Wetty Pro hair removal laser

Laser energy is absorbed by pigment in the hair and converted to heat near the follicle. Because hairs grow in different phases, a course of appointments is usually needed, and results vary with hair colour, thickness, hormones, and the area treated. Ask which platform is being used, such as an [Alexandrite Laser](/technology/alexandrite-laser/), [Diode Laser](/technology/diode-laser/), or [Nd:YAG Laser](/technology/nd-yag-laser/).

Avoid tanning and disclose recent sun exposure, medicines, active skin disease, and a history of pigment changes or cold sores. Follow the clinic’s shaving instructions and avoid waxing or plucking if advised, because the follicle is the treatment target. During treatment, protective eyewear is essential. Temporary redness, warmth, swelling around follicles, or sensitivity can occur; cool compresses and gentle aftercare may help.

Contact the treating clinic for blistering, marked pain, persistent swelling, pus, or skin colour changes that worsen rather than settle. Seek urgent help for breathing difficulty or widespread swelling. Laser treatment may reduce problems linked with [Ingrown Hairs](/symptoms/ingrown-hairs/), but it is not a substitute for assessment of painful lumps, draining areas, or suspected [Hidradenitis Suppurativa](/conditions/hidradenitis-suppurativa/).

Ask who will perform the treatment, which laser wavelength and settings are planned, how your skin tone will be protected, what patch testing means for you, and what aftercare is required.
