Hair removal: preparation and aftercare guide

Prepare for hair removal, understand aftercare and know what to discuss before your visit.

Hair removal

Confirm the method before preparing for hair removal

The category name 'hair removal' does not identify a device or method. Before shaving or preparing an area yourself, ask which method is proposed and request instructions for that area.

Ask what one visit covers, how suitability is assessed and how pricing works. A fixed number of sessions or a 'permanent' advertising claim should not be read as a guarantee of your individual result.

Questions to ask before deciding

  • Which method and device would be used?
  • How should I prepare this specific area?
  • Is pricing per visit or per area, and when is progress reviewed?

How should you prepare?

  1. Avoid tanning and share recent sun exposure
  2. Tell us about medication and active products
  3. Follow the confirmed shaving instructions before treatment

Aftercare

  • Soothe and protect the area as advised
  • Limit sun and strong friction
  • Contact the team if a reaction is prolonged or unusual

Safety and realistic expectations

Discuss broken or tanned skin, a tendency to scar, current medication and recent procedures before booking.

Frequently asked questions

Should I shave or leave hair before the appointment?

Instructions differ between technology and waxing. Confirm the method before shaving or leaving a specific hair length.

How soon can I go to the beach afterwards?

Avoid sun, heat and friction for the advised period; return only when skin is settled and can be protected appropriately.
