Is laser hair removal painful?
With our Alma Soprano Titanium, most clients describe it as a warm sensation — not painful. The SHR technology uses gradual heating instead of intense pulses, making it one of the most comfortable laser systems available. Many clients say it's far more comfortable than waxing.

How many sessions do I need?
Most clients see optimal results after 6-8 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles, and the laser only targets hair in its active growth phase — so multiple sessions ensure we catch all the follicles. Everyone is different, and factors like hair type, area, and hormones can affect your timeline.

Does laser hair removal work on all skin tones?
Yes! Our Soprano Titanium is clinically validated for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI). Older laser technology wasn't safe for darker skin tones, but this has changed. If you've been told laser isn't for you in the past, come see us for a consultation.

Can you laser blonde, red, or fine hair?
Our triple-wavelength technology can target finer and lighter hair better than older systems. While laser works best on darker, coarser hair (more pigment = more for the laser to target), many clients with lighter hair still see significant reduction. We'll assess your hair type at your consultation and give you realistic expectations.

Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser provides permanent hair reduction, not removal. Most clients see 80-90% less hair after completing their sessions. Any hair that does grow back is typically finer and lighter. You may need occasional maintenance sessions (once or twice a year) to keep things smooth.

How long does a treatment take?
Way faster than you'd think. Underarms: 5-10 minutes. Upper lip: under 5 minutes. Full legs: about 15-20 minutes. Full back: 10-15 minutes. Our laser's in-motion technique means we're not doing pulse-by-pulse treatments — it's a continuous glide.

What's the difference between laser and IPL?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses broad-spectrum light, while laser uses a focused, single wavelength. Laser is more precise, more effective, and works on more skin tones. Many at-home devices use IPL, which is why salon-grade laser delivers better, faster results.

Can men get laser hair removal?
Absolutely. We treat men every week — backs, chests, necks, shoulders, and more. Laser isn't just for women, and our studio is comfortable and judgment-free for everyone. Let's be honest: shaving your own back is basically impossible anyway.

How much does laser hair removal cost in Kamloops?

What can I expect after treatment?
Your skin might be slightly pink or warm for a few hours — like a mild sunburn. Over the next 1-2 weeks, treated hair will shed naturally. You can shave between sessions, but don't wax or pluck. Most people return to normal activities immediately.
