Sava Spa – Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

Is laser hair removal painful?

Most clients describe the feeling as a mild warmth or light snap. Our diode laser system has a built-in cooling feature, making treatments virtually painless.

How many sessions do I need?

Most clients need 6 to 8 sessions to see optimal results. The exact number depends on your skin type, hair color, and the area being treated.

How far apart are the treatments?

Sessions are spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to target hair in different growth cycles.

Is laser hair removal safe for all skin types?

Yes. Our laser has three wavelengths, making it effective for all skin tones and hair types.

Can I get laser hair removal if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

While there are no proven risks, we recommend waiting until after pregnancy and breastfeeding as a precaution.
