FAQs
Everything You Need to Know
⸻
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser energy targets the pigment in the hair follicle, heating it to reduce future hair growth without damaging the surrounding skin.
⸻
Is laser hair removal permanent?
It provides long-term hair reduction. Most clients experience significantly less regrowth, with occasional maintenance sessions needed.
⸻
Does it hurt?
Most people describe it as a quick snapping sensation—mild and very tolerable. Modern technology helps keep treatments as comfortable as possible and our three-wavelength laser has a cooling system to minimise discomfort.
⸻
How many sessions will I need?
Typically 6–8 sessions are recommended, spaced a few weeks apart, depending on the treatment area and your hair growth cycle.
⸻
Can all skin types be treated?
Many skin types can be treated safely. Your suitability will be assessed during your consultation to ensure the best results.
⸻
How should I prepare for my appointment?
-
Shave the area 24 hours before treatment
-
Avoid sun exposure and tanning
-
Do not wax or pluck before sessions
⸻
What should I avoid after treatment?
Avoid heat (hot showers, saunas, gyms), sun exposure, and harsh skincare products for 24–48 hours.
⸻
Can I shave between sessions?
Yes—shaving is fine. Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading as these remove the hair follicle needed for treatment.
⸻
Are there any side effects?
You may experience temporary redness or sensitivity, similar to mild sunburn. This usually settles quickly.
⸻
How long do results last?
Results are long-lasting, with smoother skin and reduced regrowth. Maintenance sessions may be needed every 6–12 months.
⸻
Is there any downtime?
No—most clients return to normal activities straight after treatment, with minimal restrictions.
