Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Sideburns.

Most clients require 6 to 8 sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart, depending on hair thickness, color, and skin type. Our clinician assesses your needs and recommends a personalized schedule to achieve optimal, lasting reduction.

Most clients feel mild discomfort described as a warm snap or stinging. We use cooling technology and topical numbing if needed to minimize pain, making treatments tolerable and quick. Sensation varies with individual sensitivity and device settings.

Temporary redness or mild swelling is common immediately after treatment and typically subsides within hours to a few days. Scarring is rare when performed by trained professionals following proper post-care. We provide aftercare instructions to promote safe healing and reduce complications.

Shaving is allowed and recommended to keep skin smooth without disrupting follicles. Avoid waxing, plucking, or electrolysis between sessions because they remove hair roots needed for laser targeting. Follow technician guidance to prepare the area correctly before appointments.

Shave the area 24 hours before your appointment and avoid tanning, exfoliating, or applying heavy skincare products. Disclose medications and recent procedures during your consult. These steps help ensure safety and maximize laser effectiveness.

Avoid sun exposure, hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 24–72 hours to reduce irritation and hyperpigmentation risk. Use gentle cleansers and SPF, and follow any specific aftercare instructions we provide to promote healing and best results.
