The Journey

Treatment Process / What to Expect

1

Consultation & Skin Assessment

What Happens

We begin with a consultation to understand your hair-growth concerns, treatment goals and medical history.

What to Expect

Your skin tone, hair characteristics and treatment area are assessed to determine whether OPT hair reduction is suitable for you.

2

Treatment Preparation

What Happens

The treatment area is cleansed and prepared before treatment.

What to Expect

You may be advised to shave the area beforehand, while avoiding waxing or plucking before your session so the hair follicle remains present for treatment.

3

Personalised OPT Treatment

What Happens

The OPT device delivers controlled pulses of light to the treatment area. The light energy is absorbed by the hair pigment and converted into heat, targeting the hair follicle to help reduce future hair growth.

What to Expect

Treatment settings are adjusted according to your skin tone, hair type, hair thickness and treatment area.

4

What You May Feel

What Happens

You may experience a mild snapping, warmth or tingling sensation during treatment.

What to Expect

Comfort levels vary between individuals and treatment areas.

5

After Treatment

What Happens

The treated area may appear slightly red or feel warm or sensitive immediately afterwards. These effects are generally temporary.

What to Expect

You can usually return to your normal daily activities, depending on the treatment area and your individual response.

6

Gradual Hair Reduction

What Happens

Hair does not disappear immediately after one session. Treated hairs may gradually shed, while other hairs may continue to grow because they are at different stages of the hair-growth cycle.

What to Expect

Multiple sessions are generally needed to achieve progressive hair reduction, with treatment intervals determined according to the treatment area and hair-growth cycle.

Gradual Hair Reduction

Expect progressive reduction rather than instant hair removal. Multiple sessions may be required.

Minimal Downtime

Most patients can resume their usual activities after treatment, subject to individual response.

Temporary Skin Sensitivity

Mild redness, warmth or sensitivity may occur after treatment and typically settles with time.

Personalised Settings

Treatment parameters are adjusted according to your skin and hair characteristics.

Maintenance May Be Needed

Hair growth can vary over time, and occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended.

Indications

Suitable For

Unwanted facial hair

Underarm hair

Arm and leg hair

Bikini and Brazilian area

Chest and back hair

Recurrent ingrown hairs

Men and women seeking permanent hair reduction

Safety Considerations

Contraindications & Recovery

Contraindications

OPT Hair Reduction may not be suitable for patients with active skin conditions or infections, recent tanning or sunburn, photosensitivity, certain medications, or other conditions that may affect treatment safety. A consultation and skin assessment are required before treatment.

Recovery

OPT Hair Reduction involves minimal downtime for most patients. Temporary redness, warmth or sensitivity may occur after treatment and usually settles within a short period.

Patients should protect treated areas from sun exposure, use appropriate sunscreen and follow personalised aftercare instructions.

Suitability, treatment settings, recovery and expected results vary according to your skin type, hair characteristics, treatment area and individual circumstances.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

01. How does OPT Hair Reduction work?

OPT uses controlled pulses of light that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair. The energy is converted into heat and targets the hair follicle, helping to progressively reduce future hair growth.

02. Is OPT the same as laser hair removal?

No. OPT is a light-based technology, whereas laser hair removal uses a specific laser wavelength. Both use light energy to target hair follicles, but they are different technologies.

03. Is the treatment painful?

Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snapping, warmth or mild tingling during the light pulses. Comfort varies according to the treatment area and individual sensitivity. Cooling may be used to improve comfort.

04. How many sessions will I need?

A course of treatments is usually required because hair follicles are in different stages of the growth cycle. The exact number and interval depend on your treatment area, hair characteristics, skin tone and individual response.

05. Will the hair disappear after one treatment?

Not usually. Treated hairs generally shed gradually over the following days or weeks, while hairs in other growth phases may require subsequent sessions.

06. Is the result permanent?

OPT is intended to provide long-term hair reduction, but it does not guarantee that every hair will be permanently eliminated. Some hair may regrow over time, and maintenance treatments may be recommended.

07. Can I shave between treatments?

Yes. Shaving is generally preferred between sessions. Avoid waxing, plucking or other methods that remove the hair from the root, as the follicle needs to remain present for light-based treatment.

08. Can I wax before my OPT treatment?

Waxing and plucking should generally be avoided before treatment because they remove the hair from the follicle. Your clinic will advise you when to stop these methods and how to prepare the treatment area.

09. Can OPT treat all skin and hair types?

Suitability depends on the specific OPT device, skin tone, hair colour, hair thickness and treatment settings. Darker or recently tanned skin may require particular caution because light energy is also absorbed by melanin in the skin. A consultation and skin assessment are important before treatment.

10. Does OPT work on blonde, grey or very light hair?

Light-based hair reduction generally works best when there is sufficient pigment in the hair to absorb the light. Very light, grey or white hair may respond poorly because it contains little or no melanin.

11. Can I have OPT if I have recently been in the sun or have a tan?

Recent tanning or significant sun exposure may increase the risk of unwanted skin reactions. Your treatment may need to be postponed until your skin has returned to its usual state. Always follow your doctor's specific advice.

12. Is there any downtime?

OPT generally involves minimal downtime. Mild redness, warmth, tenderness or a mild sunburn-like sensation can occur temporarily after treatment.

13. Can I return to work after treatment?

For most people, yes. OPT is non-invasive and many patients can return to their normal activities soon after treatment, provided there are no significant skin reactions.

14. Can I exercise or swim after treatment?

This depends on the treatment area and your skin's response. Your doctor may advise temporarily avoiding intense exercise, swimming, saunas, hot baths or excessive heat immediately after treatment, particularly if the area is sensitive.

15. Is OPT suitable for facial hair?

It may be suitable for certain facial areas, depending on your skin tone, hair characteristics and the specific treatment area. Facial hair can also be influenced by hormonal factors, so your doctor should assess the cause and expected response before treatment.

16. What happens if my hair grows back?

Some regrowth can occur over time. The hair may become less dense, finer or slower-growing, and maintenance sessions may be recommended depending on your individual response.

17. Can I have OPT during pregnancy?

Hair-reduction treatments are generally postponed during pregnancy because there is insufficient evidence to establish the safety of cosmetic light-based hair treatments during pregnancy. Discuss your circumstances with your doctor before treatment.

18. Is a consultation necessary before treatment?

Yes. A consultation allows your doctor to assess your skin tone, hair characteristics, treatment area, medical history and medications, and determine whether OPT is appropriate for you.

19. Why do I need multiple sessions?

Hair grows in different phases, and light-based hair reduction is most effective when the follicle is in an appropriate growth phase. Because not all hairs are in the same phase at the same time, multiple sessions are typically needed to achieve progressive reduction.
