Get answers to common questions about Venus LHR Full Back Pax 6.

Most clients complete the Pax 6 package of six sessions to achieve substantial long-term reduction. Individual results vary based on hair colour, density and hormones. Sessions are usually spaced 4-8 weeks; maintenance treatments may be recommended for hormonal changes or residual regrowth.

Yes — Venus LHR is designed to treat a wide range of skin tones when performed by trained clinicians. We perform a consultation and patch test to select appropriate settings, minimising risk of hyperpigmentation and ensuring safe, effective hair reduction.

Most clients report mild, tolerable sensations described as snapping or warmth. Venus devices include integrated cooling to increase comfort; topical numbing is available on request. Your clinician adjusts settings to balance effectiveness and comfort throughout the course.

Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks, and do not wax or pluck hair between sessions. Shave the treatment area 24-48 hours beforehand, discontinue retinoids a few days prior, and inform clinicians of medications or skin conditions.

You may notice reduced regrowth and thinner hair after the first one to two sessions as treated hairs shed. Optimal long-term reduction typically appears after completing the six-session pack, with results improving over several months and occasional maintenance advised.

Common side effects are mild redness, sensitivity or temporary swelling that resolve within hours to days. Rare risks include blistering, pigment changes or burns if contraindications are not observed. Thorough consultation, patch testing and experienced clinicians minimise complications.
