Plainly worded notes from a working clinic.
Things clients ask about often enough that they're worth writing down. The diode in plain English. PCOS without hedging. Aftercare protocols you can take with you. No marketing.
Diode vs IPL, the actual difference.
Two technologies that get sold under the same word. What "laser" really means, why the wavelength matters, and how to know what your clinic is running.
PCOS and laser, an honest timeline.
What ten to twelve sessions actually look like, why the spacing changes mid-course, and what "maintenance" means once you're done. Without the brochure language.
The 24 hours before your laser session.
Shave, don't tweeze, avoid retinoids for a week, mind your tan. A printable checklist for the day before, the morning of, and the hour after.
What a Fitzpatrick assessment actually checks.
Six skin-tone types, two questions about how you tan, one patch test. The five minutes that tell us what settings keep you safe.
Why we don't run upfront packages.
The mechanic that turns clinics into showrooms — what it costs you, what it costs us, and why "pay per session" is the harder business model to run.
Hot wax versus strip wax, how to choose.
One grips the hair only. One grips the skin too. They're not interchangeable — and the right pick depends on which area, your pain threshold, and what you've used before.
A clinic-grade aftercare protocol for laser, week by week.
SPF 30 isn't a default — for laser-treated skin it's a non-negotiable for 4 weeks. What we tell every client, on a single page.
Six things that aren't on the brochure.
Free patch tests, no-expiry courses, the 24-hour cancellation rule, refer-a-friend, the consultation length, and what we say no to. Worth the read before you book.
