Will laser removal clinics be open from April 12? Reopening dates and new covid guidelines

LASER hair removal clinics have unfortunately been shut for all of 2021 due to the ever-changing coronavirus guidelines, but are they now open again from April 12?

Science of Laser Hair Removal in SLOW MOTION

Our beauty routines have been thrown utterly out of shape throughout lockdown, with many of us resorting to DIY treatments instead of waiting for the professionals. A number of different sectors reopened on April 12, from restaurants and bars to zoos and hairdressers, but are laser hair removal clinics included in the second segments of the government’s roadmap out of lockdown?

What can I expect from my treatments?

Unlike salons’ previous reopening from July 2020, treatments won’t be limited to certain areas.

The face will be okay to perform laser hair removal on, the same as any other body part.

Will laser removal clinics be open from April 12?

Yes! Finally, all laser and general beauty clinics will be allowed to reopen from April 12.

This is providing they follow all official government guidelines regarding coronavirus.

How will laser clinics work once they reopen?

Pulse Light Clinic, one of London’s leading laser hair removal clinics has shared the practices they will be following from now on, seeing as their three locations have just reopened for business.

Sorting out rebookings

The teams at every Pusle Light clinic will be getting in touch with any past customers to reschedule their bookings for a date in the near future.

They will be doing this via the phone, so make sure to keep an ear out.

This is likely to be the case with the vast majority of other businesses in this sector

You need to be on time, not early, but definitely not late

To limit the number of people in the practice, a business like Pulse Light Clinic is asking customers to ensure they don’t turn up too early or are late.

Customers should come alone unless necessary and they should only bring essential belongings.

Forms before your appointment

Clinics should be taking extra care when tracking their customers and their health before they attend the appointment.

Pulse Light Clinic is sending its customers an email with a medical history form 24hrs before their appointment.

This has to be returned to the clinic, either via email or they can bring it along with them on the day of the appointment.

Extra PPE, sanitisation and temperature taking

When they arrive at the lobby, customers are greeted by a staff member in personal protective equipment (PPE), and are asked to sanitise their hands and put on a face mask, before having their temperature taken.

Following this, they will be told to wait in the reception area before being called into the appointment room.

Unless the treatment for laser hair removal is on the face, the customer will need to keep their face masks on at all times.

What are the risks of reopening?

The risks involved in laser clinics are very similar to that of any beauty salon which uses electrical equipment.

Laser clinics work on the skin and this means they will need to adhere to guidance on machine cleanliness, disinfecting client areas regularly and the general ventilation of the salon.
