Pre-Treatment Instruction

Pre-Shave Guidelines

Shave the area to be treated ONE day before your appointment
Use a new 3-blade razor (NOT CLIPPERS)
Shave with aloe vera or perfume-free/hypoallergenic shaving products
Take your time and ensure good lighting
If you make any cuts, contact CleanSlate Laser Clinic (treatment may need to be postponed)

For Brazillian/Bikini Area

If you want to keep a hair patch, shave around this area to indicate the area you want to preserve

Please note: CleanSlate Clinic does not offer shape sculpting as it's impossible to attain the level of accuracy which may be desired

Post-Treatment Care

After your treatment, you'll leave with a sterile dressing over the site. Follow these instructions carefully:

Immediately After Treatment

A mild "sunburn-like" effect or pinkness in the treated area is normal but rare and usually passes quickly
This isn't real sunburn, only heat permeating back out through the skin

Between Treatments

ABSOLUTELY NO WAXING OR PLUCKING FROM NOW ON! (Common Mistake #1)

You can shave between treatments if necessary, but wait at least 48 hours after treatment

Future Considerations

If planning tattoo/permanent make-up or implants in/on an area after hair removal, wait at least 12-18 months
Do not assume all hair will be gone after the minimum treatment course

Treatment Schedule & Results

Treatment Frequency

Do not stop coming when your hair stops growing (Common Mistake #2)

You will need a minimum of 6-8 treatments spaced one month apart (28-35 days to be exact)

Facial hair can be treated at more regular intervals as it grows much faster

After 4 treatments, we will assess the hair and determine if more monthly treatments are needed
Once satisfied, you'll schedule a top-up appointment in 2-3 months

What to Expect

Each treatment removes 10-15% of the hair
Most people (80-90%) are happy with the result after 6-8 treatments
Facial hair on men is the most resilient and may require more treatments
Results depend on your suitability, number of treatments, age, hormones, ancestry, medications, and medical conditions
Body hair (thinner/softer) typically responds faster than pubic hair (coarser)

Top-up Treatments

Some hair can remain dormant for long periods or emerge at certain life stages
We can only target actively growing hair follicles

Periodic top-up treatments are beneficial for maintaining results

Special considerations apply for conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), where a maintenance approach may be used

Expected Results Timeline

While some clients see a noticeable difference after their first treatment, real results typically become apparent around the thirdtreatment. We start on lower settings and increase as you progress through your course to ensure skin safety and comfort. Thisapproach means results may be slower at first but will improve dramatically over time.
