and it is easy to understand why ….
Legs, Bikini & Underarms Hair Removal are our top requested treatments, with laser hair removal being the popular option for removing hair from the legs, bikini area and underarms due to its effectiveness and long-term benefits.
Here’s a rundown of what you need to know
How It Works
Laser Technology – Laser hair removal uses concentrated light beams to target melanin (the pigment) in hair follicles. The light is converted into heat, which damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth.
Hair Growth Cycles – Hair grows in cycles—anagen (growth), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting). Laser hair removal is most effective during the anagen phase, so multiple sessions are usually required to catch hairs in this stage.
Benefits
Long-Term Results – Unlike shaving or waxing, which only remove hair temporarily, laser hair removal can provide long-lasting or permanent reduction in hair growth.
Precision – Lasers target individual hair follicles, which can be beneficial for treating small areas like the bikini line and underarms.
Reduced Ingrown Hairs – Laser hair removal can minimise the occurrence of ingrown hairs, which are a common issue with other hair removal methods.
Procedure
Preparation – Before treatment, the area should be shaved to ensure the laser targets the hair follicle directly. Some practitioners might apply a cooling gel to protect the skin.
Treatment – During the session, you’ll wear protective eyewear, and the technician will use a handheld laser device to target the hair follicles. The sensation is often described as a rubber band snapping against the skin.
Aftercare – Post-treatment, there may be some redness or swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. Moisturizing and avoiding sun exposure are recommended.
