What to Expect
Your first appointment begins with a consultation to assess your skin type, hair colour, and treatment goals. Our team will explain the process, calibrate the device to your unique characteristics, and perform your treatment with precision and care. Sessions typically last 10 to 60 minutes depending on the area. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm flick or mild snap. Thanks to built-in cooling systems, treatment is generally comfortable. You can resume normal activities right after your appointment, although mild redness or sensitivity may occur temporarily.

How Laser Hair Removal Works
Using the principle of selective photothermolysis, laser and IPL systems deliver targeted light energy absorbed by melanin in the hair shaft. This energy converts to heat, safely destroying the hair follicle without damaging surrounding skin. At Preventous, we use both the Linscan 808 Diode Laser and IPL systems to tailor treatment based on hair colour, skin type, and area, allowing for precise, effective outcomes.
Hair grows in cycles, and only actively growing hairs (anagen phase) can be treated. That’s why a series of treatments is required, usually spaced 4–6 weeks apart, to catch every hair at the right stage.
Downtime
Laser hair removal typically involves little to no downtime. You may experience slight redness, warmth, or swelling in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few hours. Cool compresses and avoiding sun exposure help soothe the skin. Makeup and regular activities can resume the same day unless otherwise advised.
Maintenance
While results are long-lasting, occasional maintenance treatments may be needed to address new hair growth caused by hormones or other factors. Most clients enjoy smooth, hair-free skin for months or even years after their initial series is complete.

Most patients need 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart to achieve optimal hair reduction. The exact number depends on your skin type, hair colour, and the treatment area.

Most patients describe the sensation as a warm flick or rubber band snap. Our devices include built-in cooling systems to enhance comfort.
