How soon after hair removal treatment will i see results?
Two weeks after the first treatment you will begin to see results and significantly less hair will grow back. Additionally, with each treatment, the amount of regrowth will decrease.

Most clients need 6-10 treatments, spaced 4-12 weeks apart. Intervals and session length depend on the area being treated, but the average session takes around 30 minutes.

Why are multiple hair removal treatments necessary?
Hair removal treatments target actively growing hairs. Hair follicles cycle through stages of growth (anagen), transition (catagen), and rest (telogen). At any given moment, a percentage of follicles are actively growing, while others are dormant or transitioning. Because of the cycling growth phases, multiple session are required to achieve full results.

FAQ- HOLLYWOOD FACIAL
-
How does the treatment work?
A layer of medical grade carbon is applied to the face and allowed to dry over a period of 5-10 minutes. The carbon acts as a magnet to impurities in the skin and adheres to dead skin cells and excess oil on the skin’s surface. The laser is then used to heat and target the carbon particles. As the laser moves across the face, the carbon is sublimated off the skin, exfoliating and removing debris. The treatment minimizes pore size and its thermal effect stimulates collagen and elastin renewal.
-
How many treatments will i need for optimal results??
Most patients experience noticeable results after a single session. For optimal results, we recommend a series of 4-6 treatments at 2-4 week intervals, depending on your skin type and concerns. Because this treatment produces an immediate improvement to skin tone and texture, many people like to have a single session before a big event or night out. It’s the perfect treatment for brides before the big day!

What improvements will I notice?
You will see reductions in pore size, fine lines and wrinkles, and blemishes. You will notice an improvement to the overall appearance of your skin and a youthful glow. The skin is often slightly pink immediately following the treatment, but this subsides after a few hours, and makeup or sunscreen may be applied directly after the treatment.

No, the treatment is non-invasive and gentle, most people describe the sensation as a warm tingling feeling. The treatment takes approximately 45 minutes from start to finish.

Are there any restrictions to daily activity?
There are no restrictions of your normal activity after the treatment, but we do recommend avoiding excess sun exposure during the treatment period. Make-up can be applied after treatment and skincare products for acne, hyper pigmentation, or wrinkles can be applied the following day
FAQ- CONTOURING
-
How does the treatment work?
Our contouring treatments use multi-polar RadioFrequency (RF) technology. During the treatment, RF pulses are emitted in the treatment area. The current targets the subcutaneous fat cells causing them to shrink in size. Simultaneously, the heat causes collagen fibres to contract and tighten the skin. Through a series of treatments, the body produces new collagen and elastin which lead to long-term skin tightening results.
-
Why contouring?
The majority of us struggle when it comes to achieving the body shape we desire. While diet and exercise are critical factors, there are specific areas of the body that seem resistant to fat loss- no matter how many crunches or squats. With contouring you can target those stubborn areas without extensive and invasive surgery, and with no downtime. In just a few sessions you can tighten your post-baby belly, reduce cellulite on your bum and thighs and achieve a well-defined jawline.
-
How many treatments are required?
While immediate improvement is visible in most cases after a single treatment, most patients report significant results after 3-4 treatments, and optimal long-term results after 8-12 treatments. Periodic maintenance can be performed following a complete treatment series, and may be recommended depending on the treatment area and body composition.
-
Is there any downtime after treatment?
No, you can resume your normal activities immediately following treatment. You may experience some redness in the treatment area, which subsides within hours of the session.
