Frequently asked questions

What we get asked most

Laser hair removal

Does laser hair removal hurt?

The laser tip is cooled to −16 °C and the skin is protected at the moment of the shot. Most clients describe a brief tingling. On sensitive areas such as the bikini line, we apply cold before the session.

How many laser sessions are needed?

Expect 4 to 8 sessions on non-hormonal areas (legs, underarms) and around ten on hormone-driven areas (face and chest for women, chest and back for men). As a rule, about 80 % of hair is gone after 5 sessions, but this depends on hormone type, age and area.

Do packages have to be paid upfront?

No. Packages are paid session by session. We never ask anyone to sign a contract committing to sessions paid in advance.

Does the laser work on medium or dark skin?

Yes. The quadruple-wavelength diode laser combines four wavelengths, including 1064 nm YAG, which is safe on darker phototypes. It does not work on white hair, which no longer contains melanin.

How should I prepare for my laser session?

Shave the area 3 days before, avoid sun exposure and tanning beds, do not bleach the hair, and do not use tweezers or hair-removal cream between sessions.

Face

How many HIFU Genius sessions are needed?

It depends on the degree of laxity and the area. The number of sessions is set during the free consultation, and the prices shown are per session. The HIFU Genius protocol combines four machines in the same session, which is not the case with standard HIFU.

Is HIFU painful?

Today's machines are far more comfortable than the first generations. For sensitive skin or if you are apprehensive, HIFU Frozen — completely painless — is built into the protocol.

Permanent makeup

How long does permanent makeup last?

From 12 to 24 months depending on your skin, your sun exposure and your cell renewal rate. An annual touch-up revives the pigment.

Do you offer microblading?

No, deliberately. Microblading ages badly: the strokes thicken and the pigment eventually blurs. We work exclusively with a digital dermograph, for a sharper and longer-lasting result.

The clinic

Is the consultation free?

Yes. Body-contouring, cryolipolysis and rejuvenation consultations, as well as the laser hair removal consultation, are free and carry no obligation.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes, payment in instalments is available at the clinic. The terms are explained during the consultation.

How do I cancel or move an appointment?
