Spring is in the air and your clients are ready to get their glow on. As the weather warms up, the demand for hair reduction, tattoo removal, and body treatments skyrockets. Here’s how you can help your clients look their best this season with the most in-demand treatments and cutting-edge devices that deliver results.
Smooth moves: Hair reduction treatments for every skin type
Not all skin is created equal, and that’s especially true when it comes to laser hair removal. The Fitzpatrick scale plays a key role in determining the best laser for each client.
Hair reduction and Fitzpatrick skin types
Fitzpatrick IV-VI: Darker skin tones require Nd Yag lasers, which can safely penetrate deeper layers without affecting the skin’s surface.
Fitzpatrick I-III: Lighter skin tones respond best to Alexandrite lasers, which are highly effective at targeting melanin in the hair.
Top treatment areas
Face: Think upper lip, chin, and sideburns for a smooth, polished look.
Body: Popular areas include the underarms, legs, bikini line, and back for beach-ready skin.
Prep and aftercare
Before treatment: Clients should skip sunbathing, self-tanners, and waxing for at least two weeks before their appointment.
After treatment: Sunscreen is a must! Encourage clients to avoid exfoliating or irritating the treated areas for a few days to ensure optimal results.

Body treatments: Tattoo removal and stretch mark solutions
Just like hair reduction, tattoo removal, and stretch mark reduction treatments need to be tailored to your client’s skin type.
Skin type matters when prescribing body treatments
Lighter skin types: Require more melanin absorption to target the hair bulb resulting in the use of the 755nm Alexandrite laser.
Darker skin types: Require deeper-reaching wavelengths to avoid pigmentation changes or surface damage.
Popular treatment zones
Tattoo removal: Clients often target arms, chest, back, and neck areas.
Stretch mark reduction: The stomach, thighs, and arms are common zones for stretch mark treatments, especially after pregnancy or weight loss.
Prep and aftercare
Before treatment: Make sure clients avoid tanning, skin-lightening products, and aggressive skincare routines.
After treatment: Hydration is key! Keep the skin moisturised and ensure clients use SPF to protect their skin from further damage.
