Consultation and Patch Test

Why is it Important?

Before starting any treatment, a consultation and patch test appointment is required to ensure the treatment is suitable for you.

​

This appointment allows Bedford Laser Clinic to

• Assess your skin type, hair type and treatment goals.

• Explain the treatment in full.

• Answer any questions or concerns you may have.

• Perform a patch test to check your skin’s reaction to the laser and ensure the treatment is suitable for you.

 

What to Expect

• Discussion

We’ll discuss your treatment goals, medical history and any factors that might affect the procedure. This is your chance to ask questions and learn about the process.

• Patch Test

A small area of your skin will be tested with the laser to ensure there are no adverse reactions. This only takes a few minutes.

• Personalised Plan

Based on the consultation and patch test results, we’ll create a tailored treatment plan, including pricing and session intervals.

 

How to Prepare

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning products on the area being tested for at least two weeks before your appointment.

• Do not use hair removal methods like waxing or plucking in the area; shaving is fine.

• Let us know about any medications or skin conditions in advance.

 

Duration & Cost

• The appointment typically lasts 15–30 minutes.

• A consultation and patch test appointment is complimentary. However, a £10 booking fee is required, which will be redeemable off your first session. Should you fail to turn up or cancel within 48 hours, the charge will not be redeemable.
