Body

Follow your individually agreed aftercare instructions. Protect treated skin from direct sun and avoid sunbeds. A clean, cool cloth may feel soothing if the skin is red or warm.

Initially avoid heat, strong friction, intense exercise and irritating skin care products. Resume shaving and exfoliation only once the skin has healed and in line with your aftercare instructions. Seek medical advice for blisters, severe pain or increasing redness.

Skin colour, hair pigment, hair thickness, treatment area, device settings and treatment intervals affect results. Changes in hair growth and medical factors can also play a role. Unusual or suddenly increased hair growth should be medically assessed.

Several sessions are needed. The number depends on factors including body area, skin and hair colour, hair thickness and progress so far. During the consultation, we discuss a provisional plan and review it throughout treatment. A fixed number of sessions or complete freedom from hair cannot be promised. Maintenance appointments may be useful later.

Please discuss skin conditions, medication and any recent tan with us in advance. Avoid sunbathing, sunbeds and self-tanner; treatment will be postponed if your skin is tanned. Pause waxing, plucking and epilating before your treatment course. We will discuss suitable timing and shaving during your consultation.

To prepare for your appointment, carefully shave the area the evening before and arrive without make-up, deodorant, oils or creams. Please tell us about irritated or injured skin; additional exfoliation is not required.

During the consultation, we discuss your wishes, skin and hair, medication, skin conditions and recent sun exposure. This includes possible risks, alternatives, the likely treatment commitment and costs. Medical questions may need to be assessed by a doctor.

A test patch can provide information about skin response and help select settings. It does not rule out later side effects or replace careful assessment before every session.
