No. Eligibility depends on the exact hair applicator and its device guidance, alongside an assessment of your skin and recent sun exposure. Auralia must confirm suitability; a patch test or a statement about a different Venus treatment does not automatically make hair reduction appropriate.

Shaving may be part of preparation, but the exact timing and area should be confirmed with Auralia. Tell the team which area you want treated and follow their instructions rather than assuming every appointment uses the same shaving schedule.

Hair does not all grow in the same phase, so a course is usually needed. Manufacturer guidance commonly describes six to ten visits, with approximately four to six weeks between facial visits and four to eight weeks for body areas. Our aesthetician adjusts the schedule to your hair growth and response.

The aim is long-term reduction in hair growth, not a guarantee that every hair will disappear permanently. Response varies and some regrowth or maintenance visits may occur. Discuss realistic expectations for your hair type and treatment area.

Avoid tanning and follow the recommended sun protection and skincare. The manual advises avoiding hot baths and massage on the area for the first two days. Our aesthetician will confirm when exercise, heat-based activities and products are suitable for your skin.
