What is Laser Hair Removal Patch Test

A Laser Hair Removal Consultation & Patch Test is the essential first step before beginning your laser treatment journey. During this appointment, your practitioner will assess your skin type, hair colour, medical history and treatment goals to ensure laser treatment is both safe and suitable for you.

A small patch test is then performed using the laser to observe your skin’s response and determine the most appropriate treatment settings. This helps maximise treatment effectiveness while minimising the risk of adverse reactions.

Every laser hair removal treatment begins with a consultation and patch test to create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
