Can I remove any hair with laser hair removal?

Can Men Have Laser Hair Removal?

Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?
Laser Hair Removal is described as feeling like the flick of an elastic band. The more sessions you have, the less pain you feel as there are fewer hair follicles targeted.Ā Ā
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
The laser emits light energy, which is absorbed by melanin in the hair. If in the right stage of growth, this causes the hair follicle to overheat and damages the bulb, preventing regrowth. The process is called photothermolysis.
How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Last?
Clients can see a permanent result of up to 90% reduction in hair growth. Results are dependent on hair type and colour and permanent hair reduction that lasts can be achieved.

Is Laser Hair Removal Right For Me?
Treatment is safe on all skin types and colours, so itās suitable for anyone looking for permanent, silky-smooth results.Ā As the laser is attracted to the pigment of the hair follicle, the only consideration is whether your unwanted hair has enough pigment to be treated. Your practitioner will discuss this in your free consultation.
Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?

What If My Skin Is Not Its Natural Colour?
Got a tan? Had a skin reaction to something? No problem, itās just really important that you let us know, as this can make a difference when it comes to providing the best treatment.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Is It Better To Wax Or Have Laser Hair Removal?
Waxing regularly and over long periods of time can cause damage such as darkening and lightening of the skin (hyper and hypo pigmentation) in grown hairs which can lead to scarring.

Can You Get Cancer From Laser Hair Removal?
