Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Half Arms 1 Session.

This single-session treatment treats either the upper half (shoulder to elbow) or lower half (elbow to wrist) of one arm. The focused laser reduces hair growth and smooths skin with minimal downtime.

Most appointments last about 15 to 30 minutes, including consultation, preparation, and the laser pass. Exact time varies by whether the upper or lower half arm is treated and if numbing or extra prep is needed.

Discomfort is usually mild and often compared to snaps of a rubber band. We offer topical numbing creams and cooling devices to enhance comfort, and technicians adjust settings for your skin type and tolerance.

A single session gives temporary reduction and smoother skin, but optimal long-term results typically require a series. Most clients complete six to eight sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart for significant, lasting reduction.

Avoid sun exposure and tanning for two weeks prior, and do not wax or pluck. Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your visit and inform us of medications or recent topical treatments to ensure safe laser settings.

Expect mild redness or swelling for a few hours to days. Use gentle cleansers, apply sunscreen, and avoid hot baths, saunas, or strenuous exercise for 48 hours. Contact us if irritation persists or you have concerns.
