Question 1

Can laser hair removal help with strawberry legs?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal can help improve the appearance of strawberry legs by reducing hair growth and minimising the clogged pores and irritation often associated with shaving and ingrown hairs. Results vary from person to person, but many people notice smoother-looking skin over time.

Question 2

Can I wear leggings after laser hair removal?

Accepted Answer

It's best to avoid tight clothing, including leggings, for the first 24-48 hours after treatment, as the skin may feel slightly sensitive. Opting for loose, breathable clothing can help keep the treated area comfortable while it recovers.

Question 3

Does laser hair removal on the legs hurt?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 4

How long does full-leg laser hair removal take?

Accepted Answer

A full-leg laser hair removal session typically takes around 15 minutes, although treatment times may vary slightly depending on your personalised treatment plan.

Question 5

How long does laser hair removal last on the legs?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal offers long-lasting hair reduction. Following a recommended course of treatments, many people experience a significant reduction in hair growth, with any remaining hair often growing back finer and lighter. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to help preserve your results.

Question 6

How many laser hair removal sessions do I need for my legs?

Accepted Answer

A typical treatment course consists of 6-10 sessions, scheduled every 6-8 weeks. However, individual results vary, and some people may benefit from additional treatments depending on their hair growth patterns, skin type, and hormonal factors.

Question 7

What is half-leg laser hair removal?

Accepted Answer

Half-leg laser hair removal focuses on either the upper or lower legs, depending on your preferences and treatment goals. It's a popular option for those who want to target a specific area rather than treat the entire legs.

Question 8

Are there any common side effects?

Accepted Answer

Some people experience mild redness, swelling, or temporary sensitivity following treatment, which usually resolves within a few hours to a few days. Rare side effects, such as pigmentation changes or irritation, can occur but are uncommon when the recommended aftercare guidance is followed.

Question 9

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 10

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 11

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 12

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 13

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 14

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 15

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 16

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 17

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 18

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 19

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.
