How does laser hair removal work?
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal harnesses the power of selective photothermolysis to deliver precise and efficient hair reduction without invasive methods. A specialized laser directs highly concentrated light beams at the melanin within hair follicles.
This energy is then converted into heat, impairing the follicles' ability to generate new hair growth. This targeted approach ensures minimal impact on the surrounding skin while effectively treating hair follicles.
Hair growth occurs in cycles, with the most active phase being the anagen or growth phase. Laser hair removal yields optimal results during this phase, hence the recommendation for multiple sessions to target hair at its most susceptible stage.

During your initial consultation, one of our hair removal experts will evaluate your specific skin type and hair colour. Our advanced laser technology targets the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles. While those with darker hair and lighter skin often see the most significant results, advancements in laser technology now allow us to treat a variety of hair and skin types effectively. Our experts will provide an honest assessment to ensure the best outcomes.
If you're not a suitable candidate, we'll let you know. Generally, guests with very light blonde, red, or gray hair find waxing to be the preferred method of hair removal. Our laser specialist will make the final determination on your suitability, so even if you have doubts, we encourage everyone to book a free consultation.
