Factors that can effect treatments:

The colour of the hair - there must be a concentration of colour in the hair to absorb the laser light. The treatment does not work on grey or blonde hair.

The skin colour - there needs to be a minimum of colour in the skin. Afro-Caribbean coloured skin contains so much pigment that the laser/VPL light is absorbed in the skin and not the hair. FAQ's

The hair - the hair needs to be just visible on the surface of the skin in order to indicate the position of the follicle. The shorter and more coarse the hair the better the treatment results. FAQ's

Any method of hair removal relies up on the hair growth cycle as the germinal matrix of the follicle can only be affected by treatment when in the ‘Anagen’ or growing phase of the cycle. Treatment schedules need to take this process into account, accordingly the timing of appointments is crucial to the success of treatment.

Medication - some medications can cause photosensitivity of the skin. These include some antibiotics and blood pressure/heart tablets. These medications do not exclude clients from treatments but a full list of medication should be asked for and disclosed by the patient to the treating clinician. Test shots are always advisable in order to gauge individual skin reaction.
