Frequently Asked Questions
Does laser hair removal hurt?
The SMARTDiode's built-in cooling system makes treatments comfortable for most clients. You may feel a mild warmth or snapping sensation, but it's well tolerated.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients need 6–8 sessions for optimal results. Hair grows in cycles, so multiple sessions are needed to target all follicles at the right stage.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. The SMARTDiode is safe and effective across a wide range of skin tones. We'll assess your skin at consultation to confirm suitability.
How long do results last?
Most clients experience long-term hair reduction after completing their course. Some may benefit from occasional maintenance sessions.
Can I have laser if I'm pregnant?
We do not treat clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Please let us know at your consultation.
What should I do before my appointment?
Shave the area 24 hours before treatment. Avoid sun exposure, fake tan, and waxing for at least 4 weeks prior.
