Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles with a concentrated beam of light. The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft, effectively heating and damaging the follicle. This damage inhibits future hair growth, leading to long-lasting reduction in hair density and thickness. The procedure is precise, targeting only the hair follicles while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. Over a series of treatment sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, laser hair removal can provide smooth and hair-free results, saving you from the hassle of frequent shaving or waxing.
The full process
​
Consultation: Begin with a comprehensive consultation with our experienced laser hair removal specialist. During this session, we will assess your skin type, hair color, and medical history to determine your eligibility for the treatment. We will also discuss your specific hair removal goals and address any concerns or questions you may have.
​
Preparing for the treatment: Prior to your laser hair removal session, it's important to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks. Shave the treatment area a day or two before your appointment to ensure the laser can effectively target the hair follicles.
​
Treatment session: On the day of your appointment, you will be provided with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser. Our specialist will adjust the laser settings based on your specific skin and hair type. The laser device will be applied to the treatment area, emitting controlled pulses of laser light. You may experience a slight tingling or snapping sensation, but most clients find the procedure tolerable.
​
Post-treatment care: After the laser hair removal session, it's important to follow the post-treatment instructions provided by our specialist. This may include avoiding excessive heat exposure, wearing sunscreen, and avoiding any irritants on the treated area. You may experience some redness or mild swelling, which will subside within a few hours or days.
​
Subsequent sessions: Laser hair removal requires a series of treatment sessions to target hair follicles in various growth stages. The number of sessions needed varies depending on individual factors such as hair type, skin color, and treatment area. Typically, multiple sessions are scheduled 4-6 weeks apart to ensure optimal results.
​
Maintenance and long-term results: With each session, you will notice a gradual reduction in hair growth. Over time, the treated area will become smoother and hair-free. Although laser hair removal offers long-lasting results, occasional maintenance sessions may be required to target any new hair growth that may occur in the future.

FAQ
​
Is laser hair removal safe?
Yes, laser hair removal is generally safe when performed by a trained professional. Our clinic uses advanced laser technology and follows strict safety protocols to ensure your comfort and minimise the risk of complications.
​
How does light-assisted hair removal work?
The light emitted by the device is absorbed by melanin within the hair. This is then converted into heat energy, damaging the hair follicle.
What does the treatment feel like?
Treatment sensation varies but you can feel what is described as the ‘hot flick’ of an elastic band during treatment. However, thanks to Dynamic Reflex Technology, most clients describe the discomfort as moderate and tolerable.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions required varies from client to client and is dependent on many factors. Results can be seen after just a few treatments. However, a minimum of 6 and up to 12 treatments, are recommended to deliver the best results.
Who is suitable for treatment?
Most people are suitable for treatment. We recommend a consultation with your clinician to ascertain if the treatment will be successful for you. Grey/white hair has no melanin so is not recommended for treatment.
​
​
Are there any side effects of laser hair removal?
Temporary side effects such as redness, mild swelling, or slight skin irritation are common after laser hair removal. These usually subside within a few hours or days. Rarely, more serious side effects such as changes in skin pigmentation or blistering may occur, but these are extremely rare when the treatment is performed by a qualified professional.
​
​
Can laser hair removal treat all areas of the body?
Laser hair removal can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, and back. It is a versatile treatment that can effectively target unwanted hair in both large and small areas.
​
​
Is there any downtime after laser hair removal?
No, there is typically no downtime after laser hair removal. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the session. However, it is important to follow the post-treatment care instructions provided by our specialist to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects.
​
​
Can laser hair removal remove all hair permanently?
Laser hair removal can provide long-term hair reduction, but it may not guarantee permanent hair removal. The treatment can significantly reduce hair growth, making the remaining hair finer and lighter. Occasional maintenance sessions may be required to target any new hair growth that may occur over time.
