What to Expect During Your Laser Treatment Consultation

Greenhouse Spa • Jan 13, 2021

You’ve likely heard of the amazing results people are getting with laser treatments, such as getting an even skin complexion, ridding of unwanted face or body hair, or even body sculpting. There may be several reasons you haven’t considered laser treatments despite the inspiring before and after pictures or reviews.


Some of the most common objections are cost, repeat treatments, or fear of pain. This is why it’s so important to book your free consultation. Our expert laser treatment technician will take the time to show you exactly what the technology can do for you, answer all your questions or concerns, and help you feel comfortable and be able to walk away confident with your decision.


Here’s what you can expect from your free laser treatment consultation.


 

Arrival 

Arrive 10 minutes prior to your appointment so that you have time to fill out any health and medical forms. Providing this information doesn’t mean you have to commit to treatment; however, it does give your technician insight into what treatment method and duration is best for you. Speaking of time, consultations typically last about 30 minutes.

 

Address Any Concerns 

We are truly interested in helping you achieve your goals; so during your consultation, we will actively listen and answer your questions and address any concerns.


  • Some topics we’ll likely discuss with you include your
  • Skin type - the colour, age, or condition of your skin can impact the results of laser treatment; we’ll analyze your skin to ensure you’ll get the results you want
  • Hair type - some hair types see better results than others; our technician will analyze your hair type to make sure you’re an ideal candidate for treatment
  • Medications - some medications are photosensitive, which means treatment might not be ideal for you at this time
  • Medical history - certain health conditions could impact the results you’ll see from a laser treatment; our technician will review your medical history to make sure you’re an ideal candidate for the treatment you’re interested in

 

Recommend a Solution

After listening thoroughly, we will make a recommendation to help you reach your goal. We’ll discuss… 

  • What to expect
  • How long each procedure will take
  • How many treatment sessions are expected

 

Free Trial

Most people are concerned about the pain factor of a laser treatment. In fact, most people experience no pain! To help you feel more comfortable with what an actual treatment will feel like, we’ll perform a small trial so that you can experience firsthand what to expect.


Each person receiving a laser treatment will wear protective eyewear. You will still be able to see a flash of light, but your eyes will be completely covered. The laser technicians wear a type of eyewear, as well.

 

Discuss a Contract

Once you’re comfortable with your decision, we’ll discuss payment and review your contract for service. Please take your time reading the contract and don’t be afraid to ask questions! We want to make sure you are confident in your decision before leaving.


The last thing to do before you leave is
pre-book your first appointment!


That’s it! Literally a pain-free experience.


When you pre-book your first laser treatment session, here are some tips on what to expect at your first appointment:

  • During the treatment, all areas of the body that will not be lasered will be covered with clothing. Only the areas to receive laser treatment will be exposed. Much like massage, we use modesty towels to cover any area adjacent to the area being treated. We are always mindful of your comfort and your peace of mind. There won’t be any surprises as we will let you know ahead of time what to expect.
  • Shave whatever possible yourself. Shaving the full bikini area may be tough for some, but we encourage you to try. Patients are typically much more comfortable shaving themselves than when we have to shave them. 
  • We also ask that you are freshly showered or bathed with completely clean skin, without lotions, creams or fragrances of any kind before coming in. Following a treatment you may feel a little sensitive, but generally people just feel very clean and sleek.
  • You don’t need to wait for hair to grow in like waxing, you can continue shaving any hair you see (it will be reduced immediately).
