What to do before the session and when it's better to postpone
Half of unsuccessful courses aren't about the device — they're about improper preparation. This list is honest, no sugarcoating: if something in the right column applies to you, we'll say so at the consultation, not after payment.
For 2–3 weeks — don't pluck hair. Not with wax, sugaring, tweezers, or an epilator. The root has to be in place, otherwise there's nothing to heat.Shave the area 8–12 hours in advance. Hair above the skin surface absorbs the energy and causes a burn; shaving right before a session is also unnecessary irritation.10–14 days without sun or tanning beds. Remove self-tanner even earlier — it changes how your skin looks to the device.On the day of the procedure — clean skin. No creams, oils, deodorant or makeup on the area.Tell us about any medication. Retinoids, certain antibiotics, and St. John's wort increase light sensitivity — this affects the settings or postpones the session.Prone to herpes? For face and bikini areas, prevention is prescribed by a doctor in advance, not on the day of the visit.

From the door to the next booking
The first visit is longer than the rest: it includes a conversation, a health questionnaire, and a test on a small area.
Consultation and questionnaire
We check your skin type and hair color, go over medications, chronic conditions and previous hair removal experience. This is also where it becomes clear how many sessions you'll actually need.
Test flashes
We do a few flashes on a small area and check the skin's reaction. Based on the result, we select the power — the settings are saved in your file and refined with each session.
Preparing the area
We check the shave, touch it up on the spot if needed, and remove any cosmetics. Moles and tattoos are covered. You and the specialist put on protective goggles — the session doesn't start without them.
Device passes
The handpiece moves over the area with cooling — the sensation is like short warm clicks and a cold tingle. Complex spots are passed over again. Underarms take a few minutes, full legs — about an hour.
After the pass
We apply a soothing product. Mild redness and "goosebumps" around the follicles are a normal reaction that fades within a few hours, rarely within a day.
Date of the next session
We log the parameters, area and date of your next visit in your card, factoring in the interval. There's no point coming earlier — we'll remind you of this, even if you really want to.
What to do in the days after the session
There aren't many rules, but they directly affect the result of the next session.
No sauna, steam bath, pool, hot bath or gym. Warmed skin is more prone to irritation after a session.
No scrubs, acids or rough washcloths. Deodorant for underarms — after 24 hours. Moisturize with a simple product without alcohol or fragrance.
Treated hair will come out gradually — it looks like regrowth, but it's just being pushed out. Don't pull it with tweezers; after a week you can help it along with a gentle scrub.
Between sessions, shaving only. SPF 30–50 on exposed areas for the whole course — otherwise pigmentation and a rescheduled date.
