Hair: whether on your face or body, is a natural part of being a human! But when the temperature rises, and skin is exposed, it’s one of those things that you may want to control.
At The Laser Loft, we pride ourselves on offering the latest and most advanced hair removal options. With several different lasers and devices at our disposal, we can tailor a treatment plan to suit your individual skin type and hair colour.
Laser hair removal uses powerful levels of light to retard the growth of hair follicles. The dark pigment in the hair strand absorbs the laser light and transmits it down to the root. The root is then damaged and is unable to produce new hair effectively. In this way – hair is progressively reduced in count and/ or density
Generally, one can expect to come through for a course of at least 8-12 treatments. These treatments are done 4-6 weeks apart.
All our machines have been internationally tested for safety and efficacy on all skin types. Your therapist will explain the different options available to you:
During the procedure:
Your therapist will apply a cool gel to protect your skin.
When the laser is activated, you might feel slight discomfort, similar to a quick warm sting.
Treating a small area, such as the upper lip, might take only a few minutes. Treating a larger area, such as the back, might take more than 30 minutes.
After the procedure:
Hairs do not fall out immediately, but you will shed them over a period of days to weeks. This may look like continued hair growth. The repeated treatments are usually necessary because hair growth and loss naturally occur in a cycle, and laser treatment works best with hair follicles in the new-growth stage.
Results vary significantly and are difficult to predict. Most people experience hair removal that lasts several months, and it might last for years. But laser hair removal doesn’t guarantee permanent hair removal. When hair regrows, it’s usually finer and lighter in color.
You might need maintenance laser treatments for long-term hair reduction.
