Free Hair Analysis and Laser Patch Test

Free Hair Analysis and Laser Patch Test

Before you start laser, let us look at your hair and skin and test a small area. Your settings and session plan are based on this assessment.

Why We Start with a Patch Test

What decides your result and comfort in laser hair removal is setting the device correctly for your hair and skin. We want to do that by seeing your hair and skin, not by guessing. That is why every laser plan at our salon starts with a free hair analysis and patch test. It does not commit you to any package.

What We Assess

  • Hair colour and thickness: dark, coarse hair responds best; expectations are set upfront for blonde, red and white hair.
  • Skin tone: decides which wavelengths are used and in what ratio; darker skin gets a 1064 nm-weighted setting.
  • Area and hair density: the basis for estimating the number of sessions and intervals.
  • Health history and medication: we ask about photosensitising medication, pregnancy and hormonal conditions.
  • Sun exposure: if your skin is freshly tanned, the start may be postponed.

How the Patch Test Works

  1. A small area of the zone to be treated is chosen.
  2. A few pulses are fired at the starting setting chosen for you.
  3. We talk about how it feels and check how the skin responds.
  4. Settings are adjusted if needed and your first session is scheduled.

The analysis and patch test usually take 15–20 minutes. Just shave the test area with a razor the day before.

What You Leave With

  • The wavelength setting that suits your hair and skin,
  • An estimated number of sessions and intervals for the areas you choose,
  • What to do before and after each session,
  • An honest view of whether laser is right for you.

The Technology

We use the Megatron 4D Diode, which combines 755, 808, 940 and 1064 nm in one sapphire-cooled handpiece. Curious about the differences between technologies? Read alexandrite or diode?
