Definitive laser hair removal session and anti-ageing treatments in Saillagouse, Pyrénées-Orientales
A definitive laser hair removal session or NIR anti-ageing care follows several clear steps to balance protocol effectiveness and skin comfort.
Every appointment is a chance to adjust settings as your skin, hair and goals evolve.
1. Consultation before the session
The session always starts with a discussion to assess your skin, hair and the area or areas to treat.
This step checks for contraindications (photosensitising medicines, active skin conditions, pregnancy, recent sun exposure, etc.) and defines a suitable protocol.
2. Skin preparation
For laser hair removal, the area should be shaved about 24 hours before the session. The skin must be clean, with no makeup, creams or self-tanner.
Avoid sun and UV exposure in the days before treatment. If needed, some preparation can be done on site to optimise conditions for the session.
3. During the session
Depending on the protocol, the session is laser hair removal or NIR technology. The diode laser acts on the hair follicle to gradually reduce hair, while NIR light targets skin quality and firmness.
Settings (energy, pulse duration, sweep speed) are adjusted to the area, hair density and your skin phototype. A cooling system helps keep you comfortable during treatment.
Session length depends on the areas treated : from a few minutes for a small zone to several tens of minutes for larger surfaces.
4. After the session and recommendations
Right after the session, slight redness or a feeling of warmth may appear : these reactions are usually short-lived.
A soothing product may be applied to calm the skin. You receive tailored advice for the hours and days ahead : sun protection, avoiding excessive heat, suitable moisturising, and more.
The schedule for follow-up sessions is set according to the area and treatment type, respecting the skin’s natural rhythm and hair cycles.
How many sessions should you plan ?
For laser hair removal, a course usually includes 8 to 10 sessions spread over several months, so hairs are treated at the right stage of the growth cycle.
For NIR care, the number of sessions depends on the area and goal (radiance, firmness, maintenance). A protocol is agreed with you at the initial consultation.
