Laser hair removal for every skin tone

Why wavelength matters for deeper skin, what a patch test tells us, and how we choose settings for your Fitzpatrick type.

Before you arrive

Shave the area the day before, skip self-tan and sun for two weeks, and don't wax or pluck: the laser needs the root in place.

In the room

Your practitioner checks your skin type, runs a patch test and talks you through each step. The cooled handpiece glides over the skin; each pulse feels like a quick snap.

Afterwards

  • Some pinkness for a few hours is normal.
  • Skip the gym and hot baths for 24 hours.
  • Wear SPF daily between sessions.
