What’s the difference between IPL and laser hair removal?
IPL uses broad-spectrum light, while laser hair removal uses a focused beam. Laser treatments are more precise and generally more effective for permanent hair reduction.
How long does a laser hair removal session take?
Small areas like the upper lip take about 5 minutes, while larger areas like full legs or back can take 30 to 60 minutes depending on coverage.
Does laser hair removal cause skin peeling?
Mild flaking or dryness can occur but is uncommon. Keeping the area moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free lotion usually prevents this.
Can I get laser hair removal if I have tattoos nearby?
Yes, but the laser won’t be used directly over tattoos. Your provider will carefully avoid inked areas to protect skin and prevent fading.
