During a consultation with our doctor, the areas of hair growth which concern you will be discussed as well as whether your hair type is suitable for treatment with laser.

We have several laser options available at our clinic which is suitable for all skin types, tones and areas of concern

Excess hair or hirsutism is caused, in some instances, by an underlying medical condition or hormonal imbalance. Women with a condition called polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are especially prone to growing unwanted hair on their face, arms and other areas and are ideal candidates for laser treatment as well

If you are pregnant or currently breastfeeding you will not be suitable for laser treatment and will need to wait to await the period of weaning your child before we can embark on a treatment plan. 

The diode laser is proven to work on hair removal and permanent hair reduction on all skin types and tanned skin. To achieve a satisfactory clearance even after 1 session to achieve , 3-5 treatments are typically required. 

Laser Hair Removal provides enhanced comfort during treatment, minimal risk of infection, speed and accuracy and also minimizes skin irritation that other methods may create. Our Laser is a precise instrument, the light parameters that can be adjusted to damage only the hair follicle while minimally affecting the surrounding skin.

You will need to shave the area to be treated before your visit. A thin layer of a special gel will be applied to the area being treated. This acts to both guide the treatment head as the laser light is delivered, and also provides additional protection for the surface of the skin.

The laser hair removal machine has a built-in cooling system, making the treatment more comfortable. The head of the device has a large spot size, meaning big patches of hair can be treated at once, reducing treatment time in comparison to other systems.

You will also be asked to wear special protective glasses during treatment, in order to prevent the light from damaging your eyes.

Most people do not find laser hair removal treatment to be uncomfortable and liken it to the sensation of someone flicking your skin. With the skin cooling system built in the laser head, our laser hair reduction treatment is virtually painless.

There are no major side effects however there might be some mild redness and mild swelling in the area of treatment , which will disappear after a few hours. The skin may also feel itchy for a short period of time. 

Laser treatment will permanently reduce hair growth with noticeable reduction after the first couple of treatment sessions. We use the term hair reduction rather than permanent hair removal since hormonal changes, ageing and other medical factors, can affect future hair growth. Most people however, experience almost permanent  hair removal from a full course of laser treatment.
