Laser Hair Removal FAQ's
Most people have 8-10 hair growths, every 4-6 weeks. We would recommend sessions every 4-6 weeks to kill every hair growth. After every session you will notice a reduction in the hair growth, but please finish your course for the hair to go completely as unfinished courses will not give you the full effect.
You will require a top up of one session every 12-18 months once you’ve finished the original course. Please be wary of clinics claiming laser hair removal is permanent as this is not the case. Even though top ups are required this treatment is still highly effective. The hair growth after the course is very minimal or even non existent for some clients and skin is tight and rejuvenated.
Avoid direct sunlight or fake tan 10 days prior to your treatment. Also, if the skin is very tanned from the sun you must allow the tan to fade a bit before treatment. Call our Southampton clinic for further advice.
Do not let the area overheat for 48 hrs after your treatment. Avoid hot baths, showers, steam rooms and direct sunlight for the first 48 hours. Avoid catching a deep tan between your sessions and we recommend getting your laser hair removal treatment in the winter months.
Avoid waxing, epilating or threading prior to your session as laser hair removal requires a present hair follicle to kill. We require you to shave between sessions and just before your treatment so that there is no hair growth when you come for your session.
