It’s about making sure that we understand your skin type, how your skin reacts to the sun, and any medication you use, or health issues you have, so that we can create a safe treatment plan just for you and get the best results possible.

A consultation and patch test is a safety check – and we’re all about ensuring that we offer the best and safest experience for all our customers.  It gives you the chance to ask questions, to experience how laser treatment feels and be sure that you are totally comfortable with the whole process. That means that when you do come in for your sessions, it will be super-quick, no fuss and you’ll be getting on with the rest of your day in no time at all. ​

Step 1 – Welcome to Healing Oasis Wellness and Laser Clinic .. Firstly, if you’ve never visited us before it’s a chance to see our clinic and meet the team. We’re really proud of our clinic! It’s so easy to park right outside the door and we’ve made the décor super-relaxing. Our aim is to provide a little oasis of calm so that you always leave us feeling great.

Step 2 – We’re here to listen .. At your consultation we’ll be listening really carefully to you about what you want to achieve, and how you currently remove unwanted hair. We’ll explain all about the laser technology and a few simple dos and don’ts that will make your future treatments as effective as possible. Ask us any questions about laser hair removal technology. We just love talking about it!

Step 3 – Checking your skin and hair type .. Your natural coloring, the color of your hair and skin, will have an impact on the laser hair removal treatment plan that we design just for you. Laser energy targets the color (or pigment) in your hair, so we have to program the machine settings to get the best results for different skin and hair types. Our technician will look at the areas you want treating and ask you how easily you tan or burn in the sun. The Candela GentleMax Pro Laser or Clarity II Laser, which we use, has lots of options and settings to ensure that laser treatment is safe and effective for all skin and hair types. The information we learn at your consultation helps us set the machine correctly for you at your first full appointment.

Step 4 – A health questionnaire .. We will give you a health questionnaire to complete. Everything you tell us is completely confidential – just as it would be if you visited a hospital or your doctor. We need to know about your medical history and any medications you are taking. There are a handful of health conditions which might mean it’s not the right time for you to have laser hair removal. Safety is always our prime concern, but we also want to make sure that you get the very best results in the quickest time. If there is a reason why laser hair removal won’t work very well, we’ll tell you. 

Step 5 – The patch test .. We think that before you commit to a course of treatments, you need to know how it feels and experience the results. Our technician will shave a small area of skin on the part of your face or body that you want treated and then use the laser on that area. In the unlikely event that your skin does react, any problems will be minimal because only a small area of skin has been treated. A patch test is also a way for the technician to check if the laser settings need adjusting for future appointments to get the very best results for you. We’ll speak to you in two days after your patch test and get your feedback.

Step 6 – We’re all done! So, you’ve sailed through the one-to-one laser hair removal consultation and now you can look forward to the treatments that are going to take away the stress and hard work of staying hair-free. We think it’s well worth spending that time to make sure that laser hair removal is right for you, right now, and to help you get the best results.
