Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target and damage the hair follicle, reducing hair growth over time. It’s a long-term hair reduction method and works best on hair containing melanin.

Real Talk

This treatment uses selective photothermolysis; laser light is absorbed by pigment in the hair follicle, heating it to damage the cells responsible for growth. Over time, treated hairs grow back finer and more slowly, or stop growing altogether in some areas. 

Laser hair removal may be used to treat:

  • Face (lip, chin, sideburns)
  • Underarms
  • Bikini and Brazilian
  • Legs, arms and back
  • Chest and abdomen
  • Ingrown hairs and folliculitis

Hair grows in cycles, so multiple sessions are needed, typically 6–10 treatments spaced 4–12 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions may be required. Results depend on skin tone, hair colour, hormonal influences and other possible factors.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs

It delivers precise pulses of laser light absorbed by hair pigment, which heats and destroys follicles while our cooling tip protects skin.

It may feel like a snap of a rubber band or tiny needle prick, but we use a cooling tip to minimise discomfort.

No—many clients return to work or normal activities immediately. You may experience light redness or swelling for a short time.

We recommend avoiding sun exposure and tanning (natural or fake) for at least 2 weeks before and after treatment to reduce risk.

Laser works best on darker hair types with pigment. White, grey or very light blonde hair may not respond to treatment.
