white hair in the treatment area
-
Are taking certain medications such as:
-
Antibiotics:
-
Tetracyclines (e.g., doxycycline, minocycline)
-
Fluoroquinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin)
-
Accutane (Isotretinoin):
-
Must be discontinued for at least 6 months before laser hair removal
-
Retinoids (oral and topical):
-
Topicals should be paused 3–5 days before treatment
-
Sulfonamides
-
St. John’s Wort (herbal supplement)
11. How much does it cost?
We believe in luxury without the price tag. Our treatments are tailored and affordable, with a la carte, custom packages and flexible payment options. Get in touch for a quote — or better yet, book a consultation and we’ll walk you through it.
12. Can I shave between sessions?
Yes! Shaving is encouraged. Just skip the wax, thread, or tweeze — those methods remove the root, and the laser needs that root to do its magic.
13. Do I need a consultation first?
Absolutely. We offer complimentary consultations to meet you, check your skin & hair type, and answer any questions. It’s all about creating a ritual that suits you.
14. How do I book?
You can book online, call us directly, or DM us on Instagram. However you reach us, you’re always welcome here.
