YOUR VISIT, EXPLAINED
A clear plan. Personal care.
01 Talk through your priorities.
Share your goals, health history, medicines and recent treatments. Ask what the proposed option can realistically offer you.
02 Know what to expect.
The team assesses skin and hair, explains preparation and protective eyewear, and discusses the sensation and plan. Ask whether to shave and when; do not assume waxing or plucking is appropriate before a laser visit.
03 Leave with clear guidance.
Follow instructions about sun exposure, skin products and soothing the area. Redness or swelling can occur; burns, pigment changes and scarring are possible. Seek advice about blistering, persistent pain or a concerning reaction.
Skin type, explained.
The Fitzpatrick scale describes how skin typically responds to sunlight. It is a starting point for a consultation, not a colour-matching test or a treatment decision. Your provider must assess your skin, hair and the device. Skin of every shade needs sun protection.

What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal uses a laser to target pigment in hair follicles. Hair grows in cycles, so a course of visits is commonly needed. At your consultation, ask which areas can be treated and whether the laser suits your skin and hair.
Which areas can be discussed?
Discuss the areas you would like treated. The team can explain which options are suitable for your skin tone, hair colour and treatment goals.
What might it offer?
The aim is longer-term reduction of unwanted hair. Regrowth and maintenance needs vary. Gray, white, very light or red hair may respond poorly because the treatment depends on pigment.
What are the limits?
It is not a promise of permanent removal of every hair or a painless experience. Session count, intervals and results depend on the area, hair, skin and device.
What should I discuss first?
Discuss recent tanning, medicines, skin conditions, scarring history and past reactions. Ask about the provider’s experience with your skin tone and the exact laser being used.
What is included in the price?
Ask for current pricing by treatment area. Ask which area or product is included, whether a course is suggested, the total cost and the current booking terms.
