Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles, reducing hair growth over time. The pigment in the hair absorbs the light, which damages the follicle and prevents future growth.

2. Is laser hair removal safe for all skin types?

Yes. At Radiance Beauty Clinic, we use medical-grade Duetto Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers, which are safe and effective for all skin tones and hair types.

3. How many sessions will I need?

Most clients need 6–8 sessions for optimal results, depending on the treatment area, hair type, and individual hair growth cycle. Maintenance sessions may be required over time.

4. Does laser hair removal hurt?

Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snap or warm flick on the skin. The discomfort is minimal and well-tolerated, especially with our advanced cooling systems.

5. Can I shave or wax between treatments?

You can shave between sessions but should avoid waxing, plucking, or threading, as these methods remove the hair from the root, which is necessary for the laser to work effectively.

6. Are there any side effects?

You may experience temporary redness, mild swelling, or slight sensitivity in the treated area. These typically subside within a few hours. Our team will provide full aftercare guidance.

1. What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing treatment that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate the top layers of skin, revealing a brighter, smoother, and more even-toned complexion.

2. What concerns can chemical peels treat?

• Chemical peels can improve:
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne and acne scars
• Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
• Uneven texture or dull skin
• Enlarged pores
  
  3. Are chemical peels suitable for all skin types?

We offer a range of peels, including gentle and medical-grade options, suitable for all skin types. A thorough skin consultation will ensure the treatment is tailored to your needs and skin tone.

4. Is there any downtime after a chemical peel?

Downtime varies by peel strength. You may experience mild redness, flaking, or peeling for a few days. Stronger peels may require more recovery. We’ll advise you on post-treatment care and what to expect.

5. How often should I get a chemical peel?

For best results, a course of 3–6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, is recommended. Your therapist will create a personalised plan based on your skin goals.

6. Can I wear makeup after a peel?

It’s best to avoid makeup for 24–48 hours after treatment to allow your skin to heal and breathe. We’ll guide you on when it's safe to resume your skincare and makeup routine.

1. What is semi-permanent makeup (SPMU)?

SPMU is a cosmetic tattooing technique that enhances your natural features by implanting pigment into the upper layers of the skin. It offers long-lasting definition for areas such as the eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips, giving you a polished look without daily makeup application.

2. What areas can be treated with SPMU?

At Radiance Beauty Clinic, we offer SPMU for:

• Eyebrows (microblading, powder brows, combination brows)
• Eyeliner (top, bottom, or both)
• Lips (lip blush or full lip tint)

3. How long does semi-permanent makeup last?

SPMU typically lasts 12–24 months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Periodic top-up sessions are recommended to maintain the colour and shape.

4. Is the procedure painful?

Discomfort is minimal. We use high-quality numbing agents to ensure the treatment is as comfortable as possible. Most clients describe the sensation as a light scratching or tingling.

5. What can I expect during healing?

You may experience slight redness, swelling, or flaking for the first 5–7 days. The colour may appear darker initially and will soften as it heals. Full healing typically occurs within 4–6 weeks.

6. Is SPMU safe?

Yes, when performed by a trained and certified professional using sterile equipment and high-quality pigments. At Radiance, your safety and hygiene are always a top priority.

7. Who is not suitable for SPMU?

1.What’s the difference between Botox and fillers?

Fillers: 6–18 months (varies by area and product)
