Vixen® Laser Hair Removal FAQ’s
Laser hair removal is designed to achieve permanent hair removal, but in a few cases when the follicle is not completely destroyed or when the hair growth cycle is not timed properly, the hair may grow back. In that case, the area can be retreated for permanent results.
Hair from the face, upper lip, chin, neck, back, chest, shoulders, arms, underarms, hands, legs, feet, buttocks and all bikini areas can be treated.
Results vary from client to client, expect to see a huge decrease in the hair thickness and in the amount of hair present.
Treatments are extremely quick and depending on the size of the area, can be done in just minutes. We have the best equipment to treat small areas and large areas making your appointments quick and effective.
As our certified estheticians guide the laser handpiece over the treatment area you will feel cooling on the skin. This contact cooling will maximize your comfort during the treatment, making it a very tolerable experience.
Most people see results in the texture and amount of hair in just one procedure, but usually 4 – 6 treatments are needed to achieve a permanent reduction in hair, especially in large treatment areas. That’s because hair grows in cycles, and the hair and follicle must be treated at specific points during that growth cycle in order for the laser to be effective.

We can easily work around your tattoo if possible. A tattoo is created by permanently inserting high concentrations of pigment into the uppermost layer of skin. The high concentration of pigment will absorb laser light, causing discomfort and lighten your tattoo. Remember, lasers are also used for tattoo removal.
Laser hair removal is recovery free, you may return to your regular activities immediately following the treatment, although redness around the follicle could be expected 24 hours following the procedure. To avoid discomfort 24 hours following the treatment avoid strenuous activities that would make you sweat.
