How does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser Hair Removal works by a process called selective photo thermolysis. The gentle laser light is pulsed with a small hand piece and selectively destroys the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding tissue/cells.

What can i expect during Laser treatment?

Treatment will take place at our Clinic. We will use a small hand piece to deliver each laser pulse. A treatment could take as little as a few minutes to as long as an hour, depending on the areas being treated.

Does it hurt?

Some patients may feel a slight discomfort with each laser pulse, sometimes described like a pinch. This is only felt when the laser is being pulsed and resolves very quickly and is minimised by the patented Dynamic Cooling Device. For some patients a topical aesthetic may be used prior to treatment. Be sure to discuss this with your practitioner.

How many treatment sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on the treatment you require and the condition of your skin. For hair removal multiple treatments are needed. For face area you are required to come in once every 4 weeks and once every 6 weeks for the body. Efficacy of end result does effect you individually, generally 6-8 sessions are required in each growth cycle for effective results.

How do I prepare for treatment?

When having treatment for Laser Hair Removal patients should avoid plucking, electrolysis or waxing for 6 weeks prior to treatment. Skin should be clean-shaven and thoroughly cleansed, removing any makeup, creams, oils, topical aesthetics or self tanning products before laser treatment. Do not expose the intended treatment area to sunlight or tanning booth light prior to or immediately after treatment.

What can I expect after treatment?

A cool compress can be applied with a soothing gel after treatment to increase comfort. Any redness swelling should resolve within a few hours but can take up to 2-4 hours or longer. The redness may last up to 2-3 days. Please follow the aftercare advice given to you on the day after your treatment.

Are there any side effects?

Permanent side effects are very rare, and may include redness, swelling, hyper pigmentation, hypo pigmentation and blistering. Be sure discuss potential side effects specifically for you with your practitioner.

Treatment Review for Laser Hair Removal

“I am 28 years old and have been diagnosed with PCOS. I have struggled with my facial hair and ingrowing hairs many years. The ingrowing hairs have also pigmented my skin because i have tried to pull the hair out as i find them really embarrassing when out and about. I came to the clinic because they are the only dedicated clinic supporting women with PCOS for life. After my free consultation i wanted to experience the treatment, so after my test patch i had my first session on full face & neck, the hair just fell out at 10 days after like the lady said it would, i could not believe it! I am now on my 5th session and am really loving the results and reduction in hair growth. I feel the hair is more controlled, and not stubbly and noticeable”
