We recommend eight sessions to achieve approximately 75–80% hair reduction. Sessions are typically spaced 4–8 weeks apart depending on hair cycle and individual response. Your technician will create a personalized plan after consultation; results vary by individual.

Most clients report only mild discomfort described as snaps or warmth. The Cutera Xeo 1064 YAG includes cooling to increase comfort. Topical numbing can be applied on request, and settings are adjusted for comfort during each session.

Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment and avoid waxing, plucking, or bleaching for several weeks. Skip tanning and self-tanners, and disclose medications or recent procedures. We provide a full pre-treatment checklist during consultation.

Most clients achieve roughly 75–80% permanent hair reduction after eight sessions, with visible thinning after early visits. Hair regrowth becomes finer and slower; occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended. Individual results depend on hair and hormonal factors.

Side effects are usually mild and temporary—redness, swelling, or slight pigment change. Rare risks include blistering or scarring if contraindications exist. Your consultation screens for risk factors and proper aftercare reduces complications. This does not replace medical care.

The 1064 YAG wavelength on the Cutera Xeo is well-suited for darker skin tones and reduces pigment risk when operated by trained clinicians. A consultation and test patch confirm safety and optimized settings before full treatment.
