Question 1

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Accepted Answer

Laser gives long-term, lasting results—but we like to keep it real. You’ll need a series of sessions (usually 6–8) for the best results, and occasional touch-ups down the line because hormones and hair cycles can make new hairs pop up.

Question 2

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Accepted Answer

Most clients describe it as a quick “snap” or “tingle,” not pain. With modern machines like the Alma Soprano Ice, the treatment feels more like a warm massage than torture.

Question 3

How should I prep before my laser appointment?

Accepted Answer

Shave the area 24 hours before your session, skip waxing or plucking (we need the follicle in place for the laser to work), and avoid tanning/self-tanner before your appointment. Clean, bare skin = the best results.

Question 4

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

Everyone’s different, but most people see the best results with 6–8 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. After that, a few maintenance sessions a year can keep you silky smooth.

Question 5

Can I get laser if I have darker skin or lighter hair?

Accepted Answer

Yes! With advanced technology like the Alma Soprano Ice, all skin tones can be treated safely. The only tricky part? Very light blonde, grey, or red hairs are harder for the laser to target since there’s less pigment for the laser to grab onto.

Question 6

What laser machine do you use?

Accepted Answer

At Peaches Skin Studio we use the Alma Soprano Ice Platinum—aka the Beyoncé of lasers. It’s safe for all skin tones, virtually painless, and designed for fast, effective results. Think smooth skin without the drama.

Question 7

Can I get laser hair removal if I’m pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Nope—laser isn’t recommended during pregnancy. While there’s no proven harm, there also aren’t enough studies to guarantee it’s 100% safe for you and baby. For now, we suggest sticking to waxing if you want to stay smooth, and saving your laser sessions for after pregnancy.

Question 8

Can I get laser hair removal if I’m breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can! Laser is considered safe while breastfeeding since the light only targets the hair follicle and doesn’t affect your milk. The only thing to keep in mind is that hormones may still be shifting, which can affect how your hair grows and how well it responds to treatment.
