Basically i have my first treatment in a few days but as i have my summer holiday in 5 weeks im not sure whether i should go ahead.
I phoned the clinic and they said it would be fine and i can go for my 2nd treatment[in 5 weeks].
Is that too soon or should i have my first treatment before i leave for my holiday??
Thanks

5 weeks is too shorter time between treatments as there would not be enough hair. You could still kill some, but not nearly as much as you would kill after 8 weeks.

Are you asking because you’re planning to tan? Or you’re just asking about intervals? It’s better to wait longer. So if the choice is at 5 weeks or 10 weeks, go with 10.

Yes i was basically trying to fit in 2 treatments before i leave, but now that i know it should be around every 10 weeks i’ll wait.

The woman had the cheek to say to me “oooooh but theres plenty of time, you should come… i’ll book you in now etc etc.” (with only 4 1/2 weeks until i leave)… what a cow!

-by the way do you think its best to go a week before i leave just in case the nurse misses areas?

Thanks Benji and lagirl!

If they miss areas, you should be able to see those spots about 2 weeks after the treatment and many clinics offer a free touchup for that (you shouldn’t be paying for a full treatment to touch up areas they missed).
