Which specialist performs laser hair removal?

Before treatment, the clinician reviews your skin tone, hair colour, treatment area, medicines, tanning history, and tendency to develop dark marks. The device delivers light energy to selected follicles, so settings and cooling need to be matched to the area and your skin response. Hair may grow in cycles, which is why the plan commonly involves more than one visit.

Choose a clinic that can name the treating clinician and explain which device is intended for you. Share recent sun exposure, fake tan, active skin irritation, cold sores, and medicines that make skin light-sensitive. Follow the clinic’s instructions about shaving and avoiding irritating products, and ask how they will protect the eyes and test your response.

Ask for medical review before treatment if the area has an unexplained rash, infection, open wound, or changing pigmented mark. After a session, contact the clinic promptly for worsening pain, blistering, marked swelling, or skin colour changes that do not settle as expected.

Ask who will operate the device, how your skin type will affect settings, whether your hair colour responds to the planned technology, and what aftercare is needed between visits.
