FAQ

Face-specific questions.

Facial laser is generally well-tolerated — built-in cooling before each pulse, and small areas mean very short sessions. Numbing cream is available if you want extra comfort, especially for the upper lip.
Most clients see 80–90% reduction after 6–8 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Hormonal areas (chin, upper lip) sometimes need occasional maintenance every 6–12 months.
It reduces visible hair effectively, though hormonal causes mean new hair may continue to develop. Most clients with PCOS-related hair pair laser with their healthcare provider's plan and benefit from periodic maintenance sessions.
Yes. The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus uses dual wavelengths — including Nd:YAG, which is the safest, most effective wavelength for melanin-rich skin. Your first visit always includes a complimentary test patch.
