FAQ's
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser uses light, that is converted into heat, the heat travels down the hair shaft to the root where it destroys the connection between the blood supply and the hair. This heat damages the root of the hair follicle which causes the hair to get weaker and grow back thinner and more sparadicly. Around 8- 10 sessions is required to reduce 80% of the hair.
What type of Laser do you use?
We have imported a German manufactured machine from Syneron, called the Candela Gentle Lase Mini. This is a medical grade FDA approved machine and one of the best on the market for safely reducing hair on ALL skin types.
A free test patch would be performed prior to starting treatment to ensure the appropriate levels are being used.

Does laser work on all types of skin tones?
Our laser, Candela Gentle Lase MINI is suitable for ALL skin tones, from African skin, tanned skin or pale skin. Test patches are available free of charge to ensure effectiveness of the treatment prior to starting laser hair removal.
Is there any aftercare after my laser hair removal appointment?
Yes, aloe vera gel must be used to 24-48 hours to help reduce the heat within the skin, NO spa, sauna, gym or shaving for 24 hours. Stay out of direct sun for 4-7 days after your treatment as you skin may be a little photosensitive. Do not exfoliate until 7 days after laser. We provide an aftercare sheet for both laser and skin treatments for you to take home.
Before your Laser appointment: PREP:
