Preparation
Shave instead of waxing or epilating in the weeks before the session so the root stays reachable. Fresh intensive tanning and certain medications can postpone an appointment.

Aftercare
Mild redness or a warm feeling can be normal. Avoid extreme heat/UV as advised. For blisters, strong pain or unusual reactions, contact us and seek medical advice if needed.
Sun, intervals and everyday life
Plan buffers around holidays and solarium. Session spacing follows the hair cycle of the zone – underarms (from 65€) often need a different rhythm than legs or full-body plans.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Should I shave or wax before a laser session?
Shaving shortly before the appointment is usual. Waxing, epilating or plucking remove the root from focus – please avoid those for weeks beforehand.
What about sun and solarium?
Intensive UV around the session increases the risk of skin reactions. Plan buffers and high sun protection on treated areas.
Which medications matter?
Some medicines increase photosensitivity. Bring a current medication list to the consultation – we then decide on the appointment or a postponement.
Why spacing between sessions?
Laser mainly affects hairs in the growth phase. Intervals follow the hair cycle of the zone.
What is normal after a session?
Mild redness or a warm skin feeling can occur and often settle. Strong pain, blisters or unusual reactions: please contact us and seek medical advice if needed.
Where do I book after reading?
