What is a patch test?

A general inspection of your skin will take place and then a small area will be exposed to the laser light. In addition to ensuring no adverse reactions occur, this also provides us with the opportunity to tailor the machine’s settings to your personal requirements.

Am I suitable for laser hair removal?

Lasers target pigment so as long as your hair is not white or grey then you are a suitable candidate for laser hair removal. However, the Red hair would require more treatments than other hair colours

How often will I need treatment?

You must have around 6 to 8 treatments to get the optimum benefit. Facial laser hair treatments can be every 3 – 6 weeks and body laser hair removal treatments also performed every 3 – 6 weeks.

Are there any side-effects?

For most people with a very sensitive skin the only side-effect reported is a mild rash that may last 30 – 60 minutes.

How should I prepare before a treatment?

Avoid any other hair removal methods such as waxing, threading or hair removal creams for 4 weeks prior the treatment. Laser Hair removal may not be done if the skin is sunburned, therefore limit sun exposure prior to treatment.

What about aftercare?

Avoid sun exposure for 5 – 7 days. Exfoliation must be done 7 – 10 days after treatment. This is to take place twice a week on the treated area to remove dead skin cells. The reason for this is to enable the dead hair to fall out from underneath the dead skin cells.
