Laser Hair Removal Process
Before commencing on your laser hair removal journey you need a compulsory consultation and patch test. This is a legal requirement and forms part of our registration with HIW. During this appointment a full medical history will be taken and discussed to ensure there are no reasons why you can’t proceed with your laser hair removal.
Discussing what laser is, how it works, how we perform the treatment on area/s, overall expectations, results, safety, aftercare and risks, pricing, what to expect after treatment and maintenance sessions. Giving advice on holidays tanning and shaving,and possible treatment intervals.
Once your laser specialist is happy you are suitable for treatment and you fully understand the process a few shots of the laser will be done in the area you wish to have treated.
You will be booked in after 48 hours for your first full treatment.
At your first full session a quick recap of consultation is given.
Specialised eyewear will be given and ice or cooling used on some patients depending on colouring of area and pain management. This is based on the laser expert Micheal Murphy Method.
Pre-cooling, during and post cooling is most commonly used on the Bikini and face. Skin types two and above, as these skin types are more prone to natural skin discolouration. The ice will reduce the heat felt by the patient whilst staying at the regular setting achieving a more consistent overall result.
