Questions?

Welcome to the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page. I understand that you may have queries about my services, policies, and more. To provide you with quick and informative answers, here is a list of common questions and their detailed responses. 

Laser Hair Removal - FAQs

Laser Hair Removal is the most effective, long-term hair reduction method. You may need 6 to 8 sessions to see the best results. Results vary from person to person, and top-up sessions may periodically be required.

At your 1st laser hair session, we cleanse the treatment area and make sure you are relaxed before starting. Some clients report a tingling sensation on the surface of the skin during treatment, often described like having an elastic band flicked against your skin.

For most clients though, the treatment is pain-free.

The most common side effects of laser hair removal are skin irritation, temporary discomfort and redness.

Yes. We use powerful medical-grade lasers, ensuring you receive the best laser hair removal treatment available. We have extensive experience in laser hair removal.

Laser treatment affects hair in the active growth phase (anagen stage). The laser beam is made up of precisely controlled pulses of energy which are absorbed by the melanin or pigment in the hair and reaches into the active hair follicles that lie beneath the skin.

The energy heats the hair, right down to the bottom of the root, safely destroying it without damaging the surrounding tissue or skin.

Tattoo Removal - FAQs

Q-Switched Lasers that generate a high powered beam of laser light in an extremely short pulse are the most suitable lasers for tattoo removal treatments. The very short pulse of high powered laser light is absorbed by the tattoo ink particles, breaking them down into smaller pieces, enabling your natural immune defences to absorb and disperse the ink. A gradual fading of the tattoo occurs over a series of treatments.

The skin will be cleaned and then the laser applicator is passed over the tattoo releasing quick pulses of light. An audible ‘clicking’ noise is often heard as the ink particles shatter. After treatment, a soothing lotion and a light dressing may be applied. During treatment protective eye wear will be provided.

Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a hot pin prick or the flick of an elastic band. Whilst mildly uncomfortable, most people tolerate treatment well. A skin cooling device may be utilised to reduce any discomfort.

An instant whitening of the skin is seen after treatment, but this generally fades quickly. The area is likely to feel tender for a few hours and can be red and swollen for up to 48 hours. Some tattoos will form a graze which must be left to heal naturally. Initially the tattoo is unlikely to look any different but will fade over the next 4 to 8 weeks as the body disperses it.

Very rarely the skin may become lighter or darker, or a small blister may form. Change to skin texture and scarring is possible, though uncommon, and is more likely if any grazes are not allowed to heal naturally. There may be loss of the natural tanning ability in the area treated, which usually improves with time.

This depends on several factors, including the density and colour of inks and the age of the tattoo. Amateur tattoos can be quick to remove, taking 1 to 6 treatments, whereas professional tattoos vary considerably and some can take up to 15 treatments. Treatment sessions are spaced 6 to 10 weeks apart.

Treatment time varies depending upon the size of the tattoo but generally is between 10 – 30 minutes.

Prior to treatment you must first undergo a consultation where details about your medical history are obtained in order to confirm suitability. Before proceeding you will be asked to sign a consent form and undergo a test patch.
