DO THERAPIE CLINIC USE AN IPL MACHINE OR MEDICAL GRADE LASER?
Thérapie Clinic only use the most advanced leading Medical Grade Lasers, not IPL machines.
HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED TO ACHIEVE MY DESIRED RESULT?
The number of treatments you will need is dependent on many factors: the area being treated, the type of hair being treated, systemic factors such as medications, medical conditions, stress & hormonal influences such as PCOS for example
You will need at least 6 – 10 treatments to achieve optimum results.
DO I NEED A CONSULTATION OR A PATCH TEST PRIOR TO LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
After purchasing your Laser Hair Removal Treatment, you can immediately book your first treatment. There is no patch test or consultation required prior to this appointment.
CAN YOU TREAT ALL SKIN TYPES?
Yes, all skin types are treatable at Thérapie Clinic as we only use medical grade lasers with the most advanced technologies that allows us to do this safely and effectively.
HOW OFTEN CAN I HAVE MY TREATMENTS?
We recommend you leave a minimum of 4-8 weeks between your treatment times initially; this depends on the area you are treating and your hair cycle. As the number of growing hairs begin to reduce, we may space your treatments out further to ensure we always catch the hair in the correct stage of growth the anagen stage.
I HAVE BLONDE HAIR; CAN I STILL HAVE LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
Unfortunately, blonde, grey/white and red hair do not respond to laser hair removal treatment. The Laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair and these hair colours do not produce any pigment so will not be effective.
DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL HURT?
As with all treatments, it depends on the person and how sensitive they are, as well as the area being treated. We use Cynosure lasers, both of which have additional cooling devices to decrease sensitivity during treatment, the sensation is well-tolerated by most people.
