At Fresh Start MedSpa, we believe in keeping it real about your treatment journey. With Barbara’s 12+ years of laser expertise, consider this your insider’s guide to all things laser!

So… How Many Sessions Will I “Actually” Need?

Let’s face it—we all want the magic one-and-done treatment. But just like you can’t get rock-hard abs from one workout (if only!), most laser treatments require a series of sessions for optimal results. Let’s break it down by treatment type:

Those Pesky Spider Veins Be Gone!

Vascular lesions are like unwanted houseguests—some leave quickly, others need a little more convincing:

Small red vessels (Thread Veins): The overachievers of the vein world! These typically vanish after just 1-3 sessions. Quick and satisfying!

Larger veins and spider networks: These stubborn squatters require more persistence. Several sessions may be necessary, but trust us—Barbara’s seen some pretty stubborn networks disappear with patience and consistent treatment.

Treatment time varies based on size, location, and your unique skin type. Barbara’s eagle eye will assess exactly what you need during your consultation.

Saying Goodbye to Unwanted Hair

Tired of the endless shave-wax-pluck cycle? Here’s the smooth truth about laser hair removal:

Most patients complete their hair removal journey in 2-6 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

If you have a deeper skin tone, you might need a few extra sessions—but don’t worry! Barbara specializes in treating ALL skin types safely and effectively.

Remember: hair grows in cycles, so we need to catch those follicles at the right moment. It’s like playing whack-a-mole, but way more satisfying and with permanent results!

Tattoo Regrets? We’ve Got You!

That tribal armband seemed like a great idea in 2003, but now? Not so much. Tattoo removal is a marathon, not a sprint:

Expect anywhere from 5-20 sessions, spaced at least 7 weeks apart.

The number of treatments depends on several factors:

               Color (blues and greens are the drama queens of the tattoo world)              

How deep the ink was placed

              How old your tattoo is (older ones can be easier!)

               Your immune system’s efficiency

Remember: your skin is unique, and your treatment plan will be too. During your consultation, Barbara will create a personalized roadmap to your skin goals, with realistic timelines and expectations.
