Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about ND YAG Laser Large Area.

Yes — ND YAG is specifically chosen for darker skin tones. It reduces melanin absorption in the epidermis, lowering burn and pigment risk. A mandatory patch test and customized settings ensure safety under clinician supervision.

Treatment plans vary; most clients need 6–10 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart depending on hair growth and area size. Large areas sometimes require additional sessions for full coverage and optimal long-term reduction.

Yes. We require a pre-treatment patch test to confirm skin tolerance and ideal settings. The patch test typically occurs days to weeks before the first full session and helps prevent adverse reactions.

During appointments, the area is cleansed, cooled, and treated with ND YAG pulses. Sessions for large areas can last 30–90 minutes. Expect mild stinging, temporary redness, and cooling between passes for comfort.

Avoid tanning, sun exposure, and self-tanning products for several weeks. Shave the treatment area 24 hours before and avoid plucking or waxing. Disclose medications, recent procedures, and medical history at consultation.

Common temporary effects include redness, swelling, and mild sensitivity. Rare risks can include blistering or pigment changes, which patch testing and conservative settings reduce. Follow aftercare instructions and contact us for concerns.
