FAQs:

Q How many sessions are required ?

A Multiple treatments are needed (between 6 and 12 ) because only the hair in the active growth phase – the Anagen phase – can be affected by the laser. Time is needed for hairs in the Catagen and Telogen phases to move into the Anagen phase. Effective results require treatments spread evenly and consistently, from four to eight weeks, depending on the area. After you have completed your initial course of 6 treatments, if you require additional sessions they are charged at half price

A: If you have keloid scars, or a predisposition to keloid scarring, we would assess the areas to be treated on a case by case basis.

Pre treatment Advice:

> For laser hair removal to be effective, the hair needs to be present in the follicle. This means waxing, threading and tweezing must be avoided before the treatment. You’ll also need to avoid bleaching your hair as the laser needs pigmented follicles to target.

> You can shave in between treatments but remember that the treated hair will start to fall out of its own accord 1-2 weeks after your first treatment.

> Do not bleach your hair as there’s no pigment in bleached hair for the laser to target.

> If your skin has been exposed to the sun within 4 weeks before your treatment, let your practitioner know prior to your treatment.

> We can’t treat anyone with a tan – real or fake. If you’re tanned, please contact your clinic at least 48 hours prior to your next appointment to seek advice on how you should proceed.

> You must stop any acid based products such as Retinol, Glycolic and Salicylic at least 1-2 weeks before each treatment.

> If you have been prescribed or are taking any new medications or herbal supplements, or if anything medically changes let your practitioner know prior to your treatment.
