Laser Hair Removal treatments are usually performed every 6 weeks, but this depends on individual factors that we will discuss with you during your consultation.

Each treatment will result in less hair coming back, as well as hair growing progressively lighter in color, finer and slower-growing with each treatment.

5. Does the treatment hurt?
The sensation is often described as a "hot pinch" or "snapping" feeling. The sensation only lasts for a fraction of a second and you may feel warmth or a tingling sensation for a short time afterward. At Via Medical Day Spa, we also use the popular Zimmer Cooler which blows cold air on the skin during your treatment enhancing your comfort. The Sonata laser is also equipped with contact cooling as well.

Temporary pinkness in the skin lasts a very short time and most people return to work or normal activities immediately after treatment. The treated area will "shed" some hairs over the next 3 to 4 weeks and you may experience a period of hairlessness in the area while you wait for your next treatment.
