Laser isn’t always the right answer.
Being clear about when it suits and when it doesn’t matters more than selling you a course of sessions.
Often a good fit
Larger or heavily saturated areas of old pigment
Darker pigments that have held their density
Work that needs substantial lightening before anything new
Shapes that sit outside your natural brow line
When we’d suggest otherwise
Very small areas, where saline is often kinder
Certain pigment colours that respond poorly to laser
Skin that needs time to recover before further work
Cases where the result you want can be achieved without removal
What actually happens.
Consultation and patch test
Helen assesses the pigment, its depth and colour, and your skin. A patch test is carried out before any full session so we can see how your skin responds.
The session
Sessions are short. Most clients describe the sensation as sharp but brief. The area is treated, soothed and dressed before you leave.
Healing
The area will be tender and may scab. Aftercare matters here more than almost anywhere else — picking or premature makeup can affect the result and the skin.
Spacing and sessions
Sessions are spaced several weeks apart to let the body clear the pigment between visits. Helen will tell you honestly how many are likely — and that estimate can change as we see how your skin responds.
Removal is a process, not an appointment. Anyone promising one session is not describing how pigment behaves.
Find out whether laser is right for you.
Bring your existing work to a consultation and Helen will assess it honestly — including telling you if laser is not the right route.
