Laser Hair Removal

At The Aesthetic Skin Clinic our lasers are suitable for all skin types. We can safely and effectivley treat caucasian skin types with our alexandrite wavelength and darker skin types with our ND:YAG wavelength.

Our laser light is attracted to dark pigment within the hair follicle which travels down the hair shaft to the root cutting off the blood supply to the hair follicle so the hair can no longer grow.

You should be seeing up to 50% reduction in your first 1-2 treatments however multiple treatments are required to damage the hair follicle for long term reduction of the hair.

When starting out with laser hair removal, treatments should be every 4-6 weeks consistently until you no longer have hair growth coming through for that time frame. As the hair becomes less, we can start spacing your treatments out further and further to 6-8 weeks, 10-12 weeks until reaching a complete maintenance stage.

There is very minimal downtime associated with laser hair removal. Mild redness and swelling around the hair follicle can be present for 1-24hrs post-treatment. The hair shaft is expected to fall out within 10-14 days.

Shaving is required 24-48hrs prior to treatment. No sun exposure or fake tan residue for minimum 2 weeks prior to treatment. Aftercare requires the use of a 100% pure aloe vera gel for 24hrs post-treatment.
