FAQs

How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal works by treating the skin with small bursts of concentrated light energy. The pigment in the hair absorbs this light and begins to break down, damaging the hair from the inside-out and hindering the follicle’s ability to produce another. Repeat treatments will be needed to ensure hair growth is permanently lessened.

Does laser hair removal hurt?
You may feel a brief stinging sensation, similar to the ‘twang’ of an elastic band, on your skin during the treatment, but this should only provide discomfort and not pain. If you are worried about your pain sensitivity, speak with your aesthetician before treatment and we may be able to provide some pain relief.

How many treatments will I need?
A course of 6 treatments is usually recommended, though this depends on the size of your treatment area and nature of your hair. Repeat treatments are necessary to ensure the best results. We can discuss your treatment duration at your individual consultation.

Is this treatment permanent?
Laser hair removal achieves permanent growth reduction in your target area. This means some follicles may never produce another hair again after a full course of treatments is completed, but some may still do albeit much less than before. This is why we recommend ‘top-up’ treatments to maintain the best results.
