Stop shaving.
Properly this time.

Six to eight sessions, four to six weeks apart, on the 1064 nm long-pulse platform — the wavelength that is safe on deeper skin tones. Permanent reduction, not a permanent promise: expect a top-up once or twice a year.

Why the gaps matter

Only growing hair responds.

At any moment, roughly a quarter of the hair in an area is in its active growth phase. Only that quarter absorbs enough energy to matter. The four-to-six-week spacing exists to catch the next batch, which is why six sessions beats six weeks of weekly appointments.

Phase 01

Anagen

Actively growing, follicle attached to the papilla. This is the only phase the laser can disable.

Phase 02

Catagen

Detaching. Treating now wastes the session — the energy has nothing to conduct into.

Phase 03

Telogen

Resting. Nothing above the surface, nothing to treat. It will return in a few weeks.

Phase 04

Repeat

Each pass catches a different quarter. Six to eight sessions covers the full cycle.

FAQ

Before your first session

Is it safe on my skin tone?
Yes. We use 1064 nm long-pulse, which melanin absorbs poorly — that is what makes it the appropriate wavelength for deeper and Asian skin tones. We assess your Fitzpatrick type and patch test first.
Does it work on blonde, red or grey hair?
Poorly, and we will tell you that rather than sell you a package. The laser targets pigment in the follicle; without pigment there is nothing to target.
Can I shave between sessions?
Yes — shaving is fine and expected. Waxing, plucking and threading are not, because they remove the follicle the laser needs to find.
