Laser hair removal
Questions about laser hair removal
What is laser hair removal?
Laser light is absorbed as heat by the pigment in the hair follicle. The follicle is damaged, after which the hair sheds and hair growth is permanently reduced.
Which laser does RB Clinics use?
We use the LightSheer Desire diode laser. Its HighSpeed handpiece treats larger areas efficiently, while the ChillTip handpiece cools the skin during treatment.
Am I suitable for laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal suits most people who want to reduce unwanted hair. Very light blonde, grey, white or red hair contains too little pigment to treat effectively. We assess this during your free consultation.
How many treatments will I need?
On average, six treatments are needed, depending on your hair type and treatment area. Hair grows in different phases, so not every follicle can be treated in one session.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
The treatment is not completely painless, but is generally less painful than waxing or epilating. Each pulse can feel briefly like an elastic band against the skin. Cooling helps keep treatment comfortable.
Is laser hair removal safe?
Laser hair removal is safe when performed correctly by an experienced specialist. We first assess your skin and hair type. The LightSheer Desire is FDA and CE approved.
How should I prepare?
Shave the treatment area 24 hours beforehand and avoid sun exposure. Do not wax or epilate during the treatment course.
What aftercare is needed?
Avoid direct sunlight and saunas after treatment, and use sunscreen on the treated area. Your specialist will give you personal aftercare advice.
Fat freezing
Questions about fat freezing
What is fat freezing?
Fat freezing, or cryolipolysis, cools fat cells in a defined area. The cells crystallise and are gradually cleared by the body. Initial results are usually visible after three to five weeks.
Does fat freezing work?
Cryolipolysis is based on research showing that fat cells are sensitive to controlled cooling. During your consultation we discuss what result is realistic for your body.
Am I a suitable candidate?
BMI is an important factor. Treatment is generally not suitable with a BMI of 32 or higher. We also discuss your health, medical history and goals before treatment.
How long does treatment take?
A Clatuu Alpha treatment takes about fifty minutes. Including preparation, marking and massage, you will be at the clinic for around one hour.
Is there downtime?
There is no scheduled downtime. Most clients return to their usual daily activities straight away.
Which areas can be treated?
Areas from chin to knee may be suitable, including the double chin, arms, abdomen, back, love handles, hips and knees.

Skin tightening
Questions about skin tightening
How does a skin tightening treatment work?
We apply a cream and move an applicator in circles over the treatment area. The treatment feels warm and relaxing. Duration depends on the area.
When will I see results?
Some firming may be visible after the first treatment. For a longer-lasting result, we generally recommend a course of six sessions.
How many treatments will I need?
A course of six treatments generally provides the most effective and lasting result, with approximately five to ten days between sessions.
Is there downtime?
No recovery time is normally needed, because the treatment does not intentionally damage the skin.
Which areas can be treated?
The Indiba Edna Pro Max can be used on a wide range of areas on the face and body. We advise you personally during the consultation.
The free consultation
Questions about the consultation and payment
What can I expect from the free consultation?

Can I pay in instalments?
