Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles. The light is absorbed, converting to heat, which damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth. This process is most effective on hairs in the active growth phase, so multiple sessions are needed to catch all hairs at the right time.
While not entirely permanent, laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction. Most clients experience a significant decrease in hair growth after a full course of treatments, with any regrowth being finer and lighter. Periodic maintenance sessions may be required to maintain results.
Typically, clients require 8 to 8 sessions spaced 6 to 10 weeks apart. The exact number depends on factors like the treatment area, hair thickness, and individual hair growth cycles.
Most clients describe the sensation as a mild discomfort, similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Advanced systems like the Candela GentleMax Pro incorporate cooling technology to enhance comfort during treatment.
Yes, modern laser technology allows for safe and effective treatment across various skin tones. The Candela GentleMax Pro, for instance, combines two laser wavelengths to cater to all skin types.
Laser hair removal is most effective on dark hair due to its higher melanin content. Lighter hair colors like red may not absorb the laser energy as effectively, making the treatment less successful. It will not work on blonde, grey or white hair.
Common treatment areas include the face, underarms, legs, bikini line, back, and chest. Most body areas with unwanted hair can be treated, except for regions like the inner ear, nostrils, and around the eyes.
Shave the treatment area 12 to 24 hours before your session.
Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least two weeks prior.
Do not wax, pluck, or use hair removal creams in the treatment area for four weeks before your session.
Ensure the skin is clean and free from lotions, deodorants, or makeup on the day of treatment.
Avoid hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment.
Apply a soothing aloe vera gel or recommended post-laser cream to the treated area.
Protect the area from sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum SPF daily.
Refrain from waxing or plucking hairs between sessions.
Temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, or mild discomfort in the treated area. These typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days. Following aftercare instructions minimises the risk of adverse effects
