Our medical-grade Diode Laser uses advanced laser technology, combining three wavelengths and is the gold standard in laser hair removal for all skin tones.

The sensation can be described as a mild ‘plucking’ or ‘flicking’ sensation. Built-in cooling to -4°C provides protection of the skins surface and a comfortable treatment.  

Laser Hair Removal works by converting the laser energy into heat and selectively targeting the pigment in the hair follicle to inhibit future hair growth, while minimising any risk of damage to surrounding skin.

While some lasers may not be safe or suitable for darker skin colours, we can safely treat all skin types and genders to provide you with the confidence of a hair free body or face. 

While you will see results after your first session, we recommend a minimum of 8-10 sessions of laser hair removal for lasting results.

Treatments will be spaced 4-8 weeks apart, depending on the part of the body being treated.

After completing the recommended course of treatments, an occasional maintenance session may be required.

Other factors can affect results, like genetics, medication, and hormonal factors. For example, a common condition resulting in hormone imbalance is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Ongoing laser hair removal maintenance may be required to treat hair growth associated with this condition.

While the treatment is minimally invasive, there are a few common experiences and side effects that you should be aware of. Here’s what to expect.

• Mild redness and swelling around the treatment area is normal and can resemble a light sunburn. This typically lasts anywhere from 1 to 2 hours but can persist for up to 24-48 hours in some cases.

• Your skin may feel sensitive or tender immediately after the treatment. This sensation is temporary and should subside within a few hours.

• You might also notice slight itchiness as the skin heals, but avoid scratching the area to prevent irritation or infection.

• Within 1 to 2 weeks after your treatment, the treated hair will start to shed and fall out. This is a normal part of the hair removal process, indicating that the hair follicle has been successfully targeted by the laser.

• If you notice any significant discomfort, consult with your practitioner.

• Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before your treatment.

• Shave the night before your appointment. 

• No exfoliating with AHA or BHA’s such as glycolic, lactic or salicylic products/peels on the area for 7 days pre and post treatment.

• Attend your appointment with clean skin, clear of any products, fake tan or makeup. 

• Do not pluck, wax or thread the hairs for 3-4 weeks before laser as removing the hair follicle and root will mean the laser will not target those hairs. 

• Do not undergo other skin treatments on the area for 2 weeks before, such as chemical peels, microneedling, etc. If you are unsure of any treatments or products you have been applying to the treatment area, let us know before your treatment and we can advise if you are able to proceed with your treatment or if we should wait a week or 2.

• No direct sun exposure or tanning beds for 7 days.

• Wear SPF30+ sunblock with both UVA/UVB protection.

• No AHA or BHA’s such as glycolic, lactic or salicylic products/peels on the area for 7 days pre and post treatment.

• No hot baths/showers for 24 hours - tepid water only as excessive heat may increase skin irritation.

• No heat treatments such as spas, saunas or excessive exercise for 24-48 hours.

• No swimming in chlorinated pools for 48 hours.

• No plucking or waxing in the areas that have been lasered.

• Try not to scratch, even if itchy. If itchiness occurs, apply aloe vera gel.

You must inform your therapist if you have had recent prolonged or direct exposure in the past 7-14 days at any of your laser appointments. Prolonged sun exposure before laser can increase the risk of adverse side effects and burns.

An SPF30+ must be used daily to protect at all times as your skin is more sensitive to the sun following laser treatments.

Keeping the skin as close to its natural colour will ensure better results quicker and safely. Whilst our machines can treat tanned and even darker skins, it may be necessary to turn down the intensity of the treatment settings if the skin is much darker due to tanning.

As the laser is attracted to the pigment in the target, extra melanin in the skin can increase the lasers attraction to the skin instead of the hair, and therefore, increase the risk of burning.

Our SHR (Super Hair Removal) Diode Laser can safely treat all skin types (1-6) with minimal discomfort.

If you struggle with in-grown hairs or shaving rash, laser is a great way of addressing these problems as the hair follicle is prevented from future growth and significantly reduces the need of shaving. The reduction in hair growth and skin irritation that is achieved from laser hair removal can be a significant confidence booster.

After even one treatment, our clients see a noticeable difference and reduction in their hair growth and hair texture.
