FAQs

How soon after a sunbed can I get laser treatment?

It is recommended to wait at least 4 weeks after using a sunbed before having a laser treatment. This is because tanned or recently sun-exposed skin is more sensitive and at a higher risk of burns, pigmentation changes, or irritation when exposed to laser energy.

For the best and safest results:

  • Avoid sunbeds and excessive sun exposure for at least 4 weeks before treatment.

  • Always use SPF 30-50 on exposed areas to protect your skin.

  • Let your natural skin tone return before starting laser treatments.

If you’ve recently used a sunbed and are unsure whether your skin is ready for treatment, book a consultation and patch test so we can assess your skin’s condition and advise on the best timeline for your sessions.

How soon with I see results?

The timeframe for visible results depends on the type of laser treatment you receive.

Laser Hair Removal

Most clients start to see a reduction in hair growth after 2-3 sessions, with hair becoming finer and slower to regrow. However, full results typically require 6-8 sessions, depending on the treatment area and individual hair type. After completing your sessions, you’ll notice a significant long-term reduction in hair growth, with only occasional maintenance needed.

Laser Tattoo Removal

Tattoo removal is a gradual process. After each session, the tattoo will fade over the following weeks as your body naturally flushes out the ink. Most tattoos require 6-12 sessions, spaced 6-8 weeks apart, for full removal, depending on the ink colour, size, depth, and age of the tattoo.

Skin Treatments (Pigmentation & Rejuvenation)

Results for skin treatments can be seen within a few days to weeks, depending on the concern being treated. Some clients notice brighter, clearer skin after just one session, while deeper pigmentation issues may take multiple treatments to achieve optimal results.

For the best and longest-lasting results, we tailor each treatment plan to your specific needs and ensure you have the right aftercare guidance.

Can I get laser hair removal or tattoo removal if I have a heart condition?

If you have a heart condition, it is essential to consult with your GP or cardiologist before undergoing any laser treatments. While laser hair removal and tattoo removal are generally safe, certain medical conditions, medications, or implanted devices (such as pacemakers) may require special precautions.

Here are a few key considerations:

  • Medications: Some heart medications (such as blood thinners) can increase sensitivity and may impact healing after laser treatments.

  • Pacemakers & Implants: If you have a pacemaker or other medical device, let us know during your consultation so we can assess whether the treatment is suitable.

  • Skin Sensitivity & Circulation Issues: Some heart conditions can affect blood circulation and healing time, which may influence treatment outcomes.

    Your safety is our top priority, so we always recommend a consultation and patch test before proceeding with any laser treatment.

    If you have a heart condition, please seek medical advice before booking your session.

Does laser treatment hurt?

Laser treatments are designed to be as comfortable as possible, and most clients describe the sensation as mild and tolerable. However, the level of discomfort can vary depending on the area being treated, individual pain tolerance, and the type of laser treatment.

Most clients say laser hair removal feels like a warm tingling sensation or a quick snap, similar to an elastic band.

Laser tattoo removal can cause more discomfort than hair removal, as the laser targets the ink deeper in the skin. Clients often compare the feeling to tiny hot pinpricks or a rubber band snapping against the skin.

While some areas (like the bikini line or tattoo removal on bony areas) may be slightly more sensitive, the majority of clients find laser treatments completely manageable.

Can I have laser treatments if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

As a precaution, laser treatments are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to hormonal changes that may affect skin sensitivity.

Is laser hair removal safe for all skin types?

Yes! We use modern laser technology that is suitable for a wide range of skin tones and hair types. However, during your consultation and patch test, we will assess your skin and hair to ensure the best and safest treatment plan for you.
