Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of light, specifically laser technology, to remove unwanted hair from various parts of the body. The laser emits a highly focused and intense light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. This light energy is then converted into heat, which damages the hair follicles, inhibiting their ability to grow new hair. As a result, over time, the treated hair falls out, and the targeted area becomes smoother and hair-free.

The level of discomfort during laser hair removal varies from person to person and can depend on the area being treated. Many modern laser devices come equipped with cooling mechanisms to minimize discomfort, and some people describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin.

Laser hair removal is highly effective at reducing and, in many cases, permanently removing unwanted hair. However, it often requires multiple sessions to achieve long-lasting results because hair grows in different cycles, and the treatment is most effective during the active growth phase. We recommend a minimum of 10 sessions, but this does all depends on your hair growth.

Laser hair removal is considered a safe procedure when performed by trained and licensed professionals. It is essential to protect your eyes from the laser's light during treatment and follow aftercare instructions to prevent potential side effects like redness or skin irritation.

No, in fact you need to shave 24 hours before your treatment.

While laser hair removal is effective for many people, its success can vary depending on factors such as skin tone, hair color, and the type of laser used. Generally, people with darker hair and lighter skin tend to respond best to laser treatment because the contrast between the hair and skin makes it easier for the laser to target the hair follicles.

The treatment area needs to be free from makeup, lotion, deodorant and sun cream- inform the practitioner before treatment starts if you require wipes.

The area cannot be treated if it has been exposed to sun within 4 weeks prior to treatment.

Fake tanning products cannot be used 3-4 weeks prior to treatment; the area should be thoroughly exfoliated to remove all residues.
