Consultation & Free Patch Test
Why a Laser Hair Removal Patch Test is Important ?
A patch test is a critical part of the laser hair removal process for several reasons:
- Customised Settings: It helps determine the most effective laser settings for your specific skin and hair type.
- Safety Assurance: It identifies any potential adverse reactions on a small area before full treatment.
- Effective Results: Ensures that the laser treatment is tailored to deliver the best possible results for you.
What to Expect During Your Patch Test
During your initial consultation at Pure Skin Beauty, our practitioner will explain the patch test procedure and answer any questions you might have. The test involves applying the laser to a small area of your skin, usually on the part you wish to treat. This allows us to observe how your skin reacts to the laser and adjust the settings accordingly.
To prepare for your laser hair removal patch test, follow these simple steps:
- Shave the area to be treated at least 24 hours before your appointment.
- Avoid sun exposure or tanning beds for at least two weeks before the test.
- Do not apply any lotions, creams, or deodorants to the area on the day of the test.
- Inform your practitioner of any medications you are currently taking.
Following the patch test, our practitioner will contact you to discuss the results. If no adverse reactions occur, we will schedule your first full laser hair removal session. This careful approach ensures that your treatment is both safe and effective, tailored precisely to your needs.
- Feedback: Share any reactions or concerns with your practitioner.
- Scheduling: Arrange your first treatment session if the patch test results are satisfactory.
- Aftercare: Follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner to maintain skin health.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a laser hair removal patch test?
A laser hair removal patch test is a preliminary procedure where a small area of your skin is exposed to the laser. This test helps determine the most effective laser settings for your specific skin and hair type and checks for any adverse reactions before proceeding with full treatment.
How long after the patch test can I start my laser hair removal treatment?
If there are no adverse reactions to the patch test, you can typically start your full laser hair removal treatment 48 hours after the test. This waiting period allows any potential reactions to surface and be assessed.
Are there any side effects of a laser hair removal patch test?
Side effects from a patch test are usually minimal and temporary. You might experience slight redness or swelling in the tested area, which should subside within a few hours. If you notice any unusual reactions, contact your practitioner immediately.
Is the patch test painful?
Most clients report minimal discomfort during the patch test. The sensation is often described as a mild tingling or snapping feeling. Any discomfort usually subsides quickly after the procedure.
Do I need to pay for the patch test?
At Pure Skin Beauty, we offer free patch tests as part of our consultation process. This allows us to ensure the treatment is suitable for you without any additional cost.
