Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a permanent hair reduction technique that uses concentrated light energy to achieve safe hair removal.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a permanent hair reduction technique that uses concentrated light energy to achieve safe hair removal. It is typically performed in a specialized hair removal clinic by an experienced and highly trained hair removal specialist.
Advanced hair removal techniques involve using a handheld device that emits pulses of light which are absorbed by the melanin (pigment in hair). The objective is to destroy melanin in the hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. Multiple sessions (6-10) are typically required as laser hair treatment is only effective on hairs in their active (anagen) growth stage (about 85%).
Safety is the number one contributing factor to the global popularity of laser hair removal services. With innovation in technology, modern lasers are designed to minimize the risk of adverse side-effects, ensuring a smooth and reliable hair removal experience.
In the past, treatment was most effective on darker hair against lighter skin. Luckily, modern laser technology has led to the development of devices suitable for diverse skin tones and hair colors. Although white and red hair is still not suitable for long-term hair reduction with laser due to lack of sufficient pigment.

Laser Hair Removal Benefits
The most notable advantage of laser hair removal is that it offers clients lasting hair-free solutions. Unlike conventional methods such as shaving or waxing, laser hair removal addresses hair at its root, leading to a gradual and permanent reduction in hair growth.
Furthermore, painless hair removal is now possible with devices that utilize advanced cooling technology. Also, it’s important to note that training and experience matters. Laser treatments administered by professionals are designed to minimize discomfort during the treatment.
Another major benefit for clients is the versatility of the procedure. It can be performed on any body part, face and body, for both women and men (with the exception of men’s intimate areas).
Laser Hair Removal - What to Expect?
Consultation
A qualified technician will assess your skin type, hair color, and medical history to determine if you are a suitable candidate for laser hair removal.
Test Patch
Once you’re cleared for treatment, a small test patch will be performed to check how your skin reacts to the laser. This will also determine the optimal settings for your skin type. You must wait 24-48 hours before commencing your treatments.
Preparation
You’ll be instructed to shave the treatment area the day before each session. Do not wax or pluck the hair while you’re undergoing laser hair removal as the hair follicles need to be intact for the laser to detect them.
Skin Cleaning
The treatment area is cleaned to remove any makeup, lotions, or dirt.
Cooling Gel Application
Cooling gel may be applied to the skin to reduce discomfort, to protect the skin and enhance the effectiveness of the laser treatment.
Protective Eyewear
Both the patient and the practitioner must wear protective eyewear to shield their eyes from the intense laser light.
Laser Calibration
Your technician will adjust the device according to your skin color, hair color, and thickness. This ensures that the right amount of energy is deployed to target the hair follicles.
Laser Treatment
Laser energy is delivered to the treatment area in a series of continuous or individual pulses (based on the device and settings best for you).
Cooling During and Post Treatment
After each pulse, and upon completion of your treatment, a cooling device or cooling air may be used to minimize discomfort and protect the surrounding skin.
Post-Treatment Care
You will be provided with post-treatment instructions. These may include avoiding sun exposure, using sunscreen, and refraining from activities that may irritate the treated area.
ELEGIBILITY Who is a Good Candidate
The ideal candidate for laser hair removal is someone seeking a long-term solution to reduce stubborn, unwanted hair. They should be committed to multiple sessions for optimal results and cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
