Can I shave, wax, pluck, epilate or use hair removal creams?

You may use hair removal creams and you may shave, but you must not epilate, pluck or wax as there must be a hair in the follicle for the laser to work.

Usually between 6/8, usually 6 treatments on the body and 8 treatments on the face.

We usually recommend at least 1 week although 48 hours is enough if they are pushed for time.
