Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Hair Reduction
Q & A
•How do I choose between Laser technology and IPL (Intense Pulse Light)?
With IPL in the home the hair root is not destroyed and as such you are required to
retreat each area every two weeks to prevent hair regrowth. With Laser technology the
hair root is destroyed giving permanent hair reduction.
•How should I prepare my skin and hairs for laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal does not require any special skin preparations. Laser hair removal is
most effective on pale skin so we recommend avoiding sunbathing, sun beds and fake
tanning if possible The best results are on hairs which are only 1-3 mm long, we
recommend trimming the hairs before treatment. Alternatively, you can shave before
treatment as long as the hair is still visible at the root.
•How will my skin appear after the treatment?
Generally no perceptible changes will be apparent. A slight redness after treatment
may occur but will normally fade over 24 hours. Any localised redness after treatment is
caused by the destruction of the hair follicles and is quite normal.
•What areas can I treat?
Most body hair can be removed using Laser Hair Removal - the most common areas are
the face, underarms, legs, chest, back and bikini line. We do NOT recommend using
laser hair removal on eyebrows.
