Which laser treatment should I book?
If you are unsure, enquire about a consultation first. We can discuss the concern, identify the relevant service and confirm current availability and practitioner arrangements.
Is every laser suitable for every skin tone?
No. Device choice, treatment settings and the concern being treated all matter. Some procedures carry a greater risk of pigment changes in certain skin tones. An individual assessment is essential.
What are the possible side effects?
Laser treatment can cause discomfort, redness and swelling. Depending on the procedure, risks also include burns or blistering, infection, pigment changes and scarring. Eye injury is a risk without appropriate protection. The practitioner should explain the risks specific to the proposed treatment.
Will I need a patch test?
This depends on the treatment. Where a test patch is needed, allow for the assessment period before a full appointment. Tell us about any health, medication or sun-exposure changes between visits.
How many hair-removal sessions will I need?
This varies by area, hair characteristics and individual response. A course is commonly needed and maintenance may be discussed. Ask for a realistic plan and review points rather than a guaranteed number.
Can I have treatment before a holiday or an event?
Tell us your dates before booking. Sun exposure, skin recovery and the treatment type may affect timing. Your practitioner should advise on an appropriate schedule.
