Laser Hair Reduction

Permanent Hair Reduction For Women

If you find yourself in a hairy situation, look no further. We are hair for you!
At Aesthetics Central we want you to achieve your desired results with your unwanted hairs on this transformative journey.

In clinic, we practice using diode laser which targets the melanin found in the hair follicles. Optimal results are achieved through multiple sessions.

Disclaimer: Total prevention of hair regrowth is not guaranteed. Please note this is NOT designed to permanently remove all hairs. This course of treatments is a method to reduce your hairs growing back.

How It works

The diode laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair shaft.
The absorbed light is converted into heat, which damages the hair follicle, whilst sparing the skin.
The heat disrupts the follicle’s ability to produce new hair, which reduces growth over time.

Treatment process

Clients are expected to shave the designated area prior to treatment.
A thin layer of gel is spread across the area.
The laser gun is glided across the skins surface whilst projecting the laser beams.
Wait 4-6 weeks before returning for your next session.

The Benefits

Highly effective:
-Diode laser achieves permanent hair-reduction after a series of treatments by inhibiting future growth of hair follicles.
-Suitable for various skin/hair types, particularly dark/coarse hair.
Precise:
-Diode laser precisely targets the melanin in the hair, whilst leaving skin undamaged.
-Due to its specific wavelength, the laser solely focuses on the hair follicle, minimising the risk to damage skin.
Speed:
-Sessions are quick and effortless, in comparison to other hair removal methods.
-Treatment for larger areas are not as labour intensive, nor inconvenient.
Safety:
-Manual adjustments can allow us to alter settings to cater different skin tones and complexions. Hence, skin reaction (e.g. burns, hyperpigmentation, inflammation) are of low risks.
-Our machine has a cooling mechanism to protect the skin.
Comfort:
-Majority of our clients experience minimal sensation during the sessions. Some more sensitive or focal areas are prone to slight temporary discomfort. However, any experience of this subsides almost instantly.
-Side effects, if any, resolve within 24 hours.
Convenience:
-Over time clients experience significant hair reduction, which decreases the frequency for removing hair.
-Diode laser can result in smoother skin and reduce irritation as can improve stubbles, strawberry arms/legs and ingrown hairs
Cost-effective:
-While upfront costs of treatment can be higher than other hair removal methods, long-term lasting results can result in saving your money from alternative hair-removal methods in the future.

Results
Typically, lasting results are observed from 5 sessions onwards. Individual experiences vary, whereas some may notice a change early on, many require several sessions to feel an impact. Once satisfied with the outcome, we suggest regular maintenance with top-up sessions.

COST OF TREATMENT

FAQs

Is diode laser hair removal permanent?

Diode laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, but it is not guaranteed to be 100% permanent. After a series of treatments, many people experience long-term hair reduction, with some hair eventually regrowing finer and lighter. Maintenance sessions may be required to sustain results.

How many sessions are required?

The number of sessions required varies depending on factors such as hair type, skin type, and the area being treated. Typically, 8 to 10 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart are recommended to achieve optimal results, as the laser is most effective during the hair's growth phase (anagen phase).

Does diode laser hair removal work on all skin types?

Yes, diode lasers are suitable for a wide range of skin types, including darker skin tones. The wavelength used by diode lasers allows them to target the hair follicle while minimising the risk of damage to the surrounding skin. However, the effectiveness may vary, and it's important to consult with a qualified practitioner to determine if diode laser hair removal is right for your skin type.

Does diode laser hair removal hurt?

The level of discomfort varies depending on individual pain tolerance, the area being treated, and the laser settings. Most people describe the sensation as a mild snapping or tingling feeling. Many diode lasers are equipped with cooling systems to minimise discomfort during the treatment.

Can diode laser hair removal be used on all hair colours?

Diode laser hair removal is most effective on dark, coarse hair because the laser targets melanin (the pigment in the hair). It is less effective on light-coloured hair, such as blonde, grey, or red hair, as these colours contain less melanin.

Can I still have treatment during PMS?

Generally, it is still safe to undergo treatment during menstruation. Although, under this circumstance your pain tolerance or sensitivities may be affected. We advise not to have laser treatments on your intimate areas during this time.

Can I undergo diode laser hair removal if I have a tan?

It is generally recommended to avoid diode laser hair removal if you have a tan, as the increased melanin in your skin can increase the risk of side effects like burns or pigmentation changes. It's best to wait until your tan fades before undergoing treatment.
