During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.

Most people describe the laser hair removal treatment as uncomfortable rather than painful. The level of discomfort between individuals and depends on the area being treated.

The laser works by targeting colour in the hair shaft and follicle. The best results are usually seen with darker hair. For that reason, blonde, red and grey hairs can be more difficult to remove. Some underlying medical conditions may exclude you from the treatment, as they make the results harder to predict. We recommend coming in for a consultation where we can assess your suitability.

For best results, we recommend 8 treatments, around 4-6 weeks apart. You should start to see results after your second or third treatment, but it's important to note that the way the human body has been designed, sometimes is impossible to remove 100% of the unwanted hair. 

In some cases, we can remove up to 98% of hair and the average person can expect at last 80% removal. However, this may depend and be limited to your age, hair type, hormone levels and any existing medical conditions and other factors.
