Laser Hair Removal

What are the benefits?

Hair removal lasers use light energy specific to a wavelength suited for your skin type to permanently damage and destroy hair follicles. A medical grade laser is scanned across your skin during the hair follicle’s growth cycle to destroy it and prevent regrowth.

You’ll need several treatments to see permanent results.
Appointments are usually between 2,4 and 6 weeks apart to start with depending on the hair growth at the time. We usually
recommend 6-8 sessions, however, most people start seeing a stunted hair growth in as little as three treatments. Usually,
appointments are spaced between 4-6 weeks apart depending on the treatment area. That being said, conditions like PCOS may be treated using a more specific treatment protocol.

Which type of laser hair removal treatment would suit me best?

Treatments at E.W. Cosmetic Laser Clinics are performed using a Diode or an NdYAG laser depending on the hair that is suited for treatment. We can treat all skin types at our clinic.

Diode lasers are generally more effective on both hair types (thick/coarse and fine hair – also referred to as Terminal and Vellus hair), whereas NdYAGs primarily work on thick or terminal hair more effectively but not once the hair is finer. Diode lasers also provide a more uniform treatment depth without harming the skin, resulting in no dryness, irritation, or itchiness post treatment. In fact, most clients report an improved skin sensation post treatment on our medical grade diode lasers.

What should you expect on the day of your treatment?

Your treatment day is no different to any other day except you are asked to moderate sun exposure for a few weeks before and after treatment, with regular application of sunblock (SPF 30+).

On the day of your treatment, you’ll be provided with an apron and towel (optional) in our treatment suites and positioned comfortably in our treatment beds. A layer of treatment gel is applied to protect your skin and you should only feel a slight warmth followed by tingles as the laser beam passes over your skin. After treatment is complete, post laser spray is applied in treatment areas to help you feeling refreshed and soothed after your procedure. It is remarkably painless, and most clients comment on how relaxing the sessions are.

Why should you choose us for your laser hair removal

At E.W. Cosmetic Laser Clinics, all hair removal treatment plans are regularly quality assured and tested for optimum performance. Unlike most places, we only employ fully licenced, trained and competent in cosmetic laser aesthetics to perform our treatments (not beauticians with trainee licences or worse; no licence at all!). So you can be assured that you’ll achieve best results as soon as possible and as safely as possible.

Client treatments are planned and quality checked prior to your treatment, so you can only expect the best and not feel like a number rushed through an appointment.
