During your appointment a technician reviews your history, cleans and marks a small area, delivers a brief laser pulse, and documents settings. We observe the patch for immediate response and advise on delayed reactions within 24–72 hours before planning full treatment.

Most test patches show initial effects in minutes to hours; full evaluation may require monitoring for delayed pigment or irritation up to 48–72 hours. We'll instruct you what to watch and when to report any unusual changes.

Yes. The test patch is designed to assess how your specific skin tone and texture respond, helping predict risks like hyperpigmentation or poor efficacy so we can adjust settings or recommend alternative approaches.

You may feel brief warmth or slight stinging during the patch application. Most clients report minimal discomfort, and we use cooling and topical measures to reduce sensations if needed during both the test and full treatments.

If the patch shows no adverse reactions, you can usually book a full laser session the same day or within several days. If sensitivity appears, we'll recommend waiting and retesting with adjusted settings for safety.

Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and topical irritants on the patch area for 48–72 hours. Keep the site clean, skip harsh products, and report persistent redness, blistering, or unusual pain to BodyBrite immediately.
