Laser hair removal
Experience smooth, long-lasting results with our cutting-edge laser Alexandrite and Diode hair removal, tailored for all skin types and delivered with precision.
How does laser hair removal work?
The GentleMax Pro Plus and Horizon Diamond Diode lasers target the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles. The laser energy heats the follicles, damaging them and inhibiting future hair growth. The GentleMax Pro combines Alexandrite and lasers, making it effective for both light and dark skin tones, while the Diode laser provides powerful deep penetration for thicker hair.
What type of skin laser hair removal good for?
This service is suitable for almost anyone seeking to reduce hair growth on areas such as the face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini. It works best for individuals with darker hair and lighter skin, but the technology used (particularly the Alexandrite GentleMax Pro) has advanced to safely treat darker skin tones as well. People with blonde, red, or gray hair may experience less effectiveness, as these hair types have less melanin for the laser to target.
How many sessions of laser hair removal will I need?
On average, clients require 6 to 8 sessions for optimal results. Hair grows in cycles, and laser treatment is most effective during the growth phase, so multiple sessions are needed to target all hairs. The exact number depends on your hair type, skin tone, and the area being treated. Sessions are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Is laser hair removal painful?
Most people describe the sensation as a quick snap, similar to the feeling of a rubber band against the skin. The GentleMax Pro and Diode lasers are equipped with cooling systems to minimize discomfort during the treatment. While some areas of the body may be more sensitive, the cooling features help make the procedure more comfortable overall.
How to prepare for laser hair removal procedure?
1. Shave the Treatment Area:
You should shave the area 24 hours before your appointment to allow the laser to focus on the hair follicles.
2. Avoid Sun Exposure:
Stay out of the sun for at least 2 weeks before your session, as tanned skin can interfere with the laser's effectiveness.
3. Skip Waxing and Plucking:
You should avoid waxing or plucking the hair for at least 4 weeks before your session because the laser needs to target the hair root.
4. Avoid Skincare Products:
Refrain from using products that contain retinoids or strong exfoliants before your treatment.
