Laser hair removal while on holiday in Saint-Tropez: continue your treatment course in Valbonne
Are you spending your summer holidays in Saint-Tropez, with a laser hair removal treatment course under way that you started elsewhere? The Centre Laser Valbonne welcomes you in the heart of Valbonne village on the French Riviera, with plenty of free car parks nearby. You will see a medical doctor, Dr Milène VERA, who has been working with lasers for more than 20 years. First step: book a free preliminary consultation on Doctolib.
Taking over a treatment course started elsewhere
A laser treatment course started elsewhere can be continued, even with a different technology. At the preliminary consultation, Dr VERA reviews your current hair growth and takes the sessions already carried out into account to adjust the treatment. Remember how many sessions you have already had and which device was used: the doctor will ask you.
Don't leave too long between sessions
Summer does not mean pausing a treatment course: the interval before the next session should not exceed 12 weeks. Beyond 12 weeks, some of the hairs would have entered the resting phase, and the treatment would be less effective. A session during your holiday can therefore let you continue your treatment course without a break.
The sun during your holiday: what is possible
Holidays don't change the rule: if the area to be treated has been exposed to the sun in the previous two weeks, no session is carried out. The underarms and bikini line, covered by clothing, are easier to protect than the legs or arms. Once the session is done, SPF 50 sunscreen must protect the treated areas throughout the treatment course.
Short sessions
As a guide: about 5 minutes for an underarm session, 20 minutes for a lower-leg session. Several areas can also be treated in a single session. Valbonne, the village where the centre is located, has plenty of free car parks nearby.

Frequently asked questions
Can a laser treatment course started elsewhere be resumed? Yes: a treatment course started elsewhere can be continued at the centre, including when a different technology was used. At the preliminary consultation, your current hair growth is assessed and the sessions already carried out are taken into account to adapt the treatment.
What should I bring to the preliminary consultation? Bring a list of the medicines and food supplements you are currently taking. The doctor will also ask whether you have already had laser sessions elsewhere, and with which device.
Is the preliminary consultation free and compulsory? Yes: the preliminary consultation with Dr Milène VERA is free and with no obligation. It is compulsory before the first session.
Should a laser hair removal treatment course be paused during the summer holidays? The treatment course does not stop during the summer holidays. The date of the last session before you leave is adjusted with you: it takes place at least two weeks before sun exposure begins, while making sure that no more than 12 weeks pass before the next session, on your return.
