LASER TREATMENTS

 

Is laser hair removal painful?

People have compared it to a rubber band snapping against the skin or a slight pinching feeling. Compared to waxing the treatment has very little discomfort. Everyone’s pain tolerance is different.

​

What machine do you use for laser hair removal?

We use the Candela Gentlemax Pro.

​

Is my skin tone suitable for hair removal?

Absolutely – most people are suitable for Laser Hair Removal Treatments. Laser light is attracted to dark hair follicles and therefore the darker the hair follicle, the more likely it is to permanently remove your unwanted hair. It even works safely and effectively for dark skinned individuals. The only exception is for those with blonde, red or white hair whereby Laser Hair Removal Treatments will not work at all.

​

How do I prepare for laser hair removal?

If you have been bleaching your hair, you will need to allow the normal colour to regrow before proceeding with laser. If you have been waxing your hair, you will need to wait at least 3-4 weeks before receiving a laser treatment. Otherwise there is no preparation required, other than shaving the area the night before, and avoid using deodorants and other skin products on the area on the day of your treatment.

​

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal is permanent hair reduction. The hair follicles that are treated, are destroyed. The remaining hair is thin and fine. Changes in health, medications or hormone levels can cause new growth in the future.

 

How many treatments do I need for laser hair removal?

We recommend a minimum of 6 sessions.

​

How often do I need to book my appointments?

You should be booking your appointments every 4-6 weeks.

​

How much does tattoo removal cost?

Our prices start at $100 per session and they will increase based on size and colour.

​

How long will it take to remove my tattoo?

It depends on how long you’ve had the tattoo, and how well your body removes the ink particles once they are broken up. But we typically recommend anywhere from 6-10 sessions.

FACIAL TREATMENTS 

 

Which facial is best for me?

The best way to decide which facial is best suited to your needs, it to come in for a consultation. You will discuss your concerns with the esthetician and from there we can tailor a skin care plan to help you see the results you desire.

​

How long will it take?

All of our facials here at NU Med take between 45 to 60 minutes to perform.

​

Can I wear makeup right away?

For most of our treatments yes, you can wear makeup right after. The only treatment that you cannot reapply makeup afterward is microneedling.

​
