THE SCIENCE LASER TECHNOLOGY Go Laser hair removal works by sending a laser beam to the hair follicle with enough energy to permanently disable the root without affecting the surrounding area. The result is permanent hair reduction. Simple to use, laser hair removal is suitable for unwanted face or body hair. Skin and hair contains a natural pigment called melanin.

GETTING STARTED PATCH TEST ✓ 24 hours before treatment check for any reaction by treating a small area first. The + and - buttons increase or reduce power levels. Treat several areas on each power level up to the maximum power level for your skin type (see table). If you feel any discomfort, the previous lower power level is the maximum power level you should use. © Copyright The Dezac Group Ltd. 2014 A slight redness may occur, but not always, within an hour of treatment.
How should I prepare my skin? Laser hair removal does not require any special skin preparations, although you should always ensure your skin is clean. Laser hair removal is most effective on pale skin so we recommend avoiding sunbathing, sun beds and fake tanning if possible. How should I prepare the hairs? Shave the areas to be treated. This ensures the laser goes directly to the hair root and avoids hair burning on the surface. © Copyright The Dezac Group Ltd.

AFTERCARE ADVICE How will my skin appear after the treatment? Generally no perceptible changes will be apparent. A slight redness after treatment may occur but will normally fade over 24 hours. Any localised redness after treatment is caused by the destruction of the hair follicles and is quite normal. However, if any redness remains after 24 hours this would indicate you have selected too high a power level for your skin type. Please refer to the “Patch Test” section.
AFTERCARE ADVICE How often can I repeat treatments? As long as the hair follicle or surrounding skin is not red, sore or inflamed, treatment can be repeated after 24 hours. Most people wait 3–4 weeks between treatments to see which hairs have been shed and to identify new regrowth. The timing for follow on treatments is not critical. Choose a time which is convenient for you. Avoid excessive treatment on the same region at one time. This may cause reddening and swelling.
