Laser Hair Removal FAQ’s

• How much does it cost?

  Cost will vary depending on the area and number of treatments you require. See our price list for details. For an exact quotation of how many sessions you will need, please book a consultation with a member of our team.

• What happens at the consultation?

  You will meet your treatment provider who will ask you about your goals and concerns. A full medical history will be done, before agreeing a plan for you and discussing the treatment, aftercare and risks in detail. Following this, you will receive a quotation for the treatment recommended.

  You will also have a test patch at your consultation. Once confirmed that you have had no adverse reactions within 48 hours of the test patch, we can continue with your treatment plan.

• How do I prepare for my treatment?

  To prepare for your treatment please ensure you:

  • Shave the treatment area the night before
  • Stop using retinol and exfoliation products a minimum of 1 week before your treatment
  • Keep the treatment area away from direct sunlight a minimum of 1 week before your treatment

  And, look forward to your treatment with our wonderful aesthetician!

  Please note that failure to adequately prepare for your treatment may mean your treatment cannot be carried out and you may still be charged.

• Is it painful?

  The majority of people find laser hair removal only mildly uncomfortable. At LTC we also provide you with a tool that blows cold air, which you can hold towards the area being treated, which our patients find increases their comfort.

• What happens after my treatment?

  After your treatment we advise that you:

  • Use aloe vera to soothe the area
  • Avoid touch the area (other than to apply aloe vera)
  • Avoid exercise for 24-48 hours
  • Avoid hot baths and steam rooms for 48 hours
  • Avoid retinol products and exfoliating for 4-5 days
  • Avoid direct sunlight to the area for 1 week.

• What happens if there is a complication?

  At LTC our hair removal specialists are trained to reduce the risks associated with laser hair removal and complications are rare. In the event of any complications with your treatment you will be medically assessed as soon as possible by your treatment provider or a qualified member of our clinical team and a treatment plan will be recommended.
