Laser Hair Removal

If there’s one area of personal grooming that women and men share in common, it’s hair removal. Whether it’s the legs, the face, the shoulders, or elsewhere, we often spend hours waxing, shaving, plucking and preening to either completely rid ourselves of that hair or get it looking just right. Of course, at the same time we’re also putting ourselves through unreasonable amounts of pain, all for a result that’s not actually as long-lasting as we’d like. That’s precisely why it’s worth making an appointment at our laser hair removal clinic in Canberra.

Using the latest in laser technology, with a laser hand-piece that is continuously chilled to 4ºCelius you get treatments that are much less painful and safe for all skin types so that we can help you enjoy long-lasting hair removal in even the most difficult to control areas.

Cutera HR Laser – Safer and More Effective

The Cutera HR Alexandrite and Nd:YAG laser uses a much safer, more effective hair removal laser due to its advanced chill tip laser hand piece and laser technology. Cutera HR is considered to be the gold standard for laser hair removal delivering unsurpassed level of treatment effectiveness, comfort and safety for hair removal clients. Cutera HR is widely regarded as the laser of choice for precise, non-invasive treatment for unwanted hair.

Laser hair removal on darker skin types, we use the Cutera HR NdYAG laser which is the gold standard for darker skin laser hair removal, due to the use of a laser hand-piece that is chilled to 4ºCelius and the 1064nm laser wavelength.  Our most popular treatments are laser hair removal on the face, the underarms and bikini area.   

The Advantages of Laser Hair Removal

Laser treatment provides long term hair removal for large or small areas, without the difficulties or commitment involved with other methods. The laser is designed to selectively treat only the hair follicle, leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected. The laser uses pulses of light to remove the hair, so there is little irritation to the skin. Your skin will become silky smooth and hair free.

• prevents ingrown hairs
• strengthens the skin and improves skin quality
• fewer treatments required than IPL hair removal
• suitable for large areas
• more accurate
• non-invasive 

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal treatment involves the application of a powerful laser light beam which safely penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the hair follicle, hindering its ability to grow hair. Compared to alternative methods of hair removal in Canberra, this is a safer, faster and more effective way to eliminate unwanted hair. Laser hair removal is most effective when the hair colour is significantly darker than the skin, e.g. dark hair on fair-skinned individuals, or black hair on darker skin colours. The laser emits a powerful beam of light that passes harmlessly through the skin, but is absorbed by the hair follicle. By selectively absorbing the laser energy, the hair follicles are disabled, impairing their ability to grow hair making your skin hair free. This is a safer, faster and more effective way to eliminate unwanted hair than traditional methods such as waxing or IPL. Laser hair removal is most effective when the hair colour is significantly darker than the skin, e.g. dark hair on fair-skinned individuals, or black hair on darker skin colours.
