Laser Hair Removal

We offer three methods of laser hair removal ipl, shr & nd:yag Lasers work by using a light source to destroy the hair. Light directed on to the skin is then absorbed by the melanin pigments in the hair.  This light absorption causes the hair follicle to heat up resulting in an interruption to the hair growth cycle causing the hair to stop growing.
The choice of laser and the number of sessions required will depend on various factors such as skin tone, hair colour and thickness.   Choosing the right laser for hair removal is essential for achieving safe and effective results.

SHR (Super Hair Removal)

SHR is a new technology that combines laser technology and the benefits of the pulsating light (IPL) method achieving painless results.  The treatment is more pleasant than with the conventional systems and your skin is better protected.

SHR uses low energy light via rapid pulses to safely traumatise the stem cells of any unwanted hair, helping prevent any regrowth.
SHR can be performed on all skin types, hair colours and those with suntanned skin.  

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)

IPL devices emit a broad spectrum of high-intensity light, making it different from traditional laser treatments that use a single wavelength of light. IPL works by emitting bursts of light that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles.  

IPL works best on people who have a high degree of contrast between their hair and skin colour, such as people with fair skin and dark hair. It is not effective on people with darker skin tones as they do not have enough contrast with their hair colour.  

While IPL is a great longer-lasting hair removal solution, the results are not permanent.

Nd:YAG

One of the best technologies available for permanent laser hair removal today is Nd:YAG.   The laser wavelength used is a single concentrated wavelength of light which makes it highly effective for hair removal.  

Nd:YAG can be used on clients with darker skin tones who don’t have high contrast between their skin and hair colour. This makes the treatment extremely versatile and able to treat a wider range of clients.

The right choice depends on the hair and skin type. Our trained staff is able to make the right choice for the suitable treatment procedure.
