Most clients report mild discomfort described as snapping rubber band sensations. We use cooling systems and adjustable settings to minimize pain. Topical numbing can be applied if needed. Patch test helps gauge sensitivity and guides comfort measures for your treatment plan.

Typically 6-8 sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart are recommended, depending on hair thickness, growth cycle and skin type. Hands and fingers often need fewer sessions, and the patch test helps determine a personalised schedule for optimal, lasting reduction.

When performed by trained professionals with appropriate lasers and a patch test, damage risk is low. Temporary redness or mild irritation can occur. We customise settings for skin tone and hair to protect skin and promote safe, effective results.

Avoid sun exposure, tanning products and waxing for at least 4 weeks. Shave the area 24–48 hours before your appointment. Bring concerns about medications or skin conditions to your consultation; the patch test will confirm suitability.

Lasers target pigment, so pale, blonde or grey hair responds poorly. We assess hair colour during the patch test and may recommend alternative options like electrolysis for lighter hair to achieve permanent reduction when laser is ineffective.

Keep the area cool and clean, avoid hot baths, saunas and sun exposure for 48–72 hours. Use gentle moisturiser and sunscreen. Expect temporary redness; avoid picking or exfoliating aggressively. Follow scheduled sessions and report any unusual reactions promptly.
