Brooklyn, NYBook a consultation

Before you book

Where is Ammonite Laser Spa located?+

We are at 1 Boerum Place, Suite 204 — Salon at JC, Brooklyn, NY, minutes from Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, DUMBO, and Downtown Brooklyn.

How do I book an appointment?+

Send an inquiry through the contact page, email ammonitelaserspa369@gmail.com, or call or text +1 718 813 2076. We confirm every request personally.

Do you offer consultations before treatment?+

Yes. Every first visit begins with a consultation where we map your skin type, goals, and history so your protocol is calibrated to you.

Are treatments safe for deeper skin tones?+

Our laser technology is calibrated per skin tone, and settings are adjusted at every visit. We will always tell you honestly if a treatment is not right for your skin.

How should I prepare in general?+

Arrive with clean skin, avoid sun and self-tanner for two weeks, and pause retinoids and exfoliating acids for a few days. Each treatment page lists its own prep steps.

What if I need to reschedule?+

Let us know at least 24 hours ahead by call, text, or email and we will move your appointment with no fuss.

Laser Hair Removal

View treatment
How many sessions will I need?+

Most areas need 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, because hair only responds while it is in its active growth phase.

Does it hurt?+

Most clients describe a warm snap. Cooling air runs throughout the session to keep the skin comfortable.

Is it safe for deeper skin tones?+

Yes. Settings are calibrated to your skin tone and hair type during consultation.

Can I shave between sessions?+

Yes — shaving is encouraged. Waxing, plucking, and threading are not, as they remove the follicle the laser targets.

Laser Rejuvenation

View treatment
Is there any downtime?+

None. Most clients return to their day immediately with only a light flush.

How often should I come?+

A series of 3–4 sessions, 4 weeks apart, then maintenance every 3–6 months.

Can I wear makeup after?+

Yes, after 12 hours — mineral makeup is gentlest on freshly treated skin.

Is it safe with melasma?+

Yes, with adjusted settings. We assess pigment depth at consultation first.

Laser Acne Treatment

View treatment
Will it make me break out first?+

A short purge in week one is common as congestion clears. It settles quickly.

How many sessions?+

Usually 4–6 sessions, 2–3 weeks apart, then maintenance as needed.

Can this replace my acne medication?+

It complements your routine. Never stop prescribed medication without your doctor.

Does it help acne scarring?+

It softens post-acne marks. For textured scarring we usually pair it with microneedling.

Laser Pigmentation Treatment

View treatment
Why do my spots look darker afterwards?+

That's the treated pigment rising to the surface. It flakes off naturally within 5–10 days.

Will the pigment come back?+

Sun exposure is the main trigger. Daily SPF 50 is what protects your result.

Is melasma treatable?+

It is manageable rather than curable. We use conservative settings and a maintenance plan.

How many sessions?+

Sun spots often clear in 1–3 sessions; melasma needs an ongoing series.

Microneedling

View treatment
Does it hurt?+

Topical numbing is applied for 20 minutes first; most clients feel light pressure and vibration only.

How soon can I wear makeup?+

After 24 hours, and mineral makeup is best for the first few days.

How many sessions for scarring?+

Typically 4–6 sessions, 4–6 weeks apart, for meaningful scar improvement.

Can I combine it with laser?+

Yes, on alternating visits. We'll build the sequence together.

Is it uncomfortable?+

It's cold but tolerable — most clients find it energizing rather than painful.

Is there downtime?+

None. You can go straight back to your day, including the gym.

How many sessions do I need?+

A series of 6–8, usually once or twice a week.

Is this the same as fat reduction?+

No. Cryo Tone firms and smooths; Cryo Sculpt targets stubborn fat pockets.

Cryo Sculpt

View treatment
When will I see results?+

Changes begin around week 4 and reach full effect at 8–12 weeks.

Is it a weight-loss treatment?+

No. It targets stubborn, diet-resistant pockets in people near their stable weight.

How many sessions per area?+

Many areas respond well to 1–2 sessions, spaced at least 6 weeks apart.

Is the numbness normal?+

Yes — temporary numbness or tenderness for up to 2 weeks is a common, expected response.

Buccal Face Therapy

View treatment
Does it hurt?+

It's deep work. Some points feel intense, but pressure is adjusted to you throughout.

Will it help my TMJ?+

Many clients report meaningful relief from jaw tension, though it isn't a medical treatment.

How often should I book?+

Once a month is a good rhythm; some clients start with a short weekly series.

Is it hygienic?+

Always. Fresh sterile gloves are used for every intra-oral session.
