Before and after tip for the best results from Laser Hair Removal ⚡️

We offer industry-leading permanent hair removal using a ‘mixed technology’ laser. The Alpha machine combines two ‘gold standard’ lasers meaning we are proud to offer superior hair removal treatments for ALL hair and skin types.

Quick, effective, and safe, our laser hair removal procedure provides a long-term solution to unwanted, excess hair for both men and women. This hair laser treatment is suitable for both face and body hair, with visible results after just a few sessions and virtually pain free with the unique cooling tip.

To get the best results from your treatment we sat down with Beth at The Bothy to discuss the best pre and post treatment at home advice.

PRE-TREATMENT

🌵If you are taking any medication or have any medical condition, please contact us prior to booking as this may restrict having the treatment.

​🌵We recommend waiting 4-6 weeks after any waxing services and to arrive on the day of your first treatment with the area freshly shaven.

🌵Shave like your life depended on it – we will get the best results the smoother your skin is, if you’ve missed any hairs the laser will not work on these and may cause minor discomfort. If you don’t like to shave hair removal creams can be used but please patch test these on your skin prior to your appointment. Sometimes they can irritate your skin and we wouldn’t be able to laser over any irritated skin.

POST-TREATMENT

⚡️The skin may be pink/red and there may be some swelling to the hair follicle, this is usually resolved in a few hours.

⚡️Immediately after the treatment, the skin may also feel warm, keep the treated area clean and dry and avoid excessive heat for 48 hours (sauna/steam rooms).

⚡️We recommend always using SPF 50 over the treated area.

⚡️Do not pluck or wax any hairs, you can shave, or trim in-between appointments however please don’t pull the hairs out.
