LASER TREATMENTS

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a safe, efficient and cost-effective method to achieve long-term hair reduction on both the face and body, for men and women alike.
The treatment uses a specialised laser light that is directed through the pigment in the hair. The laser delivers a precise pulse of heat to the hair follicle when it is in its active growth phase, disabling or significantly reducing its ability to regrow. Over a series of treatments, hair regrowth is noticeably diminished.
While best results are achieved when there is contrast between lighter skin and darker hair, advances in technology now allow treatment on a wide range of skin tones and hair colours. It’s ideal for anyone seeking to reduce unwanted hair with minimal fuss and lasting results.

Treatment Information

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
 

The treatment targets the hair follicle during its growth (anagen) stage. The laser light passes through the skin’s surface and is attracted to the pigment in the hair shaft. Once it reaches the follicle it converts to heat, which damages the hair-producing cells and reduces their ability to regrow hair. Sessions are spaced about four weeks apart to ensure new hairs reach the correct growth phase for treatment.
With each session, fewer hairs return and the regrowth that does appear is finer and lighter. Over time, many clients experience up to90 % reduction in hair regrowth when treatment protocols are followed.

What are the benefits of laser hair removal?
 

Laser hair removal offers a number of compelling advantages:

  • Significant reduction in hair regrowth — research shows results of up to 90 %. 
  • Can treat virtually any part of the face or body including full face, upper lip, chin, sides of the face, chest, stomach, back, fingers, toes, arms, legs, Brazilian area and buttocks. 
  • Minimises ingrown hairs and the discomfort associated with repeated shaving or waxing. 
  • Long-term cost-effective solution compared with ongoing hair removal methods like waxing, plucking or shaving. 
  • Suitable for most skin tones and hair types thanks to modern laser technology. A consultation will determine the best device and protocol for your individual skin and hair characteristics.
Is laser hair removal right for me?
 

Laser hair removal may be right for you if you:

  • Are tired of frequent shaving, waxing or electrolysis and want longer-lasting results
  • Have unwanted hair on the face, arms, legs, chest, back or other areas
  • Seek a smoother, hair-free finish with fewer ingrown hairs
  • Want the freedom to wear lighter colours, swimwear or short sleeves without concern

During your initial consultation, your clinician will evaluate:

  • The colour and texture of your hair and skin
  • Whether you have a medical history of hormonal hair growth or skin conditions
  • Your expectations, lifestyle and how hair removal fits your routine
    This ensures the treatment is safe, effective and tailored to you.
How many sessions will i need and when will I see results?
 

Most clients require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results, because hair grows in cycles and only those hairs in the active growth phase can be treated effectively.

  • Typically, sessions are spaced about 4 weeks apart
  • You may start to see reductions in hair regrowth by your second or third session. 
  • For lasting reduction, many clients complete 6 to 8 sessions depending on area, hair density and hormone levels.
  • Once the full series is completed, maintenance sessions can further prolong results and manage any finer regrowth.
Is there any downtime?
 

Downtime is minimal. After a session you might experience:

  • Slight redness or mild warmth at the treatment site
  • Tiny bumps or light irritation similar to mild sunburn
    These symptoms generally fade within a few hours to a day. Most clients return to their usual routine, wear makeup or continue with activities without interruption.
