Energy from the laser is targeted into the pigmentation of the hair follicle, causing thermal damage without harming the surrounding cells. Hair re-growth is impeded in the damaged follicle.

Treatments last between 15 and 45 minutes depending on the area being treated.

The treatment is non-invasive and causes little discomfort. We use cold air to make the procedure as comfortable as possible, and if necessary we apply a topical anaesthetic to numb the area – in most cases this is not needed.

Laser hair removal only works while your hair follicle is in an active, growing state. Depending on the area of the body being treated, up to 30% of your hair may be in the active phase at any given time, meaning a series of treatments will be required to achieve the long-term improvement you desire. Treatments are 4 – 6 weeks apart, and experience tells us you will need a minimum of 9 treatments for each area to achieve long-lasting, optimal results.

The average client sees a 48% reduction in hair growth after the first 3 treatments, and up to an 80% reduction after 8 to 12 treatments. Laser hair removal works by damaging the hair follicle and putting it into a dormant state, but when they eventually reawaken and produce hair again, the individual hairs will be lighter, finer, and fewer in number. Most patients require one or two touch-up treatments per year.
