Frequently Asked Questions

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?

Laser hair removal is safe. The laser targets only the hair follicle, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. 

Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?

Laser Hair Removal feels like the flick of an elastic band. The more sessions you have, the less discomfort you feel as there are fewer hair follicles targeted. For the laser to successfully work you need enough heat to disable the hair follicle. This means you should feel a small amount of heat and most people tolerate this well. We provide cooling before, during and after the procedure to make treatment more comfortable.

We may also recommend the use of numbing cream for very sensitive areas such as Face and Genetalia.

Are There Any Side Effects?

After the treatment you may have temporary erythema (redness) or temporary per-follicular oedema (swelling/bumps). And these will settle down within hours. We apply aloe vera gel to the treated area immediately after to soothe the skin. 

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

A full course of 6 to 9 sessions will result in a permanent reduction of hair growth.

However, many of our patients see remarkable results even after the first session, depending on the individual’s circumstances. These include, but are not limited to hair type, hair colour, skin tone, medication, genetic variation, hormones, patient compliance and tolerance to the treatment.

How Often Will I Need Treatment?

We recommend that patients have their first course of laser hair removal treatments at regular intervals. For patients having facial areas treated, this means a session every 4 weeks; for body areas, a session every 6 weeks. We always recommend a course of at least 6 treatment sessions, at the intervals above, to help achieve the best result

How Effective is Laser Hair Removal?

With Laser, hair removal is very effective. After your first treatment, you will begin to notice shedding of hair.  Regrowth in the area is reduced and new hairs come out finer and thinner.

Which Skin Color Can Be Treated?

We are able to treat all Fitzpatrick skin 1 to 6.

Can I Get Cancer From Laser Hair Removal?

No – Cancer is caused by UV spectrum of light- ultra violet light which irradiates the cell’s DNA causing irregular growth changes which can cause cancerous growths. Laser hair removal uses the red spectrum of light- specifically infra-red which is only absorbed by the dark pigment in your hair called melanin. This cause no changes to your skin cells and is very safe.
