Laser Hair Removal

It’s a laser treatment for hair removal that targets pigment in the hair, heating the follicle to reduce regrowth. Because hair grows in cycles, treatments are done as a series for consistent laser hair reduction.

Many people see long-term reduction after completing a series, but maintenance sessions may be helpful over time, especially for hormonal areas like the face.

Laser is best described as long-term hair reduction. If you’re looking for permanent hair removal in Melbourne, it’s worth knowing that results can be long-lasting, but “permanent” varies person to person and maintenance may be needed.

When performed by trained professionals using proper settings for your skin type, it’s widely considered safe. Temporary redness, warmth, and mild swelling around follicles can happen. Your consultation is where we screen for anything that changes the plan.

Risks go up when settings aren’t matched to your skin tone or when aftercare is ignored, especially with sun exposure. That’s why skin assessment, patch testing when needed, and strict sun care matter.

It varies by area, hair thickness, hormones, and consistency. Many people need multiple sessions as part of a plan. We’ll give a realistic range during your consultation.

Intervals depend on the area and growth cycle. Facial areas are often booked closer together than body areas. We’ll space your sessions based on how your hair is responding.

Cost depends on the area and whether you book a single session or a bundle like Brazilian plus underarms or full body packs. Check the pricing section or book a consultation for a plan.

Shave the area, avoid waxing and plucking beforehand, avoid sun exposure and tanning, and come with clean skin. Tell us about skincare products you’re using in the area.

Many clinics choose not to treat during pregnancy out of caution and comfort, even though the laser targets hair follicles and not the baby. If you’re pregnant, ask us before booking so we can advise based on your situation and our clinic policy.

Often it can be fine, but it depends on your skin, hormones, and the area being treated. Let us know you’re breastfeeding so we can confirm the safest approach for you.

Laser should not be used directly over tattoo ink because pigment can absorb energy and increase the chance of burns or changes to the tattoo. We can usually treat tattoos with safe spacing.

It’s best to avoid fake tan right after treatment until the skin is calm. Self-tanner can also interfere with treatment if it’s on the skin before your session. If you use it, plan your timing and ask us what window we recommend.

Same answer as above. Wait until the treated skin is settled, and avoid having self-tanner on the area before your next appointment.

A close shave is needed, but shaving too close to the appointment can irritate some skin types. Many people do best shaving the night before or earlier the same day. If you shaved 2 hours before and your skin feels fine, it may still be okay, but tell your technician if you’re feeling sensitive.
