Laser Hair Removal Questions to Ask

Choosing a laser hair removal clinic, laser type and doctor can be confusing. Here are some questions to ask before starting laser hair removal treatment.

Questions Regarding Laser Hair Removal:

· Ask for as much information as possible over the phone. Ask for:

o Brand and model of laser used and length of time used at their practice
o Number of clients treated
o Name and specialty of doctor supervising the laser hair removal
o Ask about the cost of the consultation and test patch

· Ask about medical or technical laser hair removal training including:

o Length of time they’ve been using the particular machine.
o Number of clients treated for laser hair removal.
o How much hair growth is needed before a test patch is performed.
o If there is anything else you should or shouldn’t do before laser hair removal.

· Ask to meet the person giving the laser hair removal treatment. Use a doctor instead of a technician.
· Ask for clinical studies that prove their success, especially if they claim their process is permanent.
· Ask for a test patch. Find out how much it will cost. Make sure the same person doing the test patch performs the laser hair removal.
· Ask about office policies for missed appointments.
· Ask about post-treatment regarding how long it takes for hair to fall out, possible side effects and length of time before new growth can be removed.
· Ask if pain relief is available.
· Ask for a written guarantee for promised results. You may be able to get a refund if you aren't satisfied with your laser hair removal results.
