Unlock the secret to lasting hair reduction with our Laser Hair Removal! Hair progresses through three stages: anagen (growth), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting). Our state-of-the-art laser technology precisely targets follicles during the anagen phase, maximizing treatment efficacy. Given that only around 30% of hair is in this phase at any moment, multiple sessions are crucial for optimal results. The laser delivers energy to the follicle, absorbed by the pigment, leading to the permanent destruction of the follicle for lasting hair reduction.

FAQ
WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE ARRIVING FOR THE FIRST APPOINTMENT?
For treatment safety and optimal results, I will conduct a consultation with focus on your past and current medical details.
* Please ensure treated areas shaved as much as you can prior to treatment to minimise treatment time.
DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING TO PREPARE FOR THE TREATMENT?
Make sure your skin is clean. Do not apply any lotions, creams or makeup (if you’re getting a treatment on your face) before your session and stop using any products that might irritate your skin 2-3 days before. Remove all jewellery around the area being treated.
It is crucial to shave the treated areas as thoroughly as possible before your appointment. Our technicians will take care of any remaining hair, but it's essential to minimize it beforehand. Failure to do so may result in additional charges for shaving large areas.
For the initial session, a mandatory consultation is required, and it is beneficial to have your medical history readily available. Treatment photos are essential for documenting both the initial skin conditions and the progress throughout the treatment. If you are uncomfortable with the idea of having photos taken, please inform our technicians in advance.
AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THIS TREATMENT?
Laser hair removal is for individuals who want to permanently reduce unwanted hair on their face or body through laser treatments because they’re tired of the conventional methods that only yield temporary results.
Safe and effective treatment may not be possible if you have:
• Previous problems with laser therapy
• Blonde, red, grey or white hair which do not absorb laser energy sufficiently.
• A history of keloid scarring
• Active infection or history of herpes simplex in the treatment area
• Use of depilatories or other hair removal treatments, such as waxing, plucking, or electrolysis, within 6 weeks prior to treatment
• Hypersensitivity to hydroquinone or other bleaching agents
• Prescription Vitamin A medications (Isotretinoin) 6 months prior or prescription Vitamin A cream (Adapelene, Tazarotene) 1 month prior
I HAVE DARKER SKIN - CAN I STILL GET THIS TREATMENT DONE?
Laser hair removal treatments are suitable for darker skin tones, including tanned skin, with the caveat of employing different settings to mitigate the increased risk of discoloration associated with higher pigment levels in darker skin. During the session, the technician will conduct a test spot to evaluate your skin's response to the laser. They are well-versed in determining the most suitable treatment parameters for your specific skin type. It's important to note that individuals with darker skin or those with a tan may need more sessions than usual to achieve optimal results. This is attributed to the elevated concentration of melanin in the skin, which competes with the melanin in the hair follicles.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED TO SEE RESULTS?
Typically, most patients undergo 4-6 treatments per specific area. However, the precise number varies based on individual factors such as skin type, hair colour and texture, and the specific treatment area.
HOW OFTEN/FAR APART SHOULD THE TREATMENTS BE?
• Facial hair every 4 weeks
• Body hair every 6-8 weeks
Please ensure regular treatment schedules as longer time between sessions may affect optimal treatment results.
HOW LONG DOES EACH TREATMENT SESSION TAKE?
The duration of the treatment varies depending on the treatment area—with the upper lip requiring less time compared to treating both legs. To enhance the efficiency of the treatment, it is advisable to shave the area as thoroughly as possible before the session.
WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT FEEL LIKE?
Upon commencement of the treatment, you may experience a brief sensation of warmth in the targeted area. However, this sensation is short-lived, courtesy of the real-time cooling system that promptly engages to alleviate any discomfort. In the case of PULSE mode, you can anticipate a sensation akin to a gentle snap of an elastic band against your skin. Alternatively, with SLIDE mode, the experience resembles a sequence of light snaps as the technician smoothly moves the applicator over the treatment area.
WILL IT BE PAINFUL?
While the application is equipped with a built-in cooling feature to enhance comfort during treatment, it's important to note that mild discomfort may still occur, particularly in more sensitive areas like the bikini line. If you have concerns about potential discomfort during the treatment, it is advisable to consider taking non-aspirin painkillers a few hours beforehand. Additionally, informing your treatment provider about your concerns will allow them to make necessary adjustments to the settings for a more tailored and comfortable experience.
HOW WILL I FEEL AFTER MY TREATMENT?
After the treatment, you might experience a sensation akin to a mild sunburn around the treated area, but rest assured that this typically dissipates within 1-2 days at the most. Should you feel the need, applying a cool compress can help alleviate any discomfort. It's normal to observe easier hair shedding in the days following the treatment. Some individuals may notice what seems like a rash accompanied by mild itching; however, this is a normal skin response to the energy. The redness and itching generally diminish over a few days.
HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS LAST AND ARE THEY PERMANENT?
The effectiveness of the hair removal treatment varies based on individual hair growth patterns. Those with consistent, prolonged results may experience longer-lasting hair removal. However, individuals who notice sporadic hair growth in the treated area might require occasional touch-up treatments to sustain the desired outcome.
IS THERE REALLY NO DOWNTIME?
No downtime is required following the treatment. You can seamlessly resume your regular daily activities immediately after the session.
DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING AFTER MY TREATMENT?
Ensure to delicately cleanse the treated area twice daily and apply sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 15 before venturing outdoors. However, it is advisable to limit exposure to excessive sunlight. Additionally, refrain from hot baths, massages, or any treatments involving direct skin contact during the initial 2 days following your treatment.
IF I GOT A TREATMENT ON MY FACE, CAN I PUT MAKEUP UP ON RIGHT AFTER?
Certainly, applying makeup is permissible. However, it is crucial to ensure that sunscreen is applied on top for added protection.
DOES LASER HAIR-REMOVAL WORK ON TANNED SKIN?
While laser hair removal can be safely performed on tanned skin, it's important to note that the results may not be as optimal compared to untreated skin. Tanned skin tends to have a temporarily higher melanin concentration, which can divert some energy away from the melanin within the hair bulbs, affecting the overall effectiveness of the treatment.
With recent spray tans or fake-tan lotion, please allow at least 2 weeks for the tan to fade for safe and effective treatment.
I AM UNDER 18 YEARS OLD AND WISH TO HAVE LESS HAIR. AM I SUITABLE FOR LASER HAIR-REMOVAL?
Laser hair removal is a secure procedure with minimal side effects, especially when administered by certified professionals and when post-treatment care instructions are followed diligently. For individuals under the age of 18, attending the initial consultation with a parent and obtaining their written consent is mandatory.
While the minimum age for laser hair removal is 14 years old, it's important to understand that results may be temporary or may necessitate additional treatments for improved efficacy due to hormonal fluctuations during puberty. The permanence and predictability of results tend to improve once hormonal levels stabilize around 18-19 years old.
