Thinking about booking a laser hair removal appointment in Bournemouth but not sure what to expect? You’re not alone. At Progen Aesthetics, many of our Bournemouth clients ask about laser hair removal and want to know exactly how the process works.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything from consultation to aftercare, step-by-step.
A to Z: Your Laser Hair Removal Journey
A. Initial Consultation
Your first step is a free consultation. We assess your:
- Skin tone & hair type
- Medical history
- Treatment goals
We’ll also explain the process, answer your questions, and perform a patch test to check skin sensitivity.
B. Patch Test
A small area of your skin will be treated to see how it reacts to the laser. This ensures:
- The right laser setting for your skin type
- Minimal risk of irritation
C. Pre-Treatment Guidelines
To prepare for your appointment:
- Shave the area 24 hours before
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 2 weeks
- Do not use lotions, deodorants, or makeup on the treatment area on the day
D. Your Laser Hair Removal Appointment
Here’s what happens during your session:
- You wear protective goggles
- We apply a cooling gel or use a laser with a built-in cooling system
- The laser pulses target hair follicles with gentle heat
- You may feel a light snapping or warming sensation
- Treatment time varies (from 10 minutes to 1 hour)
E. Aftercare Tips
After your session:
- You might see mild redness or swelling (this fades in a few hours)
- Avoid hot baths, saunas, and gym workouts for 48 hours
- Apply aloe vera gel or a gentle moisturizer
- Always use SPF on treated areas if exposed to the sun
F. Follow-Up Treatments
Hair grows in cycles, so you’ll need 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. We’ll book your next session before you leave.
