Most clients need 6–8 sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart, depending on hair color, thickness, and hormonal factors. Maintenance touch-ups may be recommended annually. Our technicians tailor a treatment plan during consultation for optimal, lasting results.

Most clients describe mild snapping sensations rather than severe pain. We use cooling devices and adjustable settings to increase comfort; topical numbing can be applied on request. Sessions are brief, and any redness typically subsides within a few hours to a day.

Advanced laser systems at MedLife Massage treat a wide range of skin tones, including darker complexions, using appropriate wavelengths and settings. Very light, gray, or red hairs respond less predictably; an assessment will determine expected outcomes and the best technology for your skin.

Avoid tanning and direct sun exposure for two weeks, skip waxing or plucking, and shave the area 24 hours before your session. Discontinue topical retinoids as advised and tell us about medications or recent skin treatments during your consultation.

Common short-term effects include mild redness, swelling, and temporary follicular swelling or bumps. Rarely, temporary lightening or darkening of skin occurs. Follow aftercare instructions, avoid sun exposure, and return for follow-up if you notice prolonged irritation or unexpected changes.

Hair thinning and reduced regrowth are often noticeable after the first session, with treated hairs shedding over one to three weeks. Best, lasting results appear after the full recommended series as hair follicles become progressively less active.
