Frequently Asked Questions
How does NU-U Laser Center work?
The Laser emits a beam of light that heats the target area (i.e., follicle or vein). The light energy damages the target, while sparing the surrounding skin. After a period of time, a reaction will occur (i.e., the follicle will exfoliate, or the blemish will slowly and naturally disappear).Can NU-U Laser Center treat any vein or skin-related condition in addition to hair removal?
In addition to treating unwanted hair, NU-U Laser Center treats small facial veins, bluish-purple leg veins, and spider veins.What about facial treatments?
The NU-U Laser Center treatment visibly reduces redness and age spots, and gently erases fine lines and wrinkles.How do I know if I'm a candidate?

Yes, including dark and tanned skin.Do I need to do anything special before a treatment?

Patients sometimes report a mild discomfort which can be quickly alleviated with a stream of cold air, which is used in conjunction with the laser.How many sessions will I need?

You may resume your normal skin care routine, although using a sunscreen is recommended.Note that for hair removal, the exfoliation will occur naturally in 7-14 days. During this time, you may shave if you wish, but plucking is discouraged. Your practitioner will review specific post-treatment instructions with you.
When will I see results?
Results vary with each case. With some conditions, one treatment may be sufficient, while others might require 2-6 treatments before results are noticeable.These questions are intended to provide general information. Your practitioner can provide additional treatment details.
