Your Treatment Process
Step 1: Consultation
Step 2: During the Treatment
Step 3: Post-Treatment Care
Your Laser Hair Removal journey begins with a personalised consultation. We’ll assess your skin type, hair colour, and treatment goals to develop a customised plan for optimal results.
Using the Cutera Xeo ProWave and Nd:YAG handpieces, targeted light energy penetrates the skin to heat and disable hair follicles, preventing future growth. The ProWave is ideal for larger areas, while the Nd:YAG ensures safe and effective treatment for darker skin types. You may feel a mild tingling or snapping sensation, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Cooling technology ensures maximum comfort throughout.
After treatment, you might experience slight redness or sensitivity, which typically subsides within a few hours. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to enhance healing and maintain results.
Pre and Post Treatment Care

- Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and artificial tanning for at least two weeks before treatment.
- Shave the treatment area 24 hours prior to your session but avoid plucking or waxing.
- Refrain from using active skincare products like retinol or AHAs on the treatment area 5-7 days before.
- Inform your clinician of any medications or recent treatments.
- No plucking or waxing 4 weeks prior to treatment.
Post-Treatment Care:
- Apply a gentle moisturiser and sunscreen to protect the treated area.
- Avoid heat (saunas, hot tubs) and vigorous exercise for 1-2 days.
