Laser hair Removal

In short: anyone who wants a very comfortable, well-tolerated treatment, including people with sensitive skin.

Profiles that respond well

• Sensitive/reactive skin: prone to redness or stinging with waxing/electrolysis — FHOS helps calm immediately.
• Low pain tolerance: first-timers or anyone with a bad past experience.
• Delicate areas: bikini, underarms, face — where discomfort is usually highest.
• Phototypes I–VI: suitable for light to dark skin when settings are properly adjusted by the practitioner.
• Pigmented hair: brown/chestnut/black (best response regardless of the device used in combination with FHOS).
• Fed up with irritation: from waxing/razors and want fast post-treatment recovery.

“`

• Photosensitizing meds/products: some antibiotics, retinoids, acne treatments, certain essential oils — disclose to adapt or postpone.
• Very tanned skin / post-holiday: we often wait 2–3 weeks before the session.
• Active skin conditions: eczema flares, psoriasis plaques, cold sores on the area — avoid the area during flares.
• Tattoos / prominent moles: they’re shielded or bypassed.
• Hormonal issues (PCOS, postpartum): still possible — plan a tailored protocol and follow-up.

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding: postponed as a precaution.
• Ongoing cancer therapy, immunosuppression, recent isotretinoin (within the last 6–12 months): medical clearance or deferral.
• Open lesions, sunburn, or active infection on the area: wait until healed.
• Photosensitive epilepsy: must be declared — adaptation or contraindication depending on the case.

• Shave the area the day before or the same day (no tweezing/waxing for 3–4 weeks prior).
• No recent tanning or self-tanner for 10–14 days beforehand.
• Avoid acids/retinoids on the area for 3–7 days before.
• Arrive with clean skin, no perfume or deodorant on the treated area.
• Disclose all medications and skin history to your practitioner.

1. Is your hair brown/chestnut/black?
2. No intense sun or self-tanner on the area for 2 weeks?
3. Not using a photosensitizing treatment right now?
4. Sensitive skin or low pain tolerance — you want a very comfortable session?

If you’re unsure about anything, no worries — a short in-clinic assessment will confirm eligibility and fine-tune settings.

Some may feel a slight pinch or pressure during the injections.
