About unwanted hair removal

There is no need to live with unwanted hair. Excessive or unwanted hair can result from polycystic ovarian syndrome, high levels of androgens, genetic predisposition or using medications which may impact testosterone levels.

 

 

 

How Laser or IPL hair removal works

Our clinics have state of the art medical grade laser or IPL machines to reduce unwanted hair by up to 80% after 10-12 treatments (results will vary depending on age, skin type, gender and genetics). These machines will focus high energy through the skin to the base of the hair follicle. The light from that energy is absorbed by the hair follicle pigment, resulting in damage to the hair follicle over time so that hair can no longer grow.

 

Our clinical therapists will tailor a treatment program based on your skin type and preferred treatment area to leave your skin silky smooth and hair free. Book a complimentary consultation to enable us to assess your skin, hair type and provide accurate advice on any questions on the top of your mind.

 

Before and after care considerations include: Avoid spray tan or tanning creams, waxing, plucking, epilating, electrolysis or bleaching the hair for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to any treatment. Shave the area 12-24 hours prior to the appointment. Apply your therapist recommended products every 4 hours after your treatment.
