About Laser Hair Removal
Treated areas:Abdomen, Arms, Back, Chest, Foot, Chin, Jawline, Hair, Hairline
It’s a safe, non-surgical treatment that uses controlled light energy to reduce hair growth long-term and give you smoother skin.
The light is absorbed by the colour (pigment) in your hair. This turns into heat, which gently damages the hair root so hair grows back much slower, finer, or not at all.
How It Works
- Targets hair colour: The laser light focuses only on the pigment in hair, not your skin.
- Gentle heat action: Heat damages the hair root without hurting the surrounding skin.
- Long-lasting results: After several sessions, hair becomes thinner, lighter, and grows far less often.
What It Does For You
✅ Long-term hair reduction
- 80–90% less hair growth
- Skin feels smooth
- Any hair that does grow back is soft and thin
✅ Fewer ingrown hairs & irritation: Great for stopping razor bumps, redness, and ingrown hairs, perfect for areas like the bikini line, underarms, face, and neck.
✅ Less maintenance: Shave or wax far less often; your skin stays smooth effortlessly.
Common Treatment Areas
- Face: Upper lip, chin, sideburns, jawline, beard shaping
- Upper Body: Underarms, arms, chest, back, stomach
- Lower Body: Bikini line, Brazilian, legs, feet & toes
How Many Sessions Do You Need?

Your Timeline
Preparation
- Avoid sun-tanning of treated area for 4 weeks before each session
- Do not wax, epilate, or use depilatory cream for 4 weeks (shaving is fine)
- Shave the area 24 hours before your appointment
- Avoid retinoids or sensitising topicals on the area for 7 days
- Inform your practitioner of any recent antibiotics, photosensitising medications, or skin conditions
Followup Care
- Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen to treated areas at all times during the course
- Mild redness and perifollicular oedema (tiny bumps around follicles) resolve within 24 hours — this is normal and expected
- Avoid heat (sauna, hot bath, exercise) for 48 hours after each session
- Moisturise treated area daily; do not exfoliate for 48 hours
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it hurt?
The sensation is often described as a warm snap or rubber-band flick, brief and tolerable. Modern devices with integrated cooling are significantly more comfortable than older systems.
How many sessions do I actually need?
The hair cycle determines this, hair must be in active growth (anagen) phase to be effectively targeted. Since only 20–30% of follicles are in anagen at any given time, multiple sessions are required to treat the full population of follicles.
Is it safe for all skin colours?
With appropriate wavelength selection (1064 nm Nd:YAG for darker skin), laser hair removal is safe for all skin types, including Chinese skin. Your practitioner will perform a test patch first.
