Laser Hair Removal

A.Laser hair removal can be used for smooth skin on the following areas: shoulders, underarms, upper arms, upper back, lower back, lower arms, hands, buttocks, upper face, lower face, neck, chest, upper legs, abdomen and navel, lower legs, feet, intimate areas for bikini line, Brazilian and Hollywood

A.Laser Hair Removal uses energy from a specific wavelength to precisely target hair follicles, thereby destroying the hair follicle completely. It is a cosmetic procedure which involves removing unwanted hair with a powerful jet of 'intense pulsed light.’  This laser lights heats up and eventually destroys hair follicles, causing a disruption in the hair growth mechanism

A.As part of your complimentary consultation, our therapist will assess the areas of concern and advise the number of sessions you may need to tackle your hair growth. The therapist will then go through your laser plan with you which will normally involve sessions 4 weeks apart for optimum results. Costs and packages will also be covered in the consultation. The final stage of the consultation will be to perform a patch test to trial on your skin. You can then begin your laser journey with us just 48 hours later.

A.Most patients will enjoy 80% hair reduction with the number of sessions recommended by our practitioners

A.Laser hair removal is most effective on dark hair because it targets melanin. However, our Lumenis Lightsheer Duet and Infinity lasers are advanced enough to treat even lighter hair, though multiple sessions may be required for the best results.

A.Yes! The FDA approved Lumenis Lightsheer Duet and Infinity lasers are designed to safely treat all skin types, including darker tones. These machines minimise the risk of hyperpigmentation while effectively targeting hair follicles.

A.PCOS can cause dark and thick hair to form in unwanted places such as the face, back, chest, neck and abdomen. Laser Hair Removal is an ideal treatment for women with PCOS who want to see a permanent reduction in unwanted hair growths in certain areas. We offer a hair removal treatment that provides up to 80% hair reduction.

A.Quite the opposite! Laser hair removal with our Lightsheer Duet and Infinity machines reduces the risk of ingrown hairs by targeting hair follicles directly, helping to prevent regrowth that can cause irritation.

A.Absolutely. Our Lumenis lasers are gentle enough for sensitive areas like the bikini line and face. We take extra care to ensure your comfort throughout your sessions, and our lasers are practically pain-free.

A.It’s generally recommended to wait until after pregnancy due to hormonal changes. While the Lumenis lasers are safe, it’s best to err on the side of caution during this time.

A.In most cases, this beauty procedure is very effective for unwanted hair reduction. For the majority of clients up to 70-80% total hair reduction can be seen after 6-8 hair removal treatment sessions by our expert team. Certain factors, such as hormones, can affect the results and therefore it may take more sessions to achieve your desired results of complete hair reduction.

A.You’ll need 4-6 weeks between sessions to let your hair grow through its cycles. Our Lightsheer Duet and Infinity lasers are so efficient that sticking to this schedule will yield optimal results.

A.Precision: Laser hair treatment is very accurate and specific. It specifically targets hair right at the end of the follicle, causing no damage to other tissues whatsoever. It also only targets hair that’s unwanted. Laser hair removal works better for people with a darker skin complexion. This is because darker pigments are more easily detectable by a laser light. Less Painful: Wax adheres right to your skin and is peeled off, making the waxing process very painful. The same goes for threading. It plucks off multiple hair strands, causing lots of discomfort. Laser, on the other hand, converts light into heat and burns the follicle. This isn’t as painfulas other methods. To completely cut down the pain, therapists usually give local anaesthesia. Lasts long: Laser hair treatment is more of a long-term hair growth reduction method.The duration varies for everyone. For some people, it lasts for months, and for others, years. This is because everyone’s hair growth cycle is unique. The new hair that comes out is a lot thinner and lighter.

A.With the use of the patented suction technology within our laser systems, most of our clients find the laser hair removal procedure virtually painless. Nevertheless, this does depend on the area being treated, the density of hairs in this area as well as your personal pain threshold. The procedure works by delivering a vacuum mechanism that draws up the skin into the handpiece to reduce pain and make you feel comfortable during the treatment. The Laser gently heats the targeted area under the skin which means that the experience is often less painful than other lasers. This unique technology allows a rapid coverage rate without gel or anaesthesia, therefore allowing the practitioner to treat larger areas in a shorter amount of time.

A.As mentioned, our laser device systems are able to treat all skin types. As long as the colour of the hair is darker than the colour of the skin, then we should be able to treat it successful.

A.Our Lumenis machines allow precise targeting, so we can carefully work around tattoos to avoid any damage. Just let your technician know before starting treatment. We are unable to laser directly on top of tattoos as this will damage the ink, so be aware of this if you have leg tattoos and want laser hair removal on your full legs.

A.When performed by our trained professionals using the Lumenis lasers, the risk of scarring is incredibly low. Make sure to follow our pre- and post-treatment care instructions for the best outcome.

A.For hormonal areas, we recommend 12 laser hair removal sessions aftre your intial consultation with annual top -ups once the course has completed. For the rest of the body, we recommend 8 sessions with annual top-ups. It’s important to consider the stages of hair growth and how this impacts the effectiveness of the treatment; laser hair removal is successful when the hair follicle is at its active stage. Unfortunately, you cannot tell when the hair is at this stage, which is why the number of sessions needed is dependent on multiple factors. The thickness and colour of your hair type can also effect results.

A.Before starting hair removal laser treatment we will need to perform a ‘patch test’ to trial the laser on your skin. Don’t worry, you can begin your treatment 48 hours later after this consultation!

A.Shaving: Shaving removes hair at the surface of the skin with a razor, making it a painless, quick and inexpensive hair removal method. However, razor burns, cuts and nicks are common side effects of shaving. What’s worse is that shaving frequently can lead to ingrown hair growth. Moreover, regrowth happens super quickly since hair is only cut off at the surface. The regrown hair isn’t tapered, and may seem to appear thicker and blunt. Professional waxing: Hot (but not unbearably hot!) wax when applied to the desired area pulls hair out from the roots. This hair removal method works best for bikini areas, underarms and legs—particularly ideal for those with darker, coarse and stubborn hair. However, keep in mind that waxing requires at least a quarter inch of stubble in order to be effective. It can be painful at first, but becomes tolerable over time and lasts between 3-6 weeks before regrowth means it’s back to the salon! Laser hair removal: This is the best option for long term hair removal, as it essentially targets the hair shafts and effectively inhibits hair growth. The best part is that it doesn’t cause damage to the dermis, which means that even the most sensitive skin can be easily treated. For optimal results, dermatologists offer different lasers that are customised to the patient’s hair and skin colour. Many consider laser removal treatments to be a worthy investment that pays off the in the long run
