Laser Hair Removal (Stomach)

1. Your clinician assesses your skin and the stomach, and agrees the plan with you.
2. The area is cleansed and you are given protective eyewear.
3. The laser is passed over the area in short pulses. Most people feel warmth or a light snapping sensation.
4. A soothing product and sun protection are applied, and you receive aftercare advice.

The area may look red, like mild sunburn, for a few hours. Avoid the sun, heat and exercise for a day or two.

Most people need a course of sessions, spaced several weeks apart. The number depends on your hair and skin type, and your clinician agrees it with you before you start.

Suitability is confirmed at your assessment. Laser treatment is not carried out during pregnancy, over broken or infected skin, or soon after sun exposure or a tan. Tell us about any medication, especially anything that makes your skin sensitive to light, and about any history of keloid scarring.
