Yourr Journey with wilmslow laser Clinic
Step 1 - Consultation
Consultation at Wilmslow Laser Clinic
At Wilmslow Laser Clinic, every treatment begins with a comprehensive laser consultation in Wilmslow, Cheshire. This essential first step ensures your treatment is safe, effective, and fully tailored to your skin type, hair type, and individual goals.
Our consultations are designed to give you complete confidence before starting any laser treatment, with expert guidance and a personalised approach from the very beginning.
What Happens During Your Laser Consultation?
During your in clinic consultation at our Wilmslow laser clinic, we will:
- Carry out a detailed skin and hair assessment
- Review your medical history and suitability
- Discuss your concerns, goals, and expectations
- Recommend the most suitable treatment options
Whether you are considering laser hair removal in Wilmslow, skin rejuvenation, pigmentation treatment, or other advanced laser procedures, your treatment plan will be bespoke, results focused, and tailored entirely to you.
Can Any Skin Type Have Laser Hair Removal?
Yes. Thanks to advanced medical-grade Lynton laser technology, laser hair removal is suitable for a wide range of skin tones and hair types.
During your consultation, we carefully assess your skin using the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale to ensure the safest and most effective laser settings are selected specifically for you.
The Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale is a medically recognised classification system that identifies how different skin types respond to sun exposure. It allows us to customise laser treatments accurately, maximising results while prioritising safety.
Skin Types:
- Type I: Always burns, never tans
- Type II: Usually burns, sometimes tans
- Type III: Sometimes burns, gradually tans
- Type IV: Rarely burns, tans easily
- Type V: Very rarely burns, darker skin tone
- Type VI: Never burns, deepest skin tone
Patch Test
At Wilmslow Laser Clinic, a patch test is a vital step before starting our laser treatments. This ensures your treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to your individual skin type.
During your patch test appointment at our Wilmslow laser clinic, a small area of skin is treated using medical grade laser technology. This allows us to assess your skin’s response, select the correct laser settings, and minimise the risk of irritation or adverse reactions.
A patch test is recommended for all clients, those with sensitive skin, recent sun exposure, or changes in medical history. Following your patch test, your skin is monitored for a short period before your full treatment can safely begin.
Treatment
Laser treatment works by delivering controlled energy into the targeted area, allowing us to precisely treat the hair follicle or skin concern without damaging the surrounding skin. This makes laser technology highly effective for laser hair removal, skin rejuvenation, pigmentation reduction, and other advanced aesthetic treatments.
Each laser treatment begins with a full professional consultation and patch test, ensuring the correct settings are chosen for your skin type and tone. We tailor every treatment plan to maximise results while prioritising safety and comfort.
