How the options differ
Laser hair reduction targets pigment in the hair follicle. Pigmentation lasers target excess pigment in the skin. Radiofrequency microneedling uses heat delivered through fine needles to stimulate collagen. Device names and capabilities listed will match the equipment the clinic actually uses.
Your consultation
We assess your skin type, sun exposure, medications (including photosensitising drugs) and history of cold sores, scarring or pigment changes. A patch test may be required before your first full session.
Preparation
- Avoid sun exposure and self-tan for at least two weeks.
- Pause retinoids and exfoliating acids as advised.
- Shave the area the day before laser hair reduction; do not wax or pluck.
Aftercare
- Use a broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily.
- Avoid heat, swimming pools and exfoliation for 48 hours.
- Keep the skin moisturised and do not pick at any crusting.
Safety
- Recent tanning increases the risk of burns and pigment change.
- Some medications and conditions make laser treatment unsuitable.
- Protective eyewear is used during every laser session.
