After treatment, shedding of the hair may occur and this may appear as new hair growth. This is not new hair growth, but dead hair pushing its way out of the follicle. You can help the hair exfoliate by washing or wiping with a washcloth.

Please note: Stubbles, representing dead hair being shed from the hair follicle, will appear within days from the treatment date. This is normal and will fall out quickly.

There can be some discomfort especially in sensitive areas but it is minimized with a DCD cooling system that sprays out with each pulse. Treatment is quick and certain areas can take anywhere from 10-15 minutes while larger areas can take up to 45 minutes.

Some clients compare the sensation to a light rubber band snap.
