What to expect
A special pair of glasses will be given to you to protect your eyes during the treatment. You will see bright flashes of light and feel a mild sensation of snapping elastic bands or stinging.
Following treatment, the skin can look irritated and possibly a little swollen, similarly to a sunburn, for approximately 4 -12 hours. We will advise you as to which aftercare products should be used to encourage healing.
Sunscreen MUST be worn after the procedure. After a few days, you may notice some brown spots similar to the color of coffee grounds on the skin. This is normal and will clear, leaving the skin clearer. Redness may take up to one month to disappear, which is why treatments are 4 weeks apart.

Excellent service delivered with professionalism and discretion. Highly recommend – Todd
Very professional, detailed and great prices. I had first generation laser hair removal done on my back about 10 years ago, it was time consuming, very painful with bad results and ended up never finishing. I decided to give it another try at Jessica’s and the treatment was so thorough, painless and quick and I got instant results. After about 6 treatments I’ve relatively hair free. Best prices I’ve found too! Highly recommend! – Jay
