Get answers to common questions about Shoulders.

Most clients need six to eight sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart. Final number depends on hair thickness, color, and skin type. We perform a consultation and patch test to build a personalized plan and adjust intervals for long-term reduction.

You may feel mild stinging or snapping sensations during shoulder treatments, but cooling and topical numbing reduce discomfort. Most people describe it as tolerable; we adjust settings for comfort while maintaining effectiveness.

Shave the shoulder area 24 hours before your appointment; avoid waxing, plucking, or bleaching for six weeks. Avoid sun exposure and tanning for two weeks prior. Clean, lotion-free skin helps the laser target follicles effectively.

Common short-term effects include redness, mild swelling, and follicle sensitivity lasting a few hours to days. Rarely blistering or pigment change occurs; following aftercare and sun avoidance reduces risks. We'll review your specific risk at consultation.

Laser delivers significant long-term hair reduction on shoulders, often eliminating many follicles permanently. Some regrowth can occur due to hormonal changes; occasional maintenance sessions maintain smoothness. Results vary by hair color, density, and individual response.

Tanned or recently sun-exposed skin increases burn and pigment-change risk and reduces laser effectiveness. Avoid sun and tanning beds at least two weeks before treatment and protect shoulders after sessions. We assess skin tone and may perform a patch test.
