You're first appointment is about you. We take time to learn about your skin, hair, growth, goals and concerns. Hair grows in different cycles, so multiple treatments are needed and consistency matters. We will answer any questions and make sure you feel comfortable with the process.

This is all dependent on the area to be treated and what the follicle depth and cycle is. Areas that grow more frequently and are deeper and denser require treatment every 4-6 weeks, these areas include: Face, Neck, Nape, Bikini, Brazilian, Buttocks, and Underarms. Other areas that don’t grow back as quickly and the follicle depth is shallow, treatment is recommended every 8-10 weeks, these areas include: Legs, Arms, Chest, Abdomen, Back, and Shoulders.

1) Area must be shaved 24 hours prior to your appointment, the closer the shave the better. --Laser is NOT effective on hair that is not fully shaven down to the skin. 2) We can NOT and will NOT shave your Bikini / Brazilian area, so take your time shaving at home. It is your responsibility. 3) No makeup/lotion/deodorant on the day of your appointment (on treatment area). 4) Stay out of direct sunlight for at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment (and 2 weeks after). 5) Do not use self-tanner or spray tan products for your treatment to avoid potential injury. 6) Avoid waxing/threading/tweezing in the area. Shaving is ok!

Hair does not fall out immediately, but you will shed them over a period of weeks. This may look like continued hair growth. Repeated and consistent treatments are necessary because hair growth and loss naturally occur in a cycle, and laser treatment works best with hair follicles in the continual Anagen growth stage

Once the full treatment is complete, some hair will never grow back. However, laser hair removal is FDA approved as permanent hair reduction, so some hair may need intermittent treatment every year or so, depending on your hair regrowth. Any hair that does grow back will be finer and grow slower than before your laser treatment. These hairs can be successfully retargeted again.

Some patients may be concerned because not all hairs within the treatment region were shed following the treatment. It is crucial to remember that every hair follicle may not be on the same growth cycle as the hairs surrounding it. The laser can only kill hair during the anagen stage. Therefore, you will only see certain areas shed and experience patchiness throughout sessions.

Multiple treatment sessions of laser hair removal are needed as each individual hair follicle goes through its own growth cycle. Hair growth occurs in a cycle and the laser is only effective on hairs in the Anagen stage.

For optimal results, at least 6-8 sessions are recommended for permanent hair reduction. However, this can vary from person to person as everyone’s hair grows at a different rate. Factors such as: age, ethnicity, and hormones, can also affect your hair growth rate. As well as the area being treated as the size and density of hair also affects how many sessions are needed to effectively remove unwanted body hair.

Most patients experience only mild discomfort. A local anesthetic cream can be applied to the skin prior to the treatment for a more comfortable experience. Many fillers are also formulated with lidocaine to help minimize discomfort.

Dermal fillers are biocompatible, injectable substances that create lift, add volume, and restore a more youthful appearance to certain areas of the face that show signs of aging. Biocompatible means that the substance is not harmful to living tissue.

The most common fillers are made of a soft gel consisting of non-animal hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that naturally occurs in the human body, and it is found in our skin. It helps hydrate and adds volume to the skin. It is naturally broken down by our own bodies. Dermal fillers consisting of hyaluronic acid include Restylane, Juvederm, Voluma, and Belotero.

As we age, we lose volume in key areas of the face. This contributes to folds, wrinkles, hollow temples, thinning lips, sunken eyes, and an older appearance to the face. Fillers can be used to restore this volume loss, smooth out folds and wrinkles, and improve contours to achieve natural results without altering facial expression.

The effects are long-lasting but not permanent. They last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on a number of factors including the patient’s age, the area treated, type of filler used, the quantity of filler used, and lifestyle.

In general, dermal fillers are considered very safe. The most common reactions are redness, swelling, bruising, itching, and tenderness. These are typically mild and resolve spontaneously in 1-7 days for most patients. Serious side effects are rare.

The choice of filler depends on the individual patient, their treatment goals, and personal facial anatomy. Schedule a Free Consultation with Vadim Medical and get the answers you’re looking for

When fillers are used in the appropriate amount and placed in the right location, the result is a beautiful, natural, youthful outcome. Fillers are not meant to create totally different features. In the hands of an experienced provider that has extensive knowledge of facial anatomy, the outcome simply enhances your natural facial features.

You can go right back to your normal routine. However, it is not uncommon to experience some bruising or swelling, so it is best not to schedule a filler appointment right before any important event.
