LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Laser hair removal is a professional hair-removal treatment: the device uses advanced laser (or pulsed-light / photo-epilation) technology to target and disable hair follicles, reducing or removing unwanted hair on various areas of the body.

Primarily unwanted or excessive hair growth — anywhere on the body or face.

It can help individuals looking to reduce frequent shaving and waxing, tame coarse hair, avoid ingrown hairs or razor bumps, and maintain smooth skin long-term.

Almost all body and facial areas with unwanted hair.

Common areas: legs, underarms, bikini and Brazilian, arms, back, chest, face (lip, chin, cheeks, sideburns) and neck — essentially anywhere hair removal is desired.

• People who want long-term reduction of unwanted hair.

• Clients with light to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types 1–5).

• Those looking for a more permanent, lower-maintenance alternative to shaving, waxing or depilatory creams.

Results tend to be best when hair has pigment, as the process relies on the hair pigment absorbing light and heat. This treatment may not be as effective for those with light-coloured hair (blonde, red, grey, white), dark skin tones, or certain medical conditions such as diabetes, skin cancer or autoimmune diseases.

As with any aesthetic treatment, a professional consultation and skin and hair assessment is recommended before starting.

• Most clients require 6–8 sessions to achieve substantial hair reduction.

• Sessions are usually spaced 4–6 weeks apart to align with the hair growth cycle.

• Occasional touch-up sessions may be recommended, since no laser can guarantee 100% permanent removal for every follicle.

• Significant long-term hair reduction — thinner, finer, less dense regrowth, with many follicles remaining dormant after a full series.

• Reduced frequency of regrowth — smoother skin, fewer ingrown hairs, and less razor-related irritation.

• A more even-looking complexion, as the shadow cast by dark follicles gradually lightens.

• Noticeable improvement over several sessions — results build progressively rather than appearing all at once.

Most people report mild discomfort rather than severe pain. The sensation is often described as a rubber-band snap, or warmth and prickling on the skin.

Because our system has adjustable parameters and built-in cooling, discomfort is minimised compared with older lasers.

• Usually none — most clients return to daily activities immediately.

• Temporary redness, mild swelling or warmth may last a few hours to a day or two, similar to a light sunburn.

• Serious side effects such as blistering, pigment changes or scarring are rare when treatment is performed by trained professionals at appropriate settings.

To maximise efficacy and minimise side effects:

• Shave the treatment area 24 hours before — do not wax, pluck or epilate.

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least one to two weeks before treatment.

• Avoid sunless tanners and self-tanning products.

• Do not use irritating skincare (strong acids, retinoids, exfoliants) on the area for a few days before.

• Ensure skin is clean and free of lotions, deodorants and makeup on the day.

• Expect mild redness or warmth, usually subsiding within a few hours to a day. A cool compress helps.

• Avoid direct sun, tanning beds and self-tanners for at least one to two weeks after each session, and use sunscreen outdoors.

• Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids or strong skincare treatments for a few days.

• Moisturise gently, and avoid hot baths, saunas and very hot showers for 24–48 hours if skin feels sensitive.

• Expect hair shedding over the following one to three weeks. This is normal and part of the process.

Yes. Because our technology is multi-modality, we can offer other treatments such as skin rejuvenation and pigmentation correction with the same device — though combining on the same area at the same time should be carefully planned.

We schedule hair removal and any additional treatments on separate visits, or after appropriate healing time, so each treatment works optimally and the skin is never overworked.

• Some clients notice reduced regrowth or thinner hair after just one or two sessions.

• More noticeable, long-term reduction usually requires three to five sessions.

• The final intended result typically follows the full planned series of six to eight sessions.

• Laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction, not a guarantee of permanently hair-free skin.

• Many follicles are permanently disabled, but some may remain dormant and reactivate over time due to hormones or age, which is why occasional maintenance is recommended.

• Regrowth, when it occurs, tends to be finer, lighter and slower than pre-treatment hair.

We treat clients with light to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types 1–5) safely, thanks to adjustable settings and different hand-pieces.

As with all laser and pulsed-light hair removal, optimal results and safety depend on correct parameter settings, the clinician's training, and proper pre- and post-treatment care. Very deep or very dark skin tones are not suitable for this treatment.
