Pre-shaving and shaving

What to do if hair is left unshaven

With the exception of hard-to-reach areas such as the back, nape of the neck, and O-line, if you arrive at the clinic without having shaved, or if more than 30% of the area remains unshaved, we will charge a flat fee of 5,000 yen (tax included).

Please understand that the treatment time is determined by the details of your contract.

Free of charge for areas that are hard to shave yourself (back, nape, O-line)

Shaving of areas that are difficult to reach on your own is provided free of charge.

Why we ask you to shave before hair removal

1: To achieve effective hair removal

Medical hair removal works by delivering heat energy to the hair root. If the hair is long, the heat energy may not reach the root sufficiently, which can reduce effectiveness and work to your disadvantage.

2: To reduce the risk of burns

Medical hair removal generates heat by reacting to dark objects. If the hair is long, heat is also generated at the skin's surface, increasing the risk of surface burns.

Timing for pre-shaving

We recommend shaving the night before or the morning of your treatment. If you shave too far in advance, the hair may grow back by the time of your session.

*It's fine to shave only the area to be treated.

Recommended shaving methods

We recommend using a commercially available electric shaver.

How to shave the VIO area

Because the hair along the V-line is thick, shaving without care can cause razor burn and make the treatment impossible.

For this reason, we recommend shaving carefully as follows:

First, trim the hair short with scissors, then shave carefully while pulling the skin taut.
