The number of sessions needed for effective results with laser hair removal varies depending on factors such as hair color, skin type, and the area being treated. Typically, multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart are required to target hair follicles in different growth phases and achieve optimal results.
Laser hair removal is generally safe for most skin types and hair colors. However, it may be less effective on very light or grey hair, as the laser targets pigment in the hair follicle. People with darker skin tones may require special consideration and specific types of lasers to avoid potential skin damage.
During a laser hair removal session, you may experience a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin, along with mild discomfort and redness in the treated area. After the session, the skin may appear slightly irritated, but this typically subsides within a few hours to a few days. It’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your technician to minimize any potential side effects and optimize results.
To hold a reservation for any service, you must provide a valid credit card. Your credit card will hold your time with the practitioners or service so that another booking is not put in its place. This applies even if you intend to pay with a gift certificate. Alive and Well will not charge your card unless you fail to arrive for your appointment or do not cancel within the appropriate period of time.
Acupuncture is a type of traditional Chinese medicine that’s been around for about 2,500 years. It’s used to support wellness and improve overall mental and physical well-being. The acupuncturist places needles into specific points on the skin to help activate an energy in the body, called qi. According to traditional Chinese medicine, qi is the lifeforce energy in the body — it helps regulate and move things in the body to keep us well. Stress, environmental factors, lifestyle behaviors, and genetics are some of the things that can block qi in the body. The needles help to unblock or move qi to other areas in the body to help support wellness.
Acupuncture needles are solid, stainless steel needles that are usually not much larger than a strand of hair. Acupuncture needles are placed at a very shallow depth and go between tissues, making them less painful than a typical injection.
You might be more sensitive in certain areas, but acupuncture shouldn’t hurt. If you feel pain, tell your acupuncturist. They’ll adjust the needles or choose other points. Their goal is not to make you feel pain. They do a lot of work to position you properly and make sure you feel comfortable.
Indeed you can do acupuncture or massage while pregnant. It is safe and our practitioners are very well versed in how to treat pregnant women. Please let us know when you book a treatment if you are pregnant and how far along you are.
