Seeking a better solution to remove your unwanted hairs than shaving, waxing and plucking? Or tired of those razor bumps and breakouts that often visit you after shaving? Then, you are an ideal candidate for our laser hair removal. Experience the convenience of smooth, hair-free skin with laser treatment.
Laser hair treatment is a non-invasive, effective method for long-term hair reduction. It uses laser energy to target and disable hair follicles, preventing its growth. This procedure is safe, virtually painless, and suitable for various areas of the body. With multiple sessions, it provides smooth, hair-free skin, reducing the need for regular shaving or waxing. Common treatment areas include legs, upper lip, armpits, bikini line, and chin.
During the procedure, a topical anaesthetic cream will be applied for your comfort. You’ll wear eye protection while the laser equipment is adjusted based on your skin’s characteristics. The process involves cleaning the area, applying a protective gel, and experiencing sensations similar to warm pinpricks or small rubber band snaps. The duration varies from a few minutes to an hour depending on the treatment area.
Following the procedure, it’s common to observe skin redness and a sensation of warmth. You may experience a mild sunburn-like feeling, which can be reduced by applying cold compresses and moisturisers. If you’ve undergone facial treatment, you can resume wearing makeup the following day. For areas exposed to the sun, it’s advisable to use sunscreen after one month.

The answer is yes. The U.S Food and Drug Administration approved it as a safe method for hair removal in 1997. However, laser hair removal is only safe when a licensed technician performs the procedure.
During your consultation, make sure your technician has the proper certifications as required by your state.
For most people, laser hair removal does not hurt. However, it all depends on your threshold for pain. Most people say that it feels like snapping a rubber band against the skin. But if you’re overly sensitive to pain, you may experience some minor discomfort.
Fortunately, there are ways to reduce the discomfort. Prepare properly and follow a strict aftercare program. This will reduce pain and provide the most effective results.
Laser hair removal involves the use of laser pulses. These pulses emit light into the skin that destroys the root and follicle of the hair. When the root and follicle are destroyed, hair can no longer grow.
For this process to work, the hair must be targeted during an active growth phase. However, individual hairs usually grow at different rates. Therefore, it takes several treatment sessions to capture every hair in the growth phase and produce optimal results.
The cost of laser hair removal varies depending upon the area of the body you want to treat and how many sessions you need. The larger the area, the more time it will require. The amount of time will determine the exact price of treatment.
Some people see permanent results, while some people may need a touch-up treatment every six to twelve months. Results vary depending on your hair type and skin type. Proper preparation and aftercare can also affect how long the results last.
To prepare for laser hair removal, avoid plucking, waxing, and tanning for six weeks prior to your first treatment. In the days before treatment, avoid taking medications such as blood thinners, NSAIDs, and pain relievers. Take a shower and shave right before your treatment, but don’t apply any lotions, moisturizers, or sunscreens to the skin.
It is best to play it safe and avoid laser hair removal while you’re pregnant. There is no evidence to suggest that it is unsafe, but there have not been long-term studies to analyze the effect of the laser on an unborn child.
To protect your unborn baby, wait until after you’ve given birth to begin laser hair removal treatment.
Laser removal can be performed on any area of the body except the eyelids. The most popular treatment areas are the legs, back, arms, chest, upper lip, underarms, and bikini area.
You can also get laser hair removal on your ears, nose, scalp, forehead, eyebrows, and other parts of your face.
Anyone can get laser hair removal, regardless of skin color or hair type. However, people with light skin and dark hair tend to see faster and better results than people with light hair or a darker skin tone. Any man or woman can have the treatments, though pregnant women should wait until after they’ve given birth to begin their sessions.
The side effects are minimal.
Some people experience temporary redness, itching, and swelling of the skin right after treatment. These side effects usually go away within a few hours, and most can be soothed by applying aloe vera to the treated area.
In rare cases, some people may see scars, burns, or blisters. But these side effects usually occur only in people who do not follow the proper aftercare plan.
