Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction but may not result in permanent removal. The treatment targets hair follicles, significantly reducing hair growth. Many experience lasting results, although some regrowth may occur over time, which is often finer and lighter. Maintenance sessions are necessary to maintain the desired outcome. 

 Typically, Most individuals require 8 to 12  laser hair removal sessions for optimal results, although this can vary. The number of sessions needed depends on the hair growth cycle, as multiple treatments are necessary to target hair that grows in different phases effectively. 

Additionally, various body areas may require differing sessions; for instance, thicker areas typically need more treatments than finer areas. Individual factors, such as hair and skin type, also play a role in determining the number of sessions needed. Regular follow-up appointments will help assess your progress and decide if further sessions are necessary.

It is virtually painless. Patients describe a gentle warming sensation due to its advanced cooling system. 

To maximise your results from laser hair removal:

• Prepare Your Skin: Avoid sun exposure and waxing for at least four weeks before treatment. Shave the area a day prior to your session to ensure the laser targets the hair effectively.
• Stay Consistent: Attend all scheduled sessions every 4 to 6 weeks to effectively target hair during its active growth phase.
• Follow Aftercare Instructions: After treatment, protect your skin from the sun and follow any aftercare guidelines to minimise irritation and support healing.
• Communicate Openly: Keep your practitioner informed about any changes in your skin or medications that could impact your treatment.

24 Hours Before Laser Treatment:

• Shave the treatment area (do not wax, thread, or use depilatory creams). Shaving helps the laser target hair follicles while keeping the skin intact.
• Avoid any new skin products on the treatment area that could cause irritation (lotions, creams, or exfoliants).
• Avoid sun exposure to prevent redness or sensitivity.
• Do not apply makeup, perfume, or scented lotions on the area to be treated.
• Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine if possible, as these can sometimes make skin more sensitive.

• Apply SPF 30 sunscreen daily 
• Makeup is okay once irritation subsides; mineral makeup is best.
• Avoid sun exposure and hot water on the area until fully healed.
• Avoid skin irritants (retinol, acids, bleaching creams) for 2 weeks.
• Wash gently with mild cleanser and pat dry, do not rub.
• Contact the clinic if you notice pus, tenderness, or fever.
• After pigmentation treatments, expect darkening for 3–4 days before it fades.

Laser hair removal should not be performed directly over tattoos due to the risk of damaging the ink. The laser targets pigment in hair follicles, but it can also affect the pigment in tattoos, leading to fading or distortion. Additionally, the intense heat from the laser can cause skin irritation, burns, or blistering in the tattooed area.

For individuals with tattoos, it is advisable to avoid laser hair removal in those areas. Treatments can still be conducted on surrounding skin, but care should be taken to ensure the tattoo remains protected to maintain its appearance.
