Why Battersea chooses Melatone

Three things every Battersea laser clinic should be doing.

01

The right wavelength for your skin.

Most Battersea and Clapham laser clinics use Alexandrite or Diode-only platforms. For Fitzpatrick V and VI, that is the difference between a clean result and a burn. We use 1064nm Nd:YAG as the default for darker skin tones, with 808nm Diode for medium tones and 755nm Alexandrite for the lightest. We choose at patch test.

02

VTCT Level 4 delivery, supervised by a GMC-registered clinician.

Catia Zaki holds the VTCT Level 4 Certificate in Laser and IPL Treatments, specialising in Skin of Colour. All laser work is delivered by Catia under the clinical supervision of Arman Zaki, our GMC-registered Physician Associate. Read Catia's full bio.

03

Patch test, every time.

£10 patch test before your first session, regardless of where you have been lasered before. We use it to confirm your Fitzpatrick type, settings, and tolerance. It is also a 20-minute consult with Catia, where you can ask anything before you commit.

Why a Course of 7?

One extra session beyond the industry standard.

Our clinical protocol for Battersea skin, particularly Skin of Colour where hair follicles cycle slower, includes one additional session beyond the industry-standard 6 to ensure full clearance across all four hair growth phases.

Course of 7 is our Signature for a reason: it’s the minimum protocol we’d recommend on ourselves.
