About the treatment
Laser hair removal at Olivo Med Spa treats face and body in a planned series.
Laser hair removal targets pigment in the hair follicle with light energy, disabling the follicle over a series of sessions. Hair grows in cycles, so only follicles in the active phase respond at each visit. That is why a plan is a series, usually six to eight sessions spaced several weeks apart, rather than a single appointment.
Skin tone and hair color determine which settings are appropriate. All skin tones are assessed at consultation. Common areas include underarms, bikini, legs, back, chest, and face. Sessions run from ten minutes for a small area to about an hour for full legs.
For people who want to maintain results over time, the Laser Hair Reduction Club membership spreads sessions across the year. Terms are explained at consultation, along with a realistic estimate of how many sessions your areas will need and how to prepare the skin before each visit.

Laser hair removal, answered
Will the hair come back?
Most people see a lasting reduction after a full series. Hormones and follicles that were dormant during treatment can produce new growth over time, so occasional maintenance sessions are common. That is what the Laser Hair Reduction Club is for.
Does it work on darker skin?
Settings differ by skin tone, and the right wavelength matters for darker skin. All skin tones are assessed at consultation and treated only when the device and settings are appropriate for you.
How should I prepare?
Shave the area the day before. Avoid waxing, plucking, and sun exposure for several weeks before each session, since the laser needs the follicle in place and untanned skin to work well.
