Laser Hair removal FAQ's

HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?

​

Specific wavelengths of laser light are selectively absorbed by melanin, the dark pigment which surrounds the hair follicle and disables the follicle at the root causing the hair to fall out permanently.  Our laser machines use the optimal wavelength to deliver high energy ensuring the best results.

​

HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED?

​

We recommend that most people will need an average of 8-12 treatments every 4-10 weeks (area depending) to kill the hair follicles beneath the skin and prevent future growth. Some people will require more sessions if any future hormonal changes result in new growth.  Yearly top ups may also be required 1/2 sessions, to keep any stray hairs at bay. 

​

DOES IT HURT?

​

Our lasers use an integrated patented ‘crystal freeze’ technology to keep the skin surface at a constant five degrees, thereby protecting the skin and ensuring a very comfortable treatment. 

 

It is normal to feel a warm prickling sensation throughout the procedure which means the treatment is working, however you should not feel any intense pain.  We ensure that all our clients will feel comfortable throughout treatments.

​

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED SESSIONS?

​

We recommend a laser session every 4-6 weeks to begin with and towards the end of your treatment plan we may begin to extend this to 6/8 weeks as less hair grows back... depending on the area and how many treatments you have had. 

 

We will create a personal treatment plan for you at your consultation, prior to any treatments.

​

HOW DO I PREFER FOR A LASER SESSION?

​

Prior to any laser session you will be require to book in for a consultation and patch test to ensure you are suitable for laser hair removal, during the consultation we would go through pre and post care for this treatment such as shaving the night before and avoid any other hair removal methods 6 weeks prior to laser such as shaving, waxing and plucking.
