Test Patch - Laser Treatments

A laser test patch is performed to assess how your skin responds to a specific laser before proceeding with a full treatment. A small area of skin is treated using conservative settings to evaluate tolerance, healing response, and pigment reaction. Test patches are commonly performed prior to laser hair removal and other laser treatments, particularly for patients with higher Fitzpatrick skin types, recent sun exposure, or when using a laser for the first time. This helps ensure safety and allows treatment settings to be appropriately customized for your skin. Results are typically assessed over several days before scheduling a full treatment.
