Before we start the first treatment, you always get an intake call. During this intake interview we will inform you well about the treatment, what you can expect and you have the space to ask questions about the treatment. In addition, we always do some test pulses. This means we’re going to treat a small piece of the area. In this way you can experience what it is like to be treated and we can see which setting of the laser is most effective to start the treatment. Then we make an appointment for the first treatment.
Of course, we will also give you a number of advices in preparation. For example, how far before the treatment waxing and epilating of the area to be treated is no longer desirable and what else you can do to make the treatment as effective and pleasant as possible.
We also advise you not to expose the area to be treated to excessive sunlight or go under the sunbed 6 weeks before treatment. We also do not recommend the use of self-tanning creams. The lighter your skin is, the more contrast with your hairs. This makes the hairs absorb more energy and make the treatments more effective. This does not mean that you are not allowed to be in the sun with the treated area at all. This just means you can not spend hours in direct sunlight with the area you want to get treated.
On the evening before the treatment we ask you to shave the area to be treated as smoothly as possible. As a result, the heat from the laser goes directly to the hair roots which makes the treatment more effective and less painful. The heat feels best on the skin surface and by shaving the heat pulls deeper into the skin.
You will feel fewer pain stimuli during treatment if you enter the treatment rested and relaxed. Of course, we will do everything we can to relax by putting you at ease before and during the treatment.
