How does the procedure work?

The process begins with a quick consultation, including a patch test on the area you wish to target, allowing us to tailor the treatment / laser settings according to your needs. The practitioner will use the 3D-Trilogy Ice laser device in a smooth gliding and cooling motion to safely, comfortably and effectively remove hair across all skin types. Laser hair removal utilises laser light pulses to selectively target the melanin (colour) inside of hair follicles. Pigment inside the hair follicle absorbs the light beam of the laser, this process damages the follicle, greatly diminishing further growth. The surrounding skin is at no risk as the light is absorbed by the hair follicle.

Post treatment information

After treatment, the targeted hair needs time to be processed through the skin, shedding after one to three weeks. Hair may still appear to grow during this time which is completely normal and does not signify a failed treatment. Hair removal lasers can only target hairs which are in the active growth stage (anagen phase) which is why multiple treatments are required at scheduled intervals to target the remaining follicles. This is also why your results might initially appear “patchy”. Directly after treatment your skin might be slightly red accompanied by a raised / bumpy texture atop the treated follicles. This usually persists for only an hour or two but clients with higher sensitivity to the treatment might experience this for longer. As the hairs are processed out by the body over the course of a few weeks some clients report a tingly sensation in the area. The treatment is safe and very effective, if you have any questions refer to our faq on laser hair removal or contact us to book your consultation today.
