What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a modern, effective technique that uses concentrated light energy to target unwanted hair on the face and body. The laser beam is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle, damaging the follicle and significantly reducing future hair growth. Over time, many treated hairs enter a dormant state — delivering smoother, hair-free skin.

How Does It Work?
During your consultation, we evaluate your skin type, hair colour/thickness, and growth cycle to tailor the treatment.
A medical-grade laser is selected (for example, Alexandrite, Diode or Nd:YAG) that matches your skin and hair profile.
The device emits precise light pulses that pass through the skin surface into the hair follicle. Heat destroys or disables the follicle’s ability to produce new hair.
Multiple sessions scheduled at appropriate intervals ensure hairs in different growth stages are targeted — giving best results.

What To Expect During & After Treatment ?
Most clients describe the sensation as a brief “snap” or light sting — discomfort is minimal and transient.
A cooling device or gel may be used during treatment to enhance comfort and protect the skin.
After each session, you may notice redness or mild swelling similar to a sunburn — this generally subsides within hours to a day.
Hair treated will gradually shed over the days following each session; the skin will appear smoother and hair-growth slower.
Maintenance sessions (usually once or twice a year) may be recommended to preserve results, especially in hormonally active areas.
Pre- & Post-Treatment Care
Before Treatment:
Avoid waxing, plucking or bleaching hairs for at least 3-4 weeks prior — shaving is allowed.
Shave the treatment area 12-24 hours before your appointment.
Avoid sun exposure, tanning or UV beds for at least 4 weeks before treatment.
Disclose any medications (including antibiotics, retinoids) that may increase skin sensitivity.
After Treatment:
Apply soothing gel such as aloe vera if redness or sensitivity occurs.
Avoid hot showers, saunas or intense exercise for at least 24 hours.
Do not wax or pluck hairs between sessions; shaving is allowed.
Use sun-block (SPF 30+) on treated areas when exposed to the sun.
Expect shedding of hairs over the next 1-3 weeks; gentle exfoliation may help.
Is It Suitable For All Skin Types & Hair Colours?
Yes — with the right technology and practitioner expertise, laser hair removal can be safe and effective across a wide range of skin tones and hair colours. While the best results are seen when there is contrast between hair and skin pigment (e.g., dark hair on lighter skin), modern lasers (especially Nd:YAG and long-pulse Diode) allow safe treatment of darker skin tones too. (For very fine, light or grey hair the effect may be less dramatic.)
