Laser Hair Removal Benefits
Laser hair removal stands out for its efficiency and versatility compared to conventional methods like waxing, plucking, and shaving. It also surpasses light-based alternatives such as BBL™ and IPL in effectively removing unwanted hair from virtually any part of the body for near-permanent results.
One key advantage of laser hair removal is its applicability to almost every body part, including arms, underarms, legs, back, nose, upper lip, stomach, and genital areas, though it is not recommended for areas around the eyes due to the risk of injury. Approved by the FDA, laser hair removal is a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment offering long-lasting hair reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions
+ How does laser hair removal treatment work?
Using a specific laser hair removal device, wavelengths of energy target the color and depth of the hair follicle. The wavelength of energy is absorbed by the hair within the follicle and over several days the follicles are ejected from the body. An average of six to eight treatments are recommended for optimal results. Patients with darker hair respond best to laser hair removal as the laser wavelength targets the pigment of the hair by differentiating it from the skin via color. The treatment is relatively pain-free with almost no downtime.
+ How can I prepare for my treatment?
Clients are required to shave the treatment area the day before or day of treatment.
+ What is the difference between laser hair removal and BBL™ or IPL hair removal?
At SKIN clinics we only use dedicated laser devices such as NDYaG and Diode lasers to perform hair removal as it is significantly more effective and safe in comparison to non-laser based devices such as BBL or IPL.
+ How permanent is the treatment?
Laser hair removal can delay hair regrowth for up to years. Some people may require touch-up appointments.
+ Is getting Laser Hair Removal worth It?
If you add up the cost of razors and wax sessions over time, laser hair removal is worth it. Plus it is pain-free and keeps you away from the hassle of hair removal for long periods.
+ How long does laser hair removal take?
Depending on the size of the treated area, each session can take up to 60 minutes.
+ What are the Pros and Cons of the treatment?
+ When will I see the results after Laser Hair Removal treatment?
The results of treatment depend from person to person but usually, the results can be seen in about 1-3 weeks.
+ How much does Laser Hair Removal cost?
For an estimate please call us to book a free consultation.
+ What is the safety record for Laser Hair Removal?
The most common side effects include redness, swelling or pain which can be easily treated. Some of the rare side effects, if not done properly can be burns or scars.
+ Does skin or hair color make a difference?
The treatment works on all skin and hair colors as far as the correct type of laser is used.
