Laser hair removal

Preliminary setup requires cleansing of the area to be treated. The laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. Without damaging the surrounding tissue, controlled pulses of light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the hair follicles. The heat discourages and ultimately destroys the potential for regrowth. Post-treatment procedures include cleansing the treated area and application of a sunblock. Large areas such as backs, shoulders, abdomens and legs can be treated rapidly. Facial areas such as lips, chin and beard can be treated in minutes.

The Benefits

• The FDA approved this technology for permanent hair reduction.
• Less pain and discomfort than other treatment methods.
• Large areas can be treated quickly.
• Chance of scarring and pigmentation changes is minimised.
• You experience no “downtime”, regular activities are resumed immediately.

Because the laser affects hair follicles only when they are in the growth phase, more than one treatment may be necessary to disable hair follicles that subsequently enter the growth phase. During your consultation, you will be advised as to the approximate number of treatments you will need.

Millions of men and women have been successfully treated. Treatments are customised according to hair colour, texture and location on the body. Most hair colours can be treated with a high level of patient satisfaction. Treatment is effective on all skin types.

This procedure is tolerated well by most patients, as the laser functions so quickly that only a mild sting is felt. The application of a cooling device helps eliminate the sting sensation. Local anaesthesia or pain medication is not required, but topical anaesthetic is an option for more sensitive areas.

Side effects are rare. Sensitivity, irritation, or redness sometimes occurs around the treatment area, but disappears quickly or within a few days. You will be notified during your consultation if you are susceptible to these side effects. You must limit your sun exposure immediately prior to and after treatment. This will greatly minimise the risk of side effects
