Laser Hair Removal
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Laser Hair Removal painful?
Laser Hair Removal is generally well-tolerated, with most people describing the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Some areas of the body may be more sensitive, but the discomfort is usually minimal and short-lived. The procedure is often less painful than waxing, and cooling mechanisms are often used to enhance comfort during treatment. While other lasers can be more painful, the Harmony technology we use is reported to be between very tolerable to virtually pain-free.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions required varies depending on the area being treated and the individual’s hair growth cycle. Most people need between 6 to 9 sessions for optimal results, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. This allows the laser to target hair in different stages of growth, ensuring comprehensive hair reduction.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects from Laser Hair Removal are generally mild and temporary. Common reactions include redness, swelling, and slight discomfort in the treated area, which typically subside within a few hours to a day. Rarely, more severe side effects like blistering or changes in skin color can occur, but these are usually avoidable with proper aftercare and treatment by a qualified provider.
Can I shave between sessions?
Yes, you can shave between Laser Hair Removal sessions, and it’s often recommended. Shaving helps keep the treatment area smooth and allows the laser to target the hair follicles more effectively. However, avoid waxing or plucking, as these methods remove the hair root, which is necessary for the laser to work effectively.

Laser Tattoo Removal
Frequently Asked Questions
Is tattoo removal painful?
Tattoo removal can cause some discomfort, often described as a snapping sensation against the skin. However, most patients find the procedure tolerable. Numbing creams or cooling devices can be used to minimize pain during the treatment. The level of discomfort may vary depending on the location and size of the tattoo, as well as individual pain tolerance.
How many sessions are needed for complete removal?
The number of sessions required for complete tattoo removal depends on several factors, including the size, color, and depth of the tattoo, as well as the patient's skin type. On average, multiple sessions are necessary, spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and the body to eliminate the ink particles. A consultation can provide a more accurate estimate.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects of tattoo removal are generally mild and may include sensitivity or mild pain, redness, swelling, and temporary changes in skin pigmentation. These effects typically subside within a few days to a week. In rare cases, blistering or scarring may occur. Following aftercare instructions provided by the practitioner can help minimize these risks.
Can all tattoo colors be removed?
While most tattoo colors can be effectively removed, some colors may be more challenging than others. Black and dark blue inks respond well to laser treatment, while lighter colors like green, yellow, and red may require more sessions or specialized wavelengths. A consultation with a tattoo removal expert can determine the best approach for your specific tattoo.
How It Works: The Alma Harmony Laser emits precise wavelengths of light that penetrate the toenail and surrounding tissue to target the fungus deep below the surface. The energy from the laser disrupts the fungal cells, effectively eliminating the infection while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. The laser also stimulates blood flow, helping to accelerate the healing process and promote the growth of healthy, clear nails.
Laser Toe Fungus Removal
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key benefits?
It is non-invasive, meaning no needles, surgery, or downtime. It is generally pain-free, though you may feel a warm, tingling sensation. It is a quick treatment, usually taking 10-15 minutes. There are minimal risks and side effects, allowing patients to resume to daily activities immediately.
How many Alma Harmony Laser treatments are required?
The number of treatments required varies depending on the severity of the fungal infection. Generally, 8 treatments are recommended, spaced 2 weeks apart.
How long does it take to see results?
Results are not immediate. The fungus is treated during the laser session, but the infected nail will need time to grow out. You should start to see improvements in the appearance of the nail after about 3 to 6 months, as the new, healthy nail grows in.
Can toenail fungus return after treatment?
While Alma Harmony Laser is effective at killing the fungus, it is possible for the infection to recur if you are exposed to the fungus again. Maintaining good foot hygiene, wearing breathable shoes, and keeping your feet dry can help reduce the risk of reinfection.
