Frequently Asked Questions

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

Yes. ND:YAG lasers penetrate deeper and are safer for higher Fitzpatrick types when used by trained clinicians. We adjust energy and cooling to minimize pigment changes. A mandatory patch test 48 hours prior confirms skin reaction before full treatment.

Most clients need six to eight sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart. Individual results vary by hair thickness, hormonal factors, and growth cycles. Maintenance touch-ups may be recommended annually for remaining or regrowth spots.

Yes. A patch test is required at least 48 hours before treatment to assess pigment response and tolerance. It helps our clinicians choose appropriate settings and ensures safety, particularly important for Fitzpatrick skin types V and VI.

We clean and mark the area, provide eye protection, and use cooling for comfort. You may feel brief snapping or warming sensations. Sessions for medium zones generally last 15–30 minutes, followed by soothing gel and aftercare guidance.

Common effects include temporary redness, swelling, or mild irritation that resolve in days. Pigment changes are uncommon with ND:YAG on darker skin but possible; strict sun avoidance and following post-care reduce risks. Contact us for prolonged symptoms.

Avoid tanning and sun exposure for two weeks, stop topical retinoids and bleaching agents as advised. Shave the treatment area 24–48 hours before your appointment, arrive with clean skin, and complete the required 48-hour patch test.
