Laser hair removal is an noninvasive and painless treatment used to permanently reduce unwanted hair. Lasers direct light at hair follicles where pigment absorbs it and destroys it – ultimately making future growth impossible.
Laser hair removal works best on pale skin with dark hair and isn’t as effective for those who are tanned (natural or fake). To maximize effectiveness, allow any tanning effects to fade before beginning laser hair removal treatments.
The Cost
Cost of laser hair removal will differ between providers. Branding often plays an influential role, with luxury brands charging more for services than their budget counterparts. Patients can often find more competitive prices by researching several providers’ websites and pricing details for laser hair removal treatments, which is where patients should begin their research when considering laser hair removal as a treatment option.
An effective way to determine how much laser hair removal will cost is to arrange a consultation. A specialist can then assess your skin and hair type to assess if you qualify for treatment, providing a full breakdown of costs for any number of sessions required to reach desired results.
Most individuals with light hair will require multiple sessions in order to see permanent results; those with darker locks may require less treatments; this will be determined during an initial consultation. It’s advisable to avoid sunbeds or tanning booths for several weeks prior to starting treatments as light-based technology works on melanin within your locks – tanning may reduce its efficacy.
As part of your treatment, a practitioner will apply topical numbing cream to ensure you remain relaxed throughout. Next, they’ll activate their laser and pass it over your skin while focusing on hair follicles to destroy them; depending on the size and location of the area being addressed this process could take anywhere between a few minutes and an hour.
Laser treatments offer a safe, quick, and permanent solution to unwanted hair removal. If you’re fed up with shaving, waxing or depilatory creams being ineffective in keeping unwanted hair at bay, laser treatments could be an ideal long-term solution that saves both money and effort in terms of maintenance costs.

The Area
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive, pain free treatment to permanently rid oneself of unwanted body and facial hair. A laser beam delivers highly concentrated light into each follicle to damage it and stop new hair growth; suitable for all skin types including dark ones; this permanent solution requires multiple sessions depending on size and cycle; your treatment provider can advise you accordingly.
Laser hair removal is typically quick, effective, and pain-free for most patients. Depending on your skin type and desired level of comfort, topical anesthetic may be necessary prior to your session for added support – but this is not always necessary. Once treatment has concluded, there is no downtime – immediately returning back to daily activities!
As part of your preparation, we recommend not waxing, plucking or using depilatory creams on the area you are having treated at least six weeks before your appointment as this can remove pigment from hair follicles and diminish treatment results. Furthermore, sun exposure or fake tanning prior to this session could result in discoloration to skin which affects how well treatment will perform.
At your appointment, you will be asked to change into a gown and protective goggles will be provided, then the treatment area will be shaved so the laser can focus on the follicle beneath the surface of your skin. Finally, our laser technician will apply topical anesthetic in order to reduce any discomfort you might experience during treatment.
As part of your laser hair removal treatment, the area exposed to heat from the laser may experience slight reddening and swelling; this should resolve in 24-48 hours and be protected with quality sun lotion. If any prolonged redness or swelling occurs after receiving laser hair removal treatment, please notify your clinic immediately.
The Technology
Laser hair removal is a safe, non-evasive, painless treatment performed over multiple sessions to provide permanent reduction of unwanted hair. It works by emitting highly concentrated light beams into the skin that target pigment in hair follicles to disrupt them and stop further growth – this treatment requires multiple sessions but many find the results highly worthwhile.
Candidates for laser treatment who possess dark hair and pale skin make ideal candidates, as this contrast ensures the follicle is damaged without harming any surrounding tissues. Laser therapy cannot work effectively on tanned or bleached hair due to pigments present which absorb laser light and may prevent successful treatments altogether.
During treatment, you’ll sit or lie down while a trained practitioner applies gel or cooling air spray to the area being treated. While you may experience slight discomfort during this step, it should be short-lived and painless; depending on your skin type you may experience redness and swelling which should subside within 48 hours.
An effective way to assess your sensitivity is visiting a salon for a patch test. This step should be completed prior to beginning laser hair removal treatment as this will determine whether or not it’s suitable for you, while consultation and patch tests also help identify any health or hormone-related conditions which could potentially impede results.
Local market standards also influence the cost of laser hair removal treatments. Larger markets – particularly those promoting aesthetics – tend to experience greater competition among their vendors, which may help drive prices down.

The Experience
Since decades, both men and women have struggled against unwanted hair growth using different techniques such as shaving, waxing, plucking and depilatory creams – only temporarily providing solutions; for many this makes laser hair removal the ultimate choice to permanently reduce unwanted hair growth.
Laser light pulses are used to destroy hair follicles responsible for growing unwanted hair in most body areas – armpits, legs and upper lips being particularly popular choices. Although this treatment is generally considered relatively painless, each individual’s pain threshold varies so it may be wise to take mild pain relievers like Paracetamol prior to your session for added peace of mind.
Consultation is an integral component of laser hair removal as it will enable us to determine whether or not you are suitable for treatment, as well as give you an opportunity to understand what will happen during and after the process.
At your consultation, you will have an opportunity to ask any questions that arise about laser hair removal and be informed as to the number of treatments necessary to reach your desired results. It is essential to remember that laser hair removal is a gradual process that may take multiple visits before long-term results appear.
Laser hair removal works best when hairs are in their early growth phase, which means avoiding tanning or using fake tan prior to an appointment is of vital importance. Furthermore, any medications such as Aspirin or Ibuprofen that could increase skin sensitivity should also be avoided before having treatment done.
Laser hair removal has become an increasingly popular treatment, and with good reason: it is safe and painless. Before making any decisions about laser hair removal treatments in your area or consulting with specialists on any matter, it is wise to research all providers in your area thoroughly in order to find the most cost-effective price point available to you. This way you will be sure of receiving optimal care at all times.
