HOW DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORK?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to target and destroy hair follicles.
Here’s how it works:
Targeting Pigment: The laser device emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles.
Heat Energy: As the melanin absorbs the laser energy, it converts it into heat. This heat damages the hair follicle, inhibiting further hair growth.
Progressive Reduction: Over multiple sessions, laser hair removal gradually reduces the hair in the treatment area, with the majority of clients experiencing permanent hair reduction.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS…
Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
Laser hair removal leads to permanent hair reduction for the majority of clients. Once the hair is effectively destroyed, it cannot grow back. However, the body can sometimes produce a few new hairs in the treatment area, which we can
then remove in a ‘top-up’ session.
Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?
For most areas, laser hair removal is extremely comfortable with not much more than a warm tingling sensation on the skin. Areas with higher levels of sensitivity (such as intimate areas) can feel a little more prickly, but not painful. Our
medical grade UltraDiode laser features an advanced cooling system that cools the skin as it treats, significantly increasing comfort.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
We recommend booking in for at least 6 treatment sessions to see great results. Factors such as the hair colour and the treatment area can mean a couple more sessions are sometimes required for complete reduction. Treatments are typically spaced anywhere from 4-8 weeks apart depending on the treatment area and regrowth rate.
Is It Safe for All Skin Types?
Yes! We use the UltraDiode, a cutting-edge medical grade diode laser that operates at a 810nm wavelength, suitable for all skin types.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Temporary side effects like erythema/redness are common but usually subside within a few hours. Any rare side effects will be discussed with you by your therapist during your initial consultation and patch test.
Which Areas Can Be Treated?
Laser hair removal can be performed almost anywhere there is unwanted hair, including the face, legs, arms, bikini line, and more. Simply tell your therapist the areas that you would like treated and they will determine the best treatment plan for your needs.
Can I Get Laser Hair Removal on Tanned Skin?
Laser hair removal is generally less effective on tanned or recently sun-exposed skin, as the laser targets pigment. It’s advisable to avoid sun exposure or tanning beds before treatment for optimal results.
How Long Does Each Laser Session Take?
The duration of each session varies depending on the size of the treatment area. Smaller areas like the upper lip can take just a few minutes, while larger areas like the legs will take longer.
Will My Hair Grow Back Thicker or Darker After Laser Hair Removal?
No, laser hair removal does not cause hair to grow back thicker or darker. Once the hair is effectively destroyed, it cannot grow back.
How Soon Can I Expect to See Results?
You should notice significant reduction in hair growth after just one session, with further reduction after each session. Full result will require a complete course of treatments.
Can I Shave Between Laser Sessions?
Yes, you can shave between sessions, but avoid plucking or waxing, as these methods remove the hair follicle that the laser targets.
What Precautions Should I Take Before and After Treatment?
Before treatment, avoid sun exposure and follow any pre-care instructions provided by your therapist. Afterward, protect treated areas from sun exposure and follow post-care recommendations.
By understanding how laser hair removal works and having answers to these common questions, you’ll be better equipped to decide if this treatment aligns with your hair removal goals and preferences. Always seek consultation and treatment from a qualified therapist using medical-grade equipment for the safest and most effective results.

When should I arrive?
Please allow for parking and arrive at least 5 minutes before your appointment time. If you arrive earlier we have a waiting area in reception where you can enjoy a complimentary drink and a selection of magazines.
What do I wear during my treatment?
Please wear comfortable clothes which are easily removed if required for your treatment. If you are having a pedicure then please wear open-toed shoes.
What if I am late for my appointment?
Arriving late will simply limit the time available for your treatment, thus reducing its effectiveness and your pleasure. Your treatment will need to end on time so that our next consultation is not delayed.

We accept all major credit cards (with the exception of Amex). We also have our own Beauty Centre gift vouchers which are accepted for both treatments and products.
