Ask Us! Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Choosing the right skin treatment is a big decision. Whether you're curious about the 'magic' of HIFU or wondering how to prep for your first laser session, we’ve gathered the answers to our most common questions right here. Knowledge is the first step to confidence!
How long does laser hair removal take?
Laser hair removal sessions typically last 15-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Most clients need 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Our Kamloops skincare centre uses advanced technology for safe, effective hair removal on all skin types.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal provides a significant, long-lasting reduction in hair growth. Our advanced technology targets the hair follicle during its active growth phase to prevent future regrowth.
- Expected Results: Most clients see an 80–90% permanent reduction in hair after a full series of treatments.
- The Process: To achieve optimal results, we typically recommend 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
- Maintenance: While the reduction is long-term, some clients may see occasional fine, light hair return over time. A quick maintenance session once or twice a year will keep your skin silky smooth.
Does microneedling hurt?
Microneedling causes minimal discomfort. We apply a numbing cream before treatment to ensure you're comfortable. Most clients describe a light tingling sensation. This skin treatment is highly effective for reducing acne scars, fine lines, and improving texture.
What is microblading, and how long do the results last?
Microblading is a semi-permanent technique where a specialized hand tool is used to create ultra-fine, hair-like strokes that mimic real brow hair. It’s the perfect solution for anyone wanting fuller, natural-looking brows without the daily effort of makeup.
- Longevity: Results typically last 12 to 18 months.
- Maintenance: We recommend an annual touch-up to keep the shape crisp and the color vibrant.
Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?
Yes, you can apply makeup immediately after dermaplaning, though we recommend waiting 24 hours for best results. This gentle exfoliation treatment removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz, leaving your face incredibly smooth. Your makeup will actually apply more flawlessly after dermaplaning since there's no barrier of dead skin or fine hair. However, your skin may be slightly pink immediately following treatment. We suggest using mineral-based makeup and sunscreen to protect your newly revealed skin at our Kamloops clinic.
Should I expect during a HIFU treatment?
HIFU is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that takes 30-90 minutes. You may feel warmth and tingling as ultrasound energy stimulates collagen production. There's no downtime, making it perfect for busy schedules.
Do you offer facials for sensitive skin? Yes! We customize our facials based on your skin type and concerns, including sensitive skin, acne, aging, and dehydration.
Is threading better than waxing for eyebrows?
Threading offers several advantages over waxing for eyebrow shaping and facial hair removal. This ancient technique uses twisted cotton thread to remove hair from the follicle, providing precise control for perfectly shaped brows. Threading is gentler on sensitive skin, doesn't use chemicals or heat, and creates less irritation than waxing. It's ideal for those with sensitive skin or who use retinol products. Our skilled technicians at Mantra Beauty & Esthetic can shape brows and remove unwanted facial hair with exceptional precision.
