Laser Hair Removal FAQ
Everything You Need to Know Before You Go Smooth
1. How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal uses a concentrated beam of light to target the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles. The heat damages the follicle to inhibit or delay future hair growth—leaving your skin smoother with each session.
2. Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction. While it may not remove 100% of hair forever, most clients see a significant and lasting reduction. Occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended for best results.
3. What areas can be treated?
We treat both small and large areas, including:
Small: Upper lip, chin, underarms, bikini line
Large: Legs, arms, back, chest, Brazilian, and more
If you’re unsure, we’ll help determine the right category during your consultation.
4. Does it hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snap—similar to a rubber band. It’s quick and well-tolerated, and we use techniques to keep you as comfortable as possible during treatment.
5. How many sessions will I need?
For optimal results, we recommend a package of 4 treatment sessions. Since hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions ensure we target each follicle at the right stage. Long-term removal varies by person.
6. Can all skin types be treated?
Yes! At Magnolia & Steel Medispa, we use advanced laser technology that is safe and effective for most skin tones and hair types. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin to ensure the safest and most effective approach.
7. What should I do before and after treatment?
Before: Avoid sun exposure and don’t wax or pluck the area for at least 2 weeks prior.
After: Stay out of the sun, skip hot showers, and follow all aftercare instructions for the best results.
8. Is there any downtime?
There’s minimal to no downtime. You may experience some redness or mild sensitivity, but this usually fades within a few hours.
9. How much does it cost?
Small Area Package (4 sessions): $360
Large Area Package (4 sessions): $1,600
We offer transparent pricing and custom packages tailored to your needs.
