Laser Hair Removal

Say Goodbye To Waxing & Shaving
Unwanted hair growth on the face and body is a common aesthetic concern, but often leaves people feeling too embarrassed to seek medical help. While shaving, waxing and threading are useful to temporarily remove unwanted hair, the effects are only that – temporary. It is also not unusual for the hair to grow back thicker, faster and darker. Alternatively, Laser Hair Removal is a safe and effective treatment to remove unwanted hair in areas of concern, leaving you with a naturally soft and smooth appearance.

How Does It Work?

Laser Hair Removal works by targeting hair follicles going through the anagen phase (also known as the active growth phase). Using controlled pulses of energy from the laser beam, active hair follicles sitting just beneath the surface of the skin are targeted to disrupt the growth cycle. The energy heats the hair and destroys the root to safely kill the follicle and prevent the hair from growing. Since lasers target pigmentation (in this case, the color pigmentation of the hair) the treatment does not touch or damage surrounding areas of tissue. Since not all hair follicles will be in the growth phase at the same time, a course of treatment is recommended to ensure the growth of all follicles is disrupted

Result & Recovery:

Results will show immediately after treatment, with a course of treatments recommended depending on the target area, your skin tone, and the mass of unwanted hair. A top-up treatment is usually recommended after 12 months to ensure long-lasting success. The treatment causes minimal pain, though some people experience mild redness and sensitivity which can be reduced through the application of aloe gel after the treatment.

FAQs

What should I do before my laser hair removal session?

You should shave the treatment area 24 hours before your session. Avoid waxing, plucking, or using hair removal creams for several weeks leading up to the treatment, as these can disrupt the hair follicle. It’s also important to avoid sun exposure

Who is a Suitable candidate for laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal works best on individuals with light skin and dark hair. However, advancements in technology now allow treatment for a wider range of skin tones and hair colors. A consultation is important to determine if you’re a suitable candidate.

Can I shave between sessions?

Yes, you can shave between sessions. However, avoid waxing, plucking, or epilating, as these methods remove the hair follicle, which the laser targets during treatment.
