About our treatmentsResults and expectationsAbout your appointmentLaser hair removalBooking and practical information

I don’t know which treatment suits me best. Can you help me?+

Of course! You don’t need to know exactly which treatment you need yourself.

During our intake we take the time to thoroughly map out your skin, wishes and any skin concerns. We also always carry out a skin analysis. This gives us extra insight into your skin, so we can inform you as fully as possible about the treatment options.

Based on this, we give you personal and honest advice. Sometimes another treatment turns out to suit you better than what you had in mind. We mainly look at what your skin needs and what is realistically achievable.

Is an intake always mandatory?+

Yes, at Fine LaserClinic we always start with an intake. We think it is important to get to know your skin well before carrying out any treatment.

During the intake we discuss your wishes, health and any skin concerns. We also always carry out a skin analysis. This gives us a complete picture of your skin, so we can advise you in a targeted way on the options, expected results and any points of attention.

Are you already a client with us, but have you not visited for more than two years, or has a lot changed in your health? Then we will schedule a short intake. This ensures your treatment still fits your situation well.

Why do you take a skin analysis during the intake?+

Every skin is different, and not everything is immediately visible on the surface. With a skin analysis we can examine your skin in more detail and map certain skin characteristics more accurately.

We combine the results of the scan with your wishes, skin condition and personal situation. This allows us to inform you as fully as possible and create a suitable treatment plan together.

Do you offer treatments for every skin type?+

We treat different skin types and skin conditions. Not every treatment is equally suitable for every skin type.

During the intake we carefully examine your skin and carry out a skin analysis. This helps us better determine which treatments are suitable and what we need to take into account.

Do you have experience with more pigmented skin?+

Absolutely! Since the start of Fine LaserClinic we have had the pleasure of treating a very diverse group of clients. Our equipment is set up so that we can offer a treatment for almost all indications and every skin type. We also keep learning, including about darker skin. One example is The Dark Skin course from HUYD Expertisecentrum

Can I combine several treatments?+

In many cases, yes! Some treatments even complement each other very nicely.

During the intake we look at which treatments suit your skin and wishes. We also discuss whether treatments can be combined or whether it is better to leave some time in between.

Are your treatments also suitable for men?+

Absolutely! Everyone is welcome at Fine LaserClinic. We treat both men and women and tailor every treatment to your personal wishes.

Can I have a treatment if I have sensitive skin?+

Often, yes. Having sensitive skin does not automatically mean you cannot have a treatment. Sometimes a treatment can actually help!

During your intake, we pay extra attention to your skin sensitivity, any skin reactions and the products you use. Together with the skin analysis, this helps us assess which treatment suits you best.

Can I have a treatment if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?+

That depends on the treatment. Some treatments can be carried out during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, while we prefer to postpone other treatments.

Always let us know in advance. That way we can discuss which options are available to you at that time.

How many treatments do I need to see results?+

That varies by treatment and by person. Some treatments show or feel a difference straight away, while others need a course to achieve the desired result.

During your intake, we discuss your wishes and look at what is realistically achievable. That way you know better in advance what to expect.

Will I see results straight after my treatment?+

With some treatments, yes, but not always. It depends on the treatment and how your skin or body responds to it.

Sometimes skin needs time to recover, or the result becomes visible gradually. We explain beforehand what you can expect, so you are not caught off guard.

Is the result of a treatment permanent?+

Not every treatment gives a permanent result. Some treatments provide long-lasting improvement, while others require maintenance.

Factors such as hormones, skin ageing, lifestyle and your personal skin condition can also affect the result.

We prefer to be honest about this and do not promise results we cannot guarantee.

What if I am not satisfied with the result?+

We think it is important that you leave with a good feeling. Do you have questions about the result, or is it different from what you expected? Under the heading feedback and complaints you can see how to get in touch with us.

Some results take time, but we are always happy to look at things with you and discuss what may be possible.

I am coming for the first time. What can I expect?+

How lovely that you are visiting us for the first time!

Your first appointment begins with a thorough intake. We take our time to get to know you, discuss your wishes and answer any questions you may have. Of course, there is time for a cup of coffee or tea.

We also carry out a skin analysis, so we can get as complete a picture as possible of your skin. We explain which treatments may be suitable, what you can expect and what a possible treatment course looks like.

You do not need to know exactly which treatment you want yet. We are happy to help you make a choice you feel comfortable with.

I have been with you before. Do I need to have another intake?+

Not always a full intake. Are you already known to Fine LaserClinic, but has your last visit been more than two years ago? Or have there been significant changes in your health? Then we will arrange a short intake.

