Most skin types benefit, though effectiveness varies with hair colour and skin tone. Darker hair and lighter skin typically respond best. A consultation and patch test determine suitability and expected results, and we tailor settings for safety and optimal reduction.

Typically six to eight sessions spaced four to six weeks apart achieve significant permanent reduction. Individual hair growth cycles, hormonal factors, and skin type influence the exact number. Maintenance touch-ups may be recommended annually or as hair regrowth appears.

Most clients describe mild, brief discomfort like warm snaps or tingling. We use cooling and adjustable settings to minimize pain. Sensitivity varies by area and individual, but topical numbing can be provided for particularly anxious or sensitive clients.

Avoid tanning, sun exposure, and self-tanning products for at least two weeks prior. Shave the area 24 to 48 hours before treatment and avoid waxing or plucking. Bring prior treatment history and medications to your consultation to ensure safe settings.

Common temporary effects include redness, mild swelling, and slight sensitivity that usually resolve within hours to days. Rarely, pigment changes or blistering can occur, especially with recent sun exposure. We provide aftercare instructions to reduce risks and support healing.

Initial hair shedding occurs one to three weeks after treatment, with visible reduction after multiple sessions. Expect gradual improvement across the recommended course, and full benefits typically appear after several sessions with periodic maintenance for lasting smoothness.
