LASER HAIR REMOVAL is the only permanent hair removal method, which abolishes the traditional techniques.

It is suitable for women and men in any body area, removing safely unwanted hair without damaging the pores and skin structure. It is a permanent method, 96% of hair is destroyed, however, it requires special training and a doctor’s license to perform.

A specific wavelength of the light beam causes the absorption of energy from the melanin of the hair, destroying the hair follicle.

By this procedure the root of the hair is destroyed while we have formation of new hair, leaving unaffected the melanin.

We use only state of the art Candela laser technology, known as GentleLase and GentleYag. Unlike other treatments, the GentleLase and GentleYag process is easy- requiring no creams or gels and no pre-treatment waxing. With its large spot size and fast repetition rate, these pioneering lasers have the capabilities to provide faster and more effective treatments than any other laser devices currently available. This cutting edge laser technology enables us to provide a first class service at affordable prices.

The GentleLASE 755 nm Alexandrite Laser is a premier hair removal laser, providing quick (75% faster than conventional lasers), comfortable and effective treatment. GentleLASE Alexandrite is also very versatile with the capability of treating pigmented lesions

The 1064 nm Nd:YAG is the safest wavelength for permanent hair reduction on all darker skin types and tanned skin.

What You Need To Know
  • Avoid the sun 2 days before and after the treatment
  • You MUST avoid bleaching, plucking or waxing hair for 6 weeks prior to
    treatment.
  • Do not use depilatory creams 1 week prior to treatment.
  • If had a history of cold sores, zovirax may be used prior to treatment and
    continued one week after treatment.
  • The use of tanning cream must be discontinued two weeks before
    treatment.
  • The skin is cleaned, providing wet wipes to the patient.
  • When treating the upper lip, the teeth maybe protected with gauze. The
    gauze also serves to support the lip during treatment allowing a surface to
    push again.
  • Skin color can compete as a target for the 1064 nm wavelength with
    melanin in the hair. A cooling pack will be used with the laser to minimize
    skin damage.
  • Safety considerations are important during the laser procedure. The
    patient and the operator will wear protective eyewear during the
    procedure.
  • Immediately after treatment, there may be redness and swelling at the
    treatment area. It may feel like mild sunburn.
  • The application of iced water during the first few hours after treatment will
    reduce any discomfort.
  • The application of aloe-vera gel can continue at home.
  • Makeup may be used immediately after the treatment unless there is
    epidermal blistering.
  • Avoid sun exposure for 4 days to reduce the chance of hyperpigmentation or
    darker pigmentation. Use sunscreen SPF 30 or greater at all times though out
    the course of treatment.
  • Avoid picking or scratching the treated skin. Do not use any other hair removal
    treatment methods (waxing, electrolysis or tweezing) that will disturb the hair
Frequently Asked Questions

Laser hair removal takes approximately 8 treatments depending on the hair type. This may also vary depending on gender, size and amount of hair.

The hair growth cycle has three phases, the anagen which is substantially the growth phase, the catagen and telogen in which the hair falls. The treatments are effective when the hair is in the growth phase (anagen phase). The sessions are repeated every 45 -50 days, in order to make the hair stay in the anagen phase and for the hair removal to be effective.

There can be some mild discomfort during laser hair removal treatment but it is often described as having an elastic band pinged against the skin.The heat only hits the hair not the entire skin like waxing does, so most clients find laser a lot less painful and faster per session than waxing! As we destroy more hair it will become less painful.

Most clients will get up to 80 % hair reduction with the recommended course and top up treatments as long as the interval is maintained.

Yes of course on the body! On the face we request you leave the area between sessions so we can closely monitor the progress for you and use the best settings as the hair can get very light and thin quickly.The body is fine to shave if you see any growth.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding are cases of relative contraindication, however we should have the consent of your gynecologist.
