Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair reduction is a procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to reduce unwanted hair. During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.

Laser hair removal is typically considered an uncomfortable treatment, but this isn’t the case with our laser hair removal machine! Our machine is virtually pain free due to the built-in cooling system which reduces the temperature of the laser head to – 6 degrees Celsius. This cold sensation contradicts the heat from the laser allowing you to have a comfortable treatment and effective results!

There are many varying factors to consider when treating anyone for laser hair removal, skin colour, hair colour, wavelengths, and speed of delivery. Our machine incorporates multiple wavelengths and technologies allowing us to treat a wide range of hair types; and we can treat skin types 1-5 which is very uncommon in some basic lasers.

During your consultation with our skilled practitioner, we will need to patch test you in the area/s you wish to have treated to determine which specific setting you need on the machine and to make sure you don’t have a reaction to the laser. We will also be able to determine how long between sessions you should leave it so that your hair follicle is in the correct phase for laser.

Before you start laser hair removal you MUST have a patch test.
