We typically recommend a minimum of 8 treatments for most areas. Some body parts respond faster, while others (like hormonal zones—chin, bikini, underarms) may need more. During your consultation, your laser specialist will customize a plan based on your skin, hair, and goals.
On a scale of 1–10 (with 10 being the worst), most POSHH clients rate it a 2–3. Some sensitive areas can feel like a 4–5, but treatments are fast and tolerable. Plus, our lasers include cooling technology that soothes the skin instantly. For extra comfort, numbing cream is available on request.
Yes. POSHH specializes in melanin-rich skin, and we use technology and protocols that are safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types. From light to deep skin tones, we’ve got you covered—literally.
We recommend appointments every 4–6 weeks, depending on the area and your hair growth cycle. Staying on schedule is key to hitting the hair during its active growth phase and seeing real results.
We use FDA-cleared, medical-grade lasers that are safe for all skin tones. While we don’t lead with machine names, we lead with results. Our focus is on protocol, safety, and proper technique — not fancy labels. Your glow is too important for guesswork.
Yes—but here's what to know:
• Shave 24–48 hours before your appointment
• Avoid waxing, tweezing, or threading between sessions—laser needs the root
• After treatment, wait 7–10 days before shaving again to avoid irritation
Most clients find that as hair becomes finer and sparser, they shave less frequently. We’ll guide you based on your progress.
Where do we start?
• Waxing can damage the skin and cause discoloration, especially for deeper skin tones
• It’s painful and temporary—you’ll be repeating it forever
• You have to grow hair out to wax (which can feel gross)
Laser, on the other hand:
✔️ Is melanin-safe at POSHH
✔️ Helps fade dark spots caused by ingrowns and trauma
✔️ Reduces hair long-term—no more biweekly appointments
✔️ Lets you shave between sessions
✔️ Is way more efficient over time
Laser hair removal is FDA-cleared for permanent hair reduction. That means you’ll see a major decrease in hair growth — less hair, finer texture, slower regrowth.
Some clients may need maintenance sessions once or twice a year depending on hormones or lifestyle changes. But for most, the days of daily shaving and monthly waxing? Gone.
Here’s how to glow into your first session:
• Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 2 weeks prior
• Shave the area 24–48 hours before your appointment
• Skip active skincare like retinol or acids on the area
• Don’t wax or tweeze before or during your treatment plan
• Wear loose, comfy clothing to your appointment
