Laser hair removal works by using a concentrated beam of light to safely target the hair follicle, slowing and reducing hair growth over time.
It provides long-term hair reduction and works best on darker hair with melanin.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Laser hair removal is a clinically proven treatment that uses advanced light technology to target and reduce unwanted hair at the source. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, gently heating and disabling the follicle to significantly slow future growth. Over a series of treatments, hair becomes finer, lighter, and noticeably reduced — delivering smooth, long-term results with precision and minimal downtime.
Laser hair removal treats unwanted hair growth on both the face and body. It’s designed to significantly reduce coarse, dark hair by targeting the follicle and slowing future growth.
Laser does not work on blonde, red, grey, white or very light hair colours. The darker the colour/ pigment of the hair, the better the absorption rate and heating of the hair follicle. Therefore light skin and dark hair are a perfect combination, however with our experience and advanced technology, we can also safely treat darker skin types.
Number of treatments will depend on the area/s of concern, as well as several other factors such as hormones, age, gender, some medication, quantity of hair being treated, and the type of hair and skin colour being treated.
Hair follicles can also be present at different stages of growth. The stage that Lasers work well and cause damage to the hair is the Anagen or growing phase. Hair during this stage is still attached to the root of the follicle where it’s being fed and nourished by blood vessels. Not all hair follicles are present at this stage and hence multiple sessions are required to achieve permanent reduction.
The goal with Laser hair removal is to be consistent (every 4-6 weeks) until you get to your desired results, ie when hair growth slows down and you rarely have to shave in-between, and your hair has softened and the bulk has reduced significantly.
Your Clinician will discuss in detail once we have assessed the area/s of concern during your consultation.
The feeling is often described as slight stinging with a mild heat sensation on the skin. We work with a cooling device that offers cold air during treatment making it very comfortable for clients. After your treatment is complete, a soothing gel is applied straight away to help relieve any further heat and redness.
Depending on the type of hair being treated, there is always a risk of potentially causing stimulation from any heat based treatments including lasers.
With our extensive knowledge and clinical experience, we take extra caution when treating facial hair with lasers to avoid the risk of a possible stimulation.
It is our duty of care and obligation to provide you with our honest advice in letting you know what type of hair we can treat to get the best possible result, and what hair to avoid to minimise the risk of stimulation.
The Journey
The first step of your treatment process is to book a consultation. During the consultation, we will assess your hair and medical history, discuss the details of your treatment process, aftercare, and expected outcome.
After your initial consultation, your clinician will recommend a customised treatment plan, downtime, pricing and a timeframe for your treatment.
Treatments will commence once we establish that laser hair removal is the right treatment for you using our medical grade equipment that is safe and effective.

HAIR STIMULATION WITH LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Facial hair removal requires careful assessment, particularly in hormonally sensitive areas such as the chin, jawline, and neck. While laser hair removal can be highly effective for coarse, dark hair, finer or hormonally influenced hair does not always respond in the same way. In select cases, especially where underlying hormonal factors are present — including conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome — laser may contribute to increased thickness of previously softer hairs, a rare but recognised response known as paradoxical stimulation.
For this reason, we take a diagnostic approach to facial hair, carefully evaluating hair type, density, and hormonal history before recommending treatment. In cases where laser is not the most appropriate choice, electrolysis offers a precise, follicle-by-follicle solution and remains the gold standard for permanent removal. Our expertise lies in identifying the right modality from the outset — and in correcting cases where previous treatments have not delivered the expected outcome.
