The most common question, does laser hair removal hurt?

It does not hurt; most of our clients describe the treatment as feeling like a ‘warm sensation’.

Our therapists will ensure you are comfortable throughout the treatment. No numbing creams or aesthetic are necessary.

Waxing is a way more painful experience.

Laser hair removal is more permanent hair reduction than permanent hair removal. In most cases, the hair never grows back, but it is not guaranteed.

Laser hair removal treatments reduce unwanted body hair by destroying the hair follicle. After each laser treatment, you’ll notice a reduction in the amount of hair growing back, until hair regrowth ceases altogether.

Factors such as hormonal changes, pregnancy, stress, certain medications or supplements may stimulate hair growth. It is a possibility, but this rarely happens.

Our therapist will explain everything in detail to make sure you are a good candidate.

In short, the at home devices are not as powerful and effective as the professional treatments. They mostly use intense pulse light technology which is less effective then a diode laser.

Please do not wax or pluck the hair in the area to be treated at least 3-4weeks before your treatment. we require the follicle underneath the skin to target the hair.

You will then clean shave the area the day before your treatment.

There is no difference in human biology in this regard, both are as effective as each other and just like you see in women's health, mens health is all about the manscaping nowadays! We’ve treated all shapes and sizes, all genders and races. Men may prefer to be hair free, some sports are easier hair free too! Bonus!

Laser hair removal also aids mens health by treating common conditions such as ingrown hair that can cause discomfort.

The laser treatment can remove unwanted hair in most areas quickly and effectively. Popular body hair areas include the upper lip, legs, underarm and bikini line which are some of the most requested from our female clients.

Our most popular treatment is Hollywood Extended.

Getting laser hair removal treatments is also a popular choice with our male clientele. Common requested areas such as the chest, stomach, back, and face, are all possible to be treated with our diode laser.

After the first two - three sessions, you should notice significant hair loss / hair reduction. Ideally you should see a 9% – 14% hair reduction, however, it is different for each individual.

We recommend a full course between an average of 8-12 laser hair removal treatments for optimal results.

Depends from person to person, generally people with dark hairs and fairer skin see results faster because its easier for the laser to target the hairs due to the contrast.

That being said no two people are the same and our therapist will give an informed answer specifically to your skin type at your free consultation. We do recommend an average of 8-12 sessions for optimal results. Some areas will be more stubborn than others and may require a few more. We do recommend a touch up or maintenance session 3months after completing your course, and then 6months after that.

Very safe. Your safety is our priority (cliché, we know. But very true).

The high-quality system we use for our laser hair removal in Pretoria East is safe on all skin types.

We even give you highly fashionable green safety glasses to wear during your treatment to protect your eyes from the emitted light.

Laser hair removal is overall, very safe and well-tolerated. There are no long-term health risks associated with the treatment.

However, some minor side effects after laser hair removal may occur. A therapist will perform a test patch to see how the skin reacts in a small controlled area.

Effects and risks may include:

Slight Redness – Laser hair removal damages the follicles of the targeted hair causing the hair loss. The affected area may look similar to skin that has just been waxed or plucked. Our therapists will provide a calming gel after treatment and will advise keeping sun exposure to a minimum for a few days especially with our South Africa sun. You will also have the option of purchasing aftercare after your laser session.

Temporary Changes in Skin Colour – Some people may notice minor colour changes to the treated area of skin. Dark skin or light skin, these changes fade away over time, and the skin returns to normal, again it is advised to reduce sun exposure to a minimum.
