A Handy reminder in the clinic. When you book your Laser Hair Removal and Laser Skin Treatments, you trust the person doing your treatments. Here are our suggestions for asking your laser hair removal clinician some questions.
1. Where can I find reviews from your clients?
If they don’t say, they have any. I’d quickly go and check out their Facebook reviews, google my business reviews, or see if they have any before and afters on their website.
2. What qualifications do you hold?
It’s essential to ask the laser practitioner what qualifications they have. For instance, Mina Willment, our Founder and laser clinician, has numerous qualifications relevant to conducting laser hair removal and laser skin treatments.

3. Ask how they find out whether your skin is appropriate for laser treatments
A consultation before your appointment is crucial because it gives the consultant time to ask you for a brief medical history. This should be followed by a patch test on the area to be treated. A patch test involves testing a small site of your skin type to see how well it responds to the laser treatment. You should be seen 48 hours later to assess the laser’s effect. This will allow your laser practitioner to become familiar with your skin type and will work as a helpful guide to optimise your treatment.
