Who it's for
Ideal for anyone wanting to reduce or remove unwanted hair for the longer term, on the face or body, and to be free of regular shaving or waxing. Suitability is confirmed at a consultation and patch test, as results vary with hair and skin type.
Expected results
Progressive reduction in hair growth over a course of sessions, leaving skin smoother and easier to maintain. Occasional top-up sessions help keep results long-lasting.
Pre-care and after-care
Pre-care advice
A patch test is required before your first treatment. Avoid sun exposure, sunbeds and fake tan for 2 weeks beforehand, do not wax, pluck or thread the area (shaving is fine), and shave the area before your appointment as advised.
After-care advice
Avoid heat, saunas, swimming, exercise, sun exposure and fragranced products for 24–48 hours. Apply SPF to any exposed treated areas, avoid picking, and do not wax or pluck between sessions — shave only.
Minimal downtime — some redness on the day that settles quickly. Most clients return to normal activities immediately, avoiding heat and sun for 24–48 hours.
Safety, risks and contraindications
Contraindications
Not suitable during pregnancy, on very dark or recently tanned skin (depending on the system), over tattoos, active infections, certain medications (e.g. photosensitising) or some medical conditions. All assessed at consultation and patch test.
Side effects and risks
Temporary redness, warmth or slight swelling around the follicles is normal and settles within hours. Rarely, temporary pigment change or blistering can occur if aftercare (especially sun protection) is not followed.
