Question 1

How much is the consultation?

Accepted Answer

The 20-minute IPL Hair Removal Consultation and Patch Test is £10, included in the overall cost of your treatment. If your consultation is on a separate day, the £10 is paid at your consultation and counts towards your treatment cost. If your consultation and treatment are on the same day, you only pay for your treatment at the end of the appointment. If you do not attend your treatment appointment, or cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, the £10 fee still applies.

Question 2

Do I need a patch test?

Accepted Answer

Clients start with a consultation and patch-test process before treatment begins where required. Your therapist will confirm this at your consultation.

Question 3

Do I need to shave before treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hair in the treatment area should be shaved 24 hours before treatment.

Question 4

Avoid UV exposure from the sun or tanning beds, and avoid self-tan before and between treatments. For laser and IPL therapies avoid UV for 4 weeks; for SHR avoid UV for 2 weeks.
