Step 1 – Free consultation and patch test
Your visit begins with a 15-minute consultation. A clinician inspects visible hair length (leave 2-3 mm stubble), checks skin tone and hydration, then performs a small 755 nm Alexandrite test pulse to rule out irritation. You receive a written quote and target session count before booking further treatments.
Step 2 – Pre-session prep
- Skip sunbeds and intense sun for 10 days.
- Shave the area 48 hours beforehand so the laser reaches the follicle, not surface hair.
- Arrive with clean, product-free skin and loose cotton clothing.
Step 3 – Your first full treatment
| Zone example | Session time | Sensation |
|---|---|---|
| Underarms | 15 min | Quick warm zaps with integrated cooling spray |
| Bikini & underarms combo | 30 min | Mild warmth – most clients rate pain 3 / 10 |
| Full legs | 60 min | Steady heat that fades seconds after each pulse |
A handheld Candela device delivers flashes of red light absorbed by melanin, heating and disabling the root while a cryogenic spray instantly cools skin.
Step 4 – Immediate after-care
Mild redness or goose-bump texture is normal and settles within hours. Apply aloe gel, avoid deodorant or tight Lycra for 24 hours, and skip gym, pool, or sea for 2-4 days. Stay out of direct sun for a week and use SPF 50 on exposed areas.
Step 5 – Results timeline
- Day 1-7 – Hairs in the treated zone loosen and shed.
- Week 6-8 – Regrowth cycle resumes; book your next session.
- Sessions 7-8 – Up to 85 % permanent reduction for most clients.
