Frequently Asked Questions

There are some side effects of the Q-Switch machine. Not only will you notice redness in the skin, but you may also notice the tone of your skin brighten or darken, albeit temporarily. You shouldn’t notice any permanent scarring, as our providers are highly trained in operating the Q-Switch for tattoo removal in Rogers, AR. The goal is not to replace your tattoo with another permanent skin blemish. You’re removing your tattoo because you want to see clear skin again, and that’s precisely our goal. If you’re worried about any long-term effects from the Q-Switch, let your provider know.

You likely won’t need to wait long to see the results after your first Splendor X session.

Some patients see hair beginning to fall off in just 1 to 2 weeks following their first treatment. And that’s only the beginning. While you can see hair removal results after a single treatment, most people want more substantial hair removal effects, which is why we recommend multiple treatments.

Be sure to speak openly with your provider about your treatment goals and tell them what kind of results you’re looking for. When we understand your goals, we can help you reach them!

We love the Splendor X device for laser hair removal in Rogers, AR because it can treat so many unique patients. We think everyone should experience the luxury of smooth, bare skin. Our providers can adjust the wavelengths of the Splendor X laser, so it can safely treat multiple skin tones.

Many laser hair removal treatments can’t effectively treat dark or tanned skin, but the Splendor X can! So if your skin tone has prevented you from receiving laser hair removal care at other clinics, come sit down with our providers for a consultation at Renew Aesthetics. We can help you get the skin you’ve always wanted with a Splendor X session.

The length of your laser hair removal procedure may vary depending on your current condition and treatment goals. At most, a laser hair removal treatment should take about an hour, but it can be as short as 10 minutes. So you can even schedule treatment over your lunch break from work.

Variation in treatment lengths mainly stems from your desired treatment area. Some patients want to treat multiple body parts, so their body, legs, arms, and face are all free of unwanted hair. Others may only want to treat a single area, like their neck and chin. And even single treatment areas vary in size. Whatever your goals, we can accommodate them at Renew Aesthetics.

Laser hair removal treatment doesn’t require extensive preparation, but there are some steps you can take to ensure the process provides you with lasting, high-quality results. 

For a couple weeks before your procedure, it’s important to stay out of direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time (this is also good general advice for anyone who wants to take care of their skin).

You should also avoid tanning beds. Even artificially tanned skin can make laser hair removal less effective, because Splendor X targets hair by distinguishing the differences in color between your skin and your hair follicles. You should also shave the treatment area 2 or 3 days prior to your procedure. If the hair is too long, then the treatment will not work as intended.

You may need multiple Splendor X treatments to see the results you’re after. Most patients schedule 4 to 8 treatments, but you may need more or less, depending on your goals and the texture and color of your hair. 

You also need to wait 4 to 6 weeks between treatments for the best possible results. We do this so your hair can reenter the growth phase, the only phase of the hair growth cycle where laser hair removal can effectively destroy the follicle. By spacing treatments on that timeline, the device can target each hair effectively through those phases.

Patients meet with a specialist for laser hair removal in Rogers, AR to remove hair in bikini areas. If you want a Brazilian laser hair removal treatment, then the Splendor X can provide your desired results. Shaving in sensitive areas can be stressful, and waxing can be painful.

The Splendor X can help destroy hair follicles in private places, so you can be smooth everywhere. And you won’t need to worry about any excess pain in your sensitive areas. As a relatively comfortable laser hair removal device, the Splendor X can help you feel fresh from head to toe, without significant discomfort.

Many people explore laser hair removal in Rogers, AR because they want to get rid of hair on the face. If you’re tired of shaving your neck or your upper lip, then laser hair removal is perfect for your aesthetic goals. But unwanted hair can appear all over the body.

Fortunately, laser hair removal is safe to use for a wide selection of treatment areas. From your legs to your chest to your arms to your chin, laser hair removal is the best option for eliminating unwanted hair.

No, you’ll have treatment settings unique to you and your goals. One advantage of the Splendor X laser hair removal treatment is the customizable settings.

Splendor X can safely treat a variety of different skin tones, and we can adjust the light wavelength to fit your specific needs and individual characteristics. That said, the actual process stays very similar from patient to patient.

We’ll check you in, bring you back to the treatment room, and pass the laser hair removal device over the treatment area. After your treatment is complete, you can leave the office and resume your usual routine.

Because laser hair removal treatment uses light turned into heat to destroy hair follicles, some patients assume the process is incredibly painful. You will notice some discomfort during the procedure, but it shouldn’t be so intense that you need to stop treatment.

Most patients compare the sensation of laser hair removal to the feeling of a rubber band snapping against the skin. We operate the device in short bursts, so you won’t feel any prolonged pain or irritation. At Renew Aesthetics, we want you to enjoy your treatment as much as possible.

Laser hair removal in Rogers, AR is not a permanent procedure. While you can expect to see noticeable hair reduction results following a treatment with the Splendor X, the hair will regrow eventually. The length of treatment results varies from patient to patient.

