Your questions, my answers.

Because I never treat skin without examining it first. I look at your hair and skin, check for contraindications, tell you whether laser or electrolysis is right for you, and give you an indicative number of sessions. It is mandatory.

For laser, no: the information session is free of charge and does not include any treatment. For electrolysis, the information session costs €20, as it includes 5 minutes of treatment: we test directly on the area.

For laser, allow about twenty minutes. For electrolysis, the information session lasts no more than half an hour, including 5 minutes of treatment.

No. It works on dark hair and on many skin types, but not on white, grey, blonde or red hair. For those, electrolysis takes over: a precision technique, designed for targeted areas.

Laser for dark hair, on every area, including large ones. Electrolysis for the face and hormonal hair growth, precise areas, and white or light hair. Depending on the area and your hair, it is sometimes useful to combine the two techniques. I advise you at the information session.

Autumn and winter are ideal for areas exposed to the sun (legs, face, arms). Other areas can be treated all year round.

Yes. The centre is on the ground floor, step-free: it is accessible for people with reduced mobility. There is free private parking in front of the centre.

It is the question I am asked most, and a fair one. With laser, you feel a brief warmth, softened by the tip cooled to around 0 °C. With electrolysis, a brief pinprick sensation at each hair, more noticeable on the upper lip. The vast majority of my clients find the sensation perfectly bearable, and we take all the time needed, with breaks if you wish.

For sensitive areas, such as a full Brazilian, a light numbing cream is possible. We discuss it at the information session.

With laser, usually 6 to 10 sessions. The number depends on the area treated, the type and colour of the hair, your skin type, your age and your hormonal profile; the face, for women and men alike, and hormonal hair growth often need more. Electrolysis is a gradual treatment, generally over about a year. I give you an indication for your own case.

Laser only destroys the bulb when the hair is in its active growth phase (anagen). In the transition or resting phase, it only weakens it. Since not all your hairs are growing at the same time, several sessions are needed, 6 to 8 weeks apart.

With laser, 6 to 8 weeks at first, most often 8, never less. The intervals then lengthen as the hair becomes sparser, until you reach maintenance sessions. With electrolysis, every 1 to 3 weeks at first (the “clearing” phase for the area), then further and further apart.

From 10 minutes for an upper lip to over an hour for several large areas. Electrolysis is booked in blocks of 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes.

For laser, yes: 48 hours before the session (two days before). Hair cut close to the skin allows the energy to travel down to the bulb, rather than heating the shaft at the surface. For electrolysis, no: do not shave the area before the session, the hair must be visible to be treated. Do not tweeze or wax it either.

Keep the area out of the sun for 4 to 5 days, and avoid exercise for 2 to 3 days. Do not pull on the treated hairs: from the fourth day, a gentle scrub helps them fall out.

Disinfect the area with an alcohol-free disinfectant, then apply a non-greasy healing cream. For 24 hours, avoid make-up on the area, as well as saunas, steam rooms, jacuzzis and any intense heat. Slight redness or a few tiny scabs are normal and fade quickly. I will recommend suitable products at your first session.

No. For laser, stop waxing, tweezing and using an epilator 4 weeks before the first session, and throughout the treatment: both laser and electrolysis need the hair to be in its bulb. Shaving is fine for laser.

With laser, you can generally expect around 80% less hair after a full course of treatment; the remaining hairs are finer and lighter. Electrolysis goes further: each treated hair is permanently destroyed, which means that, over a full course of treatment, all the hair in an area can be removed. That is its great strength. As hormones can activate new hairs over the years, I recommend one or two maintenance sessions a year.

If I think laser will not work for you, I tell you before we start, and we do not start. During treatment this is rare: if results level off, I tell you that too. I will not sell you sessions you do not need.

From the very first session: regrowth is already different, and the treated hairs fall out 10 to 15 days later. The difference then becomes more noticeable session after session.

Yes, and the improvement is often significant. It generally takes more sessions and maintenance. We talk about it frankly at the information session, with your doctor if needed. Read the face and PCOS page →

Laser does not pick it up. Electrolysis, which does not depend on hair colour, treats it on the face and targeted areas. For a larger area, we discuss it together at the information session. Read the electrolysis page →

Yes, on areas not exposed to the sun. Your skin must not be tanned at the time of the session: no sun, sunbeds or self-tanner on the area. How long to wait depends on your skin type; I will tell you at the information session.

No, I prefer to wait. I advise resuming treatment once your hormonal balance has settled.

Some medication makes the skin sensitive to light. Let me know about any treatment, even a cream. If in doubt, I ask for your doctor’s opinion.

I do not pass the laser over them. I protect them or work around them.

Electrolysis is not possible with a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device. Laser is possible only with your cardiologist’s written consent, and never near the device.

I charge per session, with no subscription or package. With laser, one area usually needs 6 to 10 sessions: this is a guide, not a guarantee. You can add or remove an area along the way. See prices →

The same price as a session on the area concerned. During maintenance, I go over the whole area again: with laser, treating hairs one by one would make no sense. I generally recommend one or two maintenance sessions a year.

No. You pay for each session on the day, with no commitment.

No. My prices are the same for everyone, all year round.
