On average, there are around six sessions; however, this can vary depending on the area of the body treated and any medical conditions, such as hormonal imbalance. Thanks to the BLEND X technology, you should need fewer sessions than with other laser devices, as it combines two laser wavelengths (Alexandrite and ND:YAG) to achieve better results.
Lasers are most effective when the hair shaft is in the anagen phase (growing phase). Therefore, you will need multiple treatments to reduce unwanted hair growth significantly. Our practitioner will advise you on the number needed and what to expect.
There is no reason to say that laser energy is not safe for expectant mothers and those breastfeeding, but the lack of trials means it should not be used. Also, those taking certain medications such as Roaccutane for acne, have keloid scars, have or have had skin cancer, or are taking photosensitive medications.
Your practitioner will run through these things at your free consultation to ensure you are suitable. In case of doubt, our lasers meet the criteria to be safely used on all skin tones including darker skin types. They are also suitable for light and dark hair.
Absolutely! Not only women enjoy hair-free skin with a laser hair removal treatment. It is a very popular treatment for men regardless of skin and hair type and is effective for all areas of the body. Common areas for the laser treatment are cheeks, upper arms, full chest, shoulder blades, and stomach. Men often come into the clinic for facial hairline definition.
This depends on the treated area; however, we offer discounted prices on six sessions for all body areas. We also offer treatments and entire body packages. Please note that the price is reflected in the excellent quality of the medical-grade laser machine and the treatment provided, and we feel we have the best prices when this is taken into consideration. We pride ourselves on using the best devices in the world with clinically proven results.
You can have laser hair removal directly before injectable treatments, but must wait 2 weeks after having injectable treatments first, to allow the injection site to heal.
To avoid adverse reactions, you must wait 2 weeks between laser hair reduction and HydraFacial or medical-grade peels. Please let us know if you have had any other skin treatments prior to starting a hair removal session.
Laser hair removal offers a long-term reduction in hair growth. Its effectiveness is due to its ability to target and damage the hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. However, hormonal changes and individual hair growth cycles can influence the permanency of the results. For the majority, laser hair removal permanently reduces hair growth, making it a highly effective solution for those looking to minimise hair regrowth. While it significantly diminishes the amount and thickness of unwanted hair, some maintenance treatments may be necessary over time.
The number of sessions required for laser hair removal varies depending on several factors, including the treatment area, hair density, and individual hair growth cycles. On average, clients may need around six sessions to achieve significant hair reduction. With its BLEND X technology, the Splendor X system combines two laser wavelengths to target hair more effectively, potentially reducing the number of sessions needed compared to other devices. Our practitioners will provide a personalised treatment plan during your initial consultation, outlining the expected number of sessions to meet your hair removal goals.
Each laser hair removal session's duration depends on the treatment area's size. With the Splendor X system, each laser pulse can treat multiple hairs in a fraction of a second, making the process relatively quick. Small areas, such as the upper lip, may take just a few minutes, while larger areas, like the back or legs, can take up to an hour. Our advanced laser technology ensures efficient and fast treatment sessions, allowing you to return to your daily activities with minimal downtime.
Laser hair removal should be approached with caution on tattooed skin. The laser targets pigment, including the ink used in tattoos, which can lead to adverse effects such as skin damage and alteration of the tattoo's appearance. It is generally advised to avoid laser hair removal directly over tattooed areas. Our practitioners can assess your situation and recommend the best action during your initial consultation.
Yes, laser hair removal can be effectively performed on all skin types and hair colours, thanks to advancements in laser technology. The Splendor X system, used at Aesthetica Medical, is equipped with BLEND X technology that allows for customising treatments to suit different skin types and hair colours, including light and dark skin tones. However, the best results are often seen on individuals with darker and lighter skin, as the contrast allows the laser to target the melanin in the hair more easily.
