General Treatment Questions
How is a consultation structured at Godiva?
Every treatment begins with a detailed skin assessment. We evaluate your goals, skin condition, history, and tolerance before recommending a personalized multi-modal plan.
Are treatments customized for each client?
Yes. No two skin journeys are identical. Energy settings, timing, and treatment combinations are adjusted based on your skin profile and long-term correction goals.
Laser Hair Removal
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients require 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles, and proper timing is what creates effective long-term reduction.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal provides permanent reduction. Some maintenance sessions may be recommended over time depending on hormonal changes.
Skin Resurfacing & Correction
What is downtime like for resurfacing treatments?
Downtime depends on treatment intensity. Mild resurfacing may involve temporary redness, while deeper sessions may require additional healing time. Your plan will always reflect your lifestyle and recovery preferences.
How long do resurfacing results last?
With proper skincare and sun protection, resurfacing improvements can last several years. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to preserve clarity and texture.
Safety & Side Effects
Is laser treatment safe for all skin types?
Advanced adjustable systems allow safe treatment across a wide range of skin tones when performed with proper assessment and technique.
Are side effects common?
Temporary redness or mild swelling may occur. Serious complications are rare when proper protocols and aftercare are followed.
Aftercare
Post-Treatment Protocol
Protecting your results is part of the treatment itself.
Because we use a multi-modal approach, aftercare may vary slightly depending on the technologies and skincare layering used in your session. Your personalized instructions will reflect your treatment intensity and correction goals.
Skin Protection
Daily SPF 30+ protects pigment stability and supports collagen remodeling.
Barrier Support
Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers and restorative moisturizers. Avoid aggressive exfoliation unless advised.
Strategic Timing
Follow your prescribed session spacing to maintain momentum and support progressive improvement.
Heat & Inflammation Control
Avoid saunas, hot showers, and intense workouts for 24–48 hours to minimize inflammation.
Progress Monitoring
Monitor your skin response and contact us if anything feels unusual.
Hydration & Repair
Hydrated skin heals more efficiently — support your barrier internally and topically.
