During treatment you'll have a pre-check and cooling applied, then the laser pulses over both shoulders. Sessions typically take 15–30 minutes. Some stinging is normal; a prior patch test confirms skin reaction and helps set safe, effective settings.

Most clients need 6–8 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart, depending on hair thickness and growth cycle. We'll assess during your consultation and patch test, then recommend a personalized treatment plan to achieve long-term reduction.

Discomfort is usually minimal — often described as snapping or warm sensations. We use cooling and adjustable settings to maximize comfort. Numbing is rarely necessary; discuss concerns during consultation and your patch test to tailor treatment.

Ideal candidates have darker hair and lighter skin tones, though modern devices treat many skin types. You should be free of sunburn, not pregnant, and avoid recent tanning. A patch test confirms safety and suitability.

Avoid sun exposure, tanning products, and waxing for several weeks. Shave the area 24–48 hours before treatment if instructed. Bring medication details and follow pre-appointment guidelines provided when booking and at your patch test.

Keep treated skin clean, avoid sun exposure and heavy sweating for 48 hours, and apply soothing aloe or recommended creams. Do not wax or pluck; shaving is okay. Contact us if you notice unexpected reactions after the patch test.
