Question 1

What lower-body areas can be treated?

Accepted Answer

At Thérapie Clinic, we treat key areas including full or half legs, thighs, bikini line, Brazilian, and lower abdomen. Your clinician will tailor a treatment plan to suit your individual needs and preferences.

Question 2

How does lower-body laser hair removal work?

Accepted Answer

The laser targets melanin in hair follicles, generating heat that impairs future hair growth while protecting surrounding skin. This makes it highly effective for large areas like legs and bikini zones.

Question 3

How many sessions are needed for lower-body areas?

Accepted Answer

Most clients require 6-10 sessions, typically spaced every 6-8 weeks. Some areas may need additional treatments based on hair density, skin type, and hormonal factors.

Question 4

What should I expect during treatment? Will it hurt?

Accepted Answer

You may feel a mild snapping or stinging sensation, especially in denser hair areas like thighs. Cooling technology significantly reduces discomfort and most clients find it tolerable.

Question 5

How should I prepare before my lower-body laser treatment?

Accepted Answer

Avoid sun exposure or tanning for 2-4 weeks before your session.Shave the area 24-48 hours beforehand and don’t wax, pluck, or thread for up to 6 weeks.Ensure skin is clean and product-free on the day of treatment.

Question 6

What aftercare is required post-treatment?

Accepted Answer

•	Avoid hot showers, saunas, pools, exercise, and tight clothing for 24-48 hours.Use fragrance-free moisturiser and apply SPF 30+ daily.Avoid active skincare products around the treated area for at least 2 days.

Question 7

Are there any common side effects?

Accepted Answer

Mild effects like redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like feeling are usual and generally resolve within hours to a couple of days. Rare risks include pigmentation changes or irritation, which proper pre- and post-care helps minimise.

Question 8

How long before I see results on my legs or bikini line?

Accepted Answer

Hair shedding begins approximately 10-21 days after treatment. You’ll notice gradually finer and slower regrowth with each session.

Question 9

Will laser remove all hair permanently?

Accepted Answer

Laser provides permanent hair reduction, not complete removal. Most clients see 80-90% reduction. Any regrowth is finer and manageable. Occasional maintenance sessions (1-2 per year) may be recommended.

Question 10

Is lower-body laser safe for all skin tones and hair types?

Accepted Answer

Yes. At Thérapie Clinic, we use Cynosure Elite iQ laser that is safe for a wide range of skin tones, including darker types. However, hair that’s very light, grey, red, or fine may not respond effectively.

Question 11

What if I shave between treatments—will it impact results?

Accepted Answer

Shaving is encouraged. Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading, as they remove the hair follicle that the laser needs to target. You may shave as soon as 48 hours after treatment to reduce irritation.
