Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Laser hair removal is a process which works to permanently reduce hair growth in targeted areas. Our specialists carry out the treatment, unwanted hair with lasers to damage or destroy the hair follicles, which ultimately prevents regrowth.
The laser works by permanently damaging and destroying targeted hair follicles, preventing regrowth. The laser emits light energy which is absorbed by the melanin in the hair. This targets the hair roots beneath the skin at specific stages of their growth cycles, damaging the bulb and preventing regrowth, a called photothermolysis. This is why we recommend at least 8 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to ensure all follicles are targeted at the right time.
Laser hair removal is described as feeling like the flick of an elastic band, or it can be a little painful for some. However, as more of the hair follicles are destroyed, the treatment will become less painful. The level of pain experienced will vary depending on the areas being targeted and your individual sensitivity. Our specialists will ensure you are comfortable and your treatment is always safe.
Laser hair removal is approved to deliver permanent hair reduction of up to 90%. You can expect to see your best after a course of 8-12, after which the hair will have reduced dramatically and The Perfect Peel and Superblend skin is silky-smooth. Some clients, however, may need top ups depending on their hormonal changes over time.
