1. Shave Before Your Appointment (but not before your consult as we need to see the hair)
While it might seem counterintuitive, shaving the treatment area 24 hours before your session is crucial. This helps the laser target the hair follicles without burning surface hair. Avoid waxing, plucking & bleaching, as these remove the hair root or remove the colour of the hair which the laser needs to be effective.

2. Avoid Sun Exposure
Keep the treatment area out of the sun for at least two weeks before and after your appointment. Sunburned or tanned skin increases the risk of irritation and uneven results. Use a high SPF sunscreen if you must be outdoors and avoid tanning beds entirely. All fake tans need to be completely removed prior to treatment.

3. Stay Consistent with Appointments
Laser hair removal works best when sessions are spaced 4-8 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area. This timing ensures the laser targets hair during its growth phase. Skipping appointments or inconsistent scheduling can delay your results.

4. Moisturise and Avoid Irritants
After each session, your skin may feel sensitive. Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser to soothe the area. Avoid exfoliating, using hot water, or applying harsh skincare products (like retinoids or acids) on the treated area for a few days.

5. Be Patient for Full Results
Laser hair removal is a process. You’ll likely notice a reduction in hair growth after a few sessions, but full results may take 6-10 treatments on average. Stay committed and trust the process—it’s worth it for long-term smoothness!
