Laser Hair Removal

Imagine never having to worry about shaving before a holiday or a last-minute night out.

Laser hair removal offers a safe, effective and long-lasting solution to unwanted hair, helping you spend less time maintaining your skin and more time enjoying it.

At The Laser Lounge, we use advanced medical-grade triple wavelength diode laser technology to target hair follicles at the root, dramatically reducing future hair growth while keeping your skin comfortable throughout treatment.

How does laser hair removal work?

Hair contains a natural pigment called melanin.

Our laser delivers carefully controlled pulses of light that are absorbed by this pigment. The heat travels down the hair shaft and into the follicle, damaging its ability to produce new hair.

Over the following days and weeks, treated hairs naturally shed, leaving your skin feeling smoother after each session.

Because hair grows in different cycles, only hairs in the active growth phase can be successfully treated. This is why multiple treatments are needed to achieve the best possible results.

How many treatments will I need?

One of the biggest misconceptions about laser hair removal is that one or two treatments are enough.

The reality is that most clients require 6-10 treatments, with appointments typically spaced every 4-8 weeks, depending on the treatment area and your hair growth cycle.

Some people may need additional sessions, while others choose occasional maintenance treatments to keep their results looking their best.

Results vary from person to person and depend on factors including:

• Hair colour and thickness
• Skin tone
• Hormonal influences
• Age
• Genetics
• Treatment area
• Previous methods of hair removal

We’ll always give you an honest assessment during your consultation and create a treatment plan that’s tailored specifically to you.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction, not a guarantee of permanent hair removal.

Many clients experience an 80-90% reduction in hair growth after completing their recommended course of treatment. Any hair that does return is often finer, lighter and much slower growing.

However, hormones, pregnancy, menopause, certain medical conditions and natural ageing can all stimulate new hair follicles over time, which is why occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended to keep your results looking their best.

Does it hurt?

Most clients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the treatment is, almost completely painless unlike IPL hair removal.

Our advanced diode laser incorporates powerful skin cooling technology, helping to keep your skin cool throughout treatment while protecting the surrounding tissue.

Many people describe the sensation as:

• A warm flick against the skin
• A light elastic band snap
• Mild warmth in the treatment area

Areas with thicker, darker hair may feel slightly more sensitive, but treatments are generally very quick and well tolerated.

Which areas can be treated?

Laser hair removal is suitable for both men and women and can be used on most areas of the body, including:

• Face, Upper lip, Chin & Neck
• Underarms, Arms, Chest, Back & Abdomen
• Bikini line, Brazilian & Hollywood
• Legs, Feet & Hands

What should I expect after treatment?

Following treatment you may notice:

• Mild redness
• Slight warmth
• Temporary sensitivity around the follicles

These reactions are completely normal and usually settle within a few hours.

Over the next one to three weeks, the treated hairs will gradually shed. This is a normal part of the process and a sign that the follicles have responded to treatment.
