Everything you need to know before and after your laser treatment

Medical & Safety Information

Professional, patient, and precise — never rushed

Why We Prioritise Safety

At one2one Laser Clinic, your skin’s safety is our top priority. Whether you’re visiting for tattoo removal or laser hair removal, understanding how to prepare — and what to avoid — ensures the safest and most effective results. We take a steady and professional approach, never rushing treatments or taking shortcuts. Every client is assessed individually, and we perform test patches where needed. Our focus is long-term results, not quick turnover — because your skin deserves the best care possible.

Two different lasers — each designed for your specific needs

Our Laser Systems

We use two advanced laser systems: the Ares Lite (Class 1) for hair removal and the PicoKing II (Class 4) for tattoo removal. Each laser has its own safety requirements and treatment guidelines.

Perfect for laser hair removal, even after a holiday

Ares Lite (Class 1 Laser) — Safe for All Skin Types

The Ares Lite is a gentle, non-invasive Class 1 laser suitable for all skin tones — even tanned skin. Because it’s low risk, treatments can safely continue year-round, provided the skin is not sunburned or irritated. It automatically adjusts for your skin type to ensure maximum comfort and safety.

Powerful precision, but with stricter safety rules

PicoKing II (Class 4 Laser) — Advanced Tattoo Removal

The PicoKing II is a high-performance, medical-grade laser designed to remove tattoo ink at ultra-short pulse durations. Because it’s a Class 4 laser, it requires extra precautions. The skin must not be tanned, recently sun-exposed, or treated with fake tan. We recommend waiting at least 4 weeks after sun exposure and 10 days after using fake tan before treatment.

Always tell us about your medications or skin concerns

Medications & Health Conditions

Certain medications and health conditions can increase skin sensitivity. Please inform us if you’re taking photosensitising drugs (like some antibiotics or retinoids), have skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis, are pregnant, or have a history of scarring or poor wound healing.

Preparation is key to safe, effective results

Before Your Appointment

  • Arrive with clean, product-free skin.

  • Shave the area if necessary (for hair removal).

  • Avoid alcohol or recreational drugs for 24 hours.

  • Stay hydrated and eat something light before treatment.

  • Avoid sun exposure or tanning beds as advised for your treatment type.

How to care for your skin post-laser

After Your Treatment

  • Avoid sun exposure, hot baths, or saunas for 48 hours.

  • Keep the area clean and dry.

  • Use SPF 50+ once the skin has healed.

  • Tattoo removal: apply a healing ointment twice daily until healed.

  • Hair removal: moisturise gently and avoid exfoliating for 3 days.
