Why Choose Donya Medical Spa for Laser Hair Removal
How does it work?
Laser hair removal operates by emitting highly concentrated light energy directly into the hair follicles. The melanin in the hair follicles absorbs the light, which is then transformed into heat. This heat effectively damages the hair follicle, rendering it unable to grow hair in the future. The surrounding skin remains unharmed, making it a safe and efficient method for hair removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of laser are you using?
We use the Cynosure Elite iQ™, an advanced laser hair removal device that combines Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers.
This dual-wavelength technology allows for precise targeting of hair follicles, making it effective for a wide range of skin types while ensuring minimal discomfort.
Is laser hair removal right for me?
Laser hair removal is generally suitable for most individuals. During your consultation, we’ll assess your unique needs and address any concerns to determine if it’s the right choice for you.
Does it hurt?
No, however, for some people the treatment may cause slight redness or swelling. If this discomfort persists, it is best to consult with your dermatologist to rule out any underlying skin conditions.
Does laser remove hair permanently?
Yes, laser hair removal with Venus Velocity™ can permanently remove the majority of hair. But, there is always a risk of hair growth returning in the future. This is due to the fact that laser pulses break down the hair follicle wall, allowing follicles to recolonize and grow hair again.
Laser hair removal is definitely the most effective treatment for hair removal available today.
Is there any age restrictions to get laser hair removal?
There are no age restrictions to get laser hair removal, as the technology used is very precise and will work on any skin type. In fact, many people over the age of 40 use this treatments as it works better than traditional shaving techniques for removing hair from these areas.
How long should I wait after getting tan?
After you’ve achieved a nice tan, it’s best to wait at least 2-3 weeks before getting laser hair removal treatment. During that time, avoid exposing your skin to the sun as much as possible. Make sure to cleanse and exfoliate your skin well before the treatment in order to reduce the chances of bruising.
I'm pregnant. Can I get laser hair removal?
Yes, pregnant women can definitely get laser hair removal. This treatment is generally safe and most clinics and doctor will use the least-invasive type of laser treatment possible. Before treatment, be sure to speak with your doctor to find out their specific guidelines for pregnant women. Some things to keep in mind before treatment include avoiding areas where skin can bruise or scar, sun protection during treatment, and wearing comfortable clothing.
How many treatments will it take before I start seeing results?
You may notice results after the first few treatments depending on the treatment you choose. Most laser hair removal treatments take around eight treatments to see permanent results, but some may need as many as twelve or more. For more intensive or extensive treatment plans, expect to require six or more sessions.
How long does it take to see results?
Results with laser hair removal usually take about four weeks for noticeable changes. The darker spots will lighten more rapidly the more treatments you undergo, but flat hair areas may take a little longer to see any changes.
Are there any risks associated with using a laser for hair removal?
There are a few risks associated with laser hair removal, but they’re generally considered to be quite low. The most common side effects include blush, swelling and blistering at the treated area. More serious side effects can include temporary problems with skin sensitivity to light, but they’re thankfully rare.
Make sure to consult your doctor before undergoing laser hair removal if you have a health condition or prior history of adverse reactions to medical procedures. That said, laser hair removal is a treatment that has been used for many years now without any reported side effects. So if you’re feeling motivated to take the plunge and give it a go, rest assured that there’s not really anything to worry about.
Can you use lasers to treat scars and stretch marks as well as remove unwanted hair?
Yes, lasers can be used to treat scars and stretch marks as well as remove hair. The wavelengths of the laser penetrate deep into the skin tissue to kill all the hair follicles while leaving your skin smooth.
How long does a session last for and how much time should I plan in between sessions?
A session lasts for about an hour, and you should plan in between sessions of four weeks. This will help your skin stay smooth and hairless for longer as you avoid irritation and breakouts. To keep your skin moisturized and smooth, consider using a topical cream or gel.
