Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Venus IPL LHR Small Areas.

Yes. Venus IPL LHR Small Areas uses gentle IPL settings and trained clinicians to protect delicate skin. We'll perform a patch test, review medical history, and adjust energy levels. Minor temporary redness may occur, but serious side effects are rare.

Most clients need a series of four to eight sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, depending on hair growth cycles and treated area. Results build over time; personalised assessment determines ideal session count.

You may feel mild warmth, tingling or brief pinprick sensations during Venus IPL LHR Small Areas treatments. We use cooling and adjustable settings to minimise discomfort. Topical numbing is available for very sensitive clients if requested.

IPL is most effective on darker hair and lighter skin tones, but modern Venus devices and skillful settings can treat a broader range safely. Book a consultation to assess your skin and hair type before starting.

Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and self-tanning products for two weeks prior. Do not wax or pluck; shaving is allowed 24 to 48 hours before. Disclose medications and skincare products at consultation to prevent adverse reactions.

You'll often see hairs shed within two to three weeks after treatment, with gradual thinning after each session. Noticeable, long-term reduction typically appears after multiple sessions; maintenance appointments help preserve results.
