Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal uses light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. The light converts to heat in the follicle and reduces its ability to grow new hair. Only follicles in the active growth phase respond at each visit, which is why treatment is a course rather than a single appointment.

We plan sessions four to eight weeks apart depending on the area: faces cycle faster than legs. Most clients see a meaningful reduction after six to eight sessions, with occasional maintenance visits after that. Results vary with hair color, skin tone and hormones. Our device settings are chosen for your skin type at a patch test before the first full session.

Every course begins with a patch test at least 48 hours before the first full session. It lets us confirm the right settings for your skin tone and hair, and it gives you a chance to feel the treatment on a small area first. We then book the whole course at once so the spacing works with your hair cycle rather than with gaps in the calendar. Between visits you can shave as often as you like but should avoid waxing, plucking and threading. Most clients notice finer, slower regrowth after the second or third session, and patchy shedding one to three weeks after each visit is normal.
