Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about KNEES - SINGLE SESSION.

Most clients report only mild, short-lived discomfort described as snapping or warming sensations. We use cooling and adjustable settings; topical numbing is available on request. Any redness typically subsides within a few hours to a day with basic aftercare.

A single session reduces visible hair but a professional series of 6–8 treatments spaced four to eight weeks apart is commonly recommended for reliable permanent reduction. Hair type, hormones, and skin tone affect total sessions; consult for a personalized plan.

Knee-only sessions are brief—typically 10–20 minutes including consultation and prep. Treatment time varies with hair density and area size; expect a concise appointment that fits into a lunch break or quick self-care routine.

Temporary redness, mild swelling, or pinpoint redness are common and resolve within days. Rarely pigment changes or blistering occur, usually when post-care is neglected. Our technicians minimize risks with patch testing and tailored settings.

Avoid waxing, plucking, or electrolysis for four to six weeks before your appointment. Shaving is recommended 24 hours prior so the laser targets the follicle without burning surface hair. Follow pre-visit instructions for safest results.

Modern FDA-cleared lasers at DOLLFACE are effective for many skin tones, but certain devices and settings are safer for darker skin. We perform a consultation and patch test to choose the ideal laser and minimize risk.