Most of our patients see their laser hair removal results last for months at a time. When your hair does eventually regrow, it will regrow lighter in color and finer in texture. This makes future laser hair removal sessions easier. If you notice hair regrowing, you can schedule a maintenance treatment with our team.

You may notice some mild side effects following your laser hair removal treatment. The most common are redness, swelling, or discoloration in the treatment area, but don’t worry—these usually disappear within a few days.

Some patients also experience pain after their laser hair removal treatment. If you feel any severe pain, or notice any blisters or signs of infection in the treatment area, be sure to reach out to your provider. We want to make sure that you feel comfortable through recovery after your treatment with our team.

The best way to care for your skin following laser hair removal treatment is to leave your skin alone! Some people feel compelled to tweeze, wax, or shave their hair in the days after a session, but that can negatively affect your skin health.

You should also refrain from applying harsh skincare products, such as scented lotions or self-tanners. Hold off on exfoliating scrubs for 2 to 3 days. If you received laser hair removal on your underarms, then avoid wearing deodorant while you heal. 

Finally, avoid direct sun, and wear a sunscreen of at least 30 SPF, as your skin is more sensitive to sun damage during the healing process.

There are many devices on the market for laser hair removal, but at Renew Aesthetics, we prefer the Splendor X. One major advantage of this treatment device is how customizable it is. We can personalize the treatment to fit your needs.

Patients also consistently find their laser hair removal results impressive. The Splendor X can clear large treatment areas of hair, so you don’t have to worry about cutting, waxing, or shaving it yourself. You can enjoy the aesthetic benefits of smooth skin—without the work of regular maintenance and upkeep.

If your tattoo needs another treatment with our Q-Switch device, then our provider will let you know. They’ll also help you schedule a follow-up procedure immediately after your initial session is complete.

Yes, we are a division of Ozark Regional Vein Center, supervised by Dr. Kevin Haney and three advanced practice registered nurses.

While the Q-Switch will not leave you stuck in a hospital bed recovering, you will need to take some steps to ensure that your skin heals as effectively as possible. We don’t want your skin to become damaged or infected. Following the procedure, the treated skin will be raw and red. It may even blister, depending on the specific qualities of your skin. We will recommend methods you can take to soothe irritated skin, including using ointments like aloe vera. We will also suggest that you keep the treatment area bandaged and out of direct sun exposure. Further instructions will be provided based on your specific skin needs.

As with many parts of the Renew Aesthetics process, this depends on you, the patient. During your consultation, we won’t just ask you about your goals for treatment. We’ll also take a look at your skin’s condition and your tattoo itself. This will give us a better idea of how you can prepare for the tattoo removal process. You will need to stop taking any blood thinners, and you will need to keep your skin protected from the sun prior to the removal. After your treatment is scheduled, we will give you detailed pre-treatment instructions to help you get ready for your Q-Switch session.

One of the reasons that we love the Q-Switch for tattoo removal in Rogers, AR, is because of its versatility. While some tattoo removal machines are resigned to certain skin tones, the Q-Switch is able to handle a variety of them. You shouldn’t have to be limited by your skin tone. We believe that everyone deserves smooth, unblemished skin. It is important to note, however, that the Q-Switch should only be used for black ink removal. An extremely colorful tattoo is not the right fit for the Q-Switch. If you feel that this procedure is the right choice for you, come see us, and we can complete a consultation and schedule your first Q-Switch session.

It is impossible to predict how many treatments you’ll need without meeting with you in person. We will never give you more treatments than is absolutely necessary, but we can’t promise that this will be a one-and-done procedure. The number of treatments you’ll need will depend entirely on the specifics of your tattoo. If you have a large sleeve, then it will certainly take much longer than someone with a single, small tattoo. We will, however, be sure to keep you updated during the process, so you never feel out of the loop.

This is probably one of the most common questions that we hear about the Q-Switch process, which is understandable. Tattoo removal lasers have somewhat of an intense reputation, but we always do everything we can to keep you comfortable during every single one of our treatments. You will certainly feel some discomfort during the process. A little discomfort is unavoidable, but if it ever becomes unmanageable, please let us know. We want to be sure that you communicate with us throughout the process. This way, we can make any necessary adjustments.

If you’ve yet to complete a virtual or in-person consultation, how can you be sure if you’re the right candidate for this treatment? While this isn’t a surgical procedure, you may be surprised at how apparent the results of the SmoothGlo treatment are. You should consider signing up for this treatment if your skin is looking more aged or damaged than you’d prefer. Your skin can be damaged as a result of a number of outside factors, including the sun and the wind. If you’re tired of putting up with wrinkled, damaged skin, then reach out to a member of our team and schedule a consultation for SmoothGlo in Rogers, AR, today.

SmoothGlo combines multiple treatments because no single procedure can do everything. As convenient as it would be, there’s no such thing as an all-in-one aesthetic treatment—some procedures are more effective than others. For instance, IPL is the best choice for anyone looking to even out the tone of their skin. Microneedling can help skin look healthier and younger, and triLift is the best option to tone facial muscles. But when all of these are combined in one session, you’re left with a procedure that truly offers the best of both worlds—or, in this case, the best of three worlds.
