Laser hair removal is a proven method to permanently reduce/remove hair growth from the body. Laser hair removal is a virtually pain-free alternative to epilation, shaving creams, razor shaving or waxing. The laser from the machine emits ‘light’ energy, which targets the hairs. The pigment in the hair absorbs the light, allowing the heat to travel down the hair follicles that lie beneath the surface of the skin using medical-grade laser. This destroys the hair root and the interconnectors connecting it to the blood supply, leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. As a result – preventing the regrowth of more hair while giving lasting results of smooth skin. And don’t worry, it only affects the specific structures of the hair and follicle, leaving the surrounding areas of the skin untouched.

Laser hair removal is an extremely effective treatment to treat all skin types. When removing unwanted hairs, you want results that are going to last. Laser hair removal is the perfect treatment for smooth and toned skin without cuts and razor burns. With this treatment, you achieve long-term hair reduction which gives you a boost of confidence in your own body. With this type of hair removal, you save your time and money. Just imagine having the freedom to wear a dress anytime or spontaneously going on a holiday without worrying to fit in that last-minute wax appointment. Laser hair removal treatments are very effective at treating ingrown hairs. Also one of the biggest benefits is no more ingrown hairs!

The feeling of the usual laser on your skin is like a fast, hot elastic band being snapped and moves on therefore a slight tingling sensation. However, our Soprano ICE Platinum laser hair removal system that we use is the only clinically proven method of laser hair removal that is virtually painless! The unique laser wavelengths of Soprano ICE Platinum are able to effectively damage the hair follicle, whilst preventing injury and pain to the surrounding tissue. At the same time, integrated ICE technology continuously cools the skin surface while preventing superficial burns and the sensation of pain, as well as the cooling system provides you maximum comfort. Just think about it – the laser removal of the hair is pain-free than having your hairs ripped out by the roots with waxing-particularly in sensitive areas like the bikini line. Remember those? Ouch!

You can expect almost immediate results within a few days of your single treatment. It is recommended to complete a full course to experience up to 90% of permanent hair loss.

For optimal results, a full course of 6 – 8 treatments or 10 treatments for darker skin tones is advised to achieve long term hair reduction. This all depends on your hair type but works best on darker hair types. For the best result, we recommend you wait around 6 weeks between your laser body treatment sessions and around 4 weeks for the laser facial treatments.

Laser hair removalis a simple but effective permanent hair removal treatment that suits all skin types and has everyone talking. So, whether it’s something you’ve been debating for a while or if you think you would simply like to give it a go, now is the time! This treatment is guaranteed to give you the best results. Depending on your skin type and hair type, you might need more than one course of laser hair removal and your aesthetician will let you know how many courses of sessions are required for best results.

You can notice results from your very first session but this is very much dependent on the area of skin being treated, as well as the individual client’s skin and hair type. As we all have individual skin types and hair growth differences, results vary from client to client. However, during your initial consultation, our experienced Aestheticians will learn more about your skin type and how you will react to the treatment, to give you a clearer understanding of when you can expect to see impressive results.

There are very minimal side effects from laser treatments. The intensity of the laser will be determined by your skin type and the area being treated. With our innovative technology, you can leave our clinic and instantly get back to your everyday tasks, even the gym. There are a number of pre and post-care recommendations that you can take into account, and our experts will let you know about any concerns you may have. It is also recommended that you avoid things that can increase sensitivity such as sun exposure and caffeine – so save that cup of coffee afterward.