We also carry out a skin analysis here, so we can reassess your current situation and make sure we can advise you properly and fully.

Does a treatment hurt?+

That depends on the treatment and your personal pain threshold. Some treatments you barely feel, while others may be a little more sensitive.

We explain beforehand what to expect and take your comfort into account during the treatment. Are you feeling nervous? Feel free to let us know, we are happy to take that into account.

For some treatments, it is also possible to use a numbing cream. That is certainly a nice option.

How long does a treatment take?+

That varies by treatment and by the area we are treating. Some appointments are quite short, while others need a little more time.

When you book your appointment, you can see roughly how long the treatment takes, so you can plan accordingly.

Can I go back to work straight after my treatment?+

After many treatments you can simply carry on with your daily activities. With some treatments, your skin may be temporarily red or sensitive and some recovery time may be needed. With treatments for skin improvement, recovery can take a little longer.

We will of course discuss this with you in advance, so you know whether there is anything you need to take into account.

May I wear make-up to my appointment?+

That depends on the treatment. For facial treatments, it is helpful if you arrive with clean skin, but if you are wearing make-up, that is usually not a problem. We cleanse the skin where necessary.

If any specific preparations are needed, you will receive them by email in advance.

May I bring someone with me to my appointment?+

Would you like to bring someone along? Often that is perfectly fine. Please contact us in advance so we can check whether we have enough safety goggles.

Can I have a treatment if I am taking medication?+

That depends on the medication and the treatment. Some medicines, for example, can affect how sensitive your skin is or how it heals.

Are you taking medication or do you have a medical condition? Always let us know during your intake. If there have been any changes to your medication or health since your intake, please let us know in advance so we can assess whether this affects your treatment.

How many laser hair removal treatments do I need?+

On average, 6 to 8 treatments are needed to achieve beautiful, long-lasting hair reduction. This can vary from person to person and depends on, among other things, your hair type, skin type, hormones and the treatment area.

Because hairs grow in different growth phases, several treatments are needed. We monitor your results during the course and adjust the treatment accordingly.

Is laser hair removal really permanent?+

Laser hair removal provides long-lasting reduction of unwanted hair growth. Many hairs may stay away for years after a successful treatment course, but we cannot guarantee that no hairs will ever return.

For example, hormonal changes can cause new hairs to develop. That is why we always advise extending the time between your treatments and eventually having one maintenance treatment a year.

Can I have a laser treatment during my period?+

Yes, absolutely! You can still be treated during your period.

For laser hair removal of the intimate area, we do ask you to shower beforehand and cleanse the treatment area thoroughly, so the skin is free of blood. We also advise using a tampon or menstrual cup during the treatment.

Can I have laser hair removal with dark skin?+

Yes, darker skin types can also be treated. At Fine LaserClinic we use, among other devices, the Nd:YAG, which is suitable for darker skin types.

Does laser hair removal also work on blonde or grey hair?+

Laser hair removal works best on hair with sufficient pigment. Dark hair therefore usually responds better than very light hair.

White, grey, red and very light blonde hairs are often not or less suitable for laser hair removal. Are you unsure about your hair colour? We are happy to look at this with you during your intake. And of course we have the test treatment, so together we can see whether results can be achieved.

Can I start laser hair removal if I have already been treated somewhere else?+

Certainly! Even if you have had treatments at another clinic, you are welcome with us.

During your intake, we discuss your previous treatments, look at your current hair growth and assess your skin. Based on this, we discuss what we can do for you.

How can I make an appointment?+

You can easily book an appointment via our online booking system.

If you are visiting Fine LaserClinic for the first time, please book an intake first. During this appointment we look together at your skin and wishes and discuss which treatment suits you best.

Are you already a client with us and unsure whether you need another intake? Feel free to get in touch.

Can I cancel or reschedule my appointment?+

That can of course happen! If you unexpectedly cannot make it, please let us know as soon as possible.

Please do keep our cancellation policy in mind, so we can offer the time that becomes available to someone else if necessary. You can find it on our website under cancellation policy.

Can I just come in for advice?+

Of course! You are very welcome for an intake, even if you are not yet sure whether you want a treatment.

We take the time to look at your skin, carry out a skin analysis and discuss the options available. That way you can make a decision calmly and well informed about what suits you.

Can I buy a gift voucher from you?+

Would you like to surprise someone with a little moment for themselves? You can purchase one via our gift voucher page. Once you have purchased the gift voucher, you can contact us, and if you like we can also make a physical gift voucher for you and wrap it nicely, so it becomes a real treat. It is also possible to purchase a skincare product; we can then gift-wrap it for you.
