How Laser Hair Removal works

Laser Hair Removal works by focusing high laser energy through the skin to the base of the hair follicle. The laser light is absorbed by the pigment in each hair follicle, and this causes the hair follicles to be progressively damaged so that the hair can no longer grow.

1. At your initial treatment the hair should be visible on the surface of the skin.

2. As the laser is directed onto the hair heat energy is drawn into the melanin, which in turn heats the rest of the hair shaft

3. The heat either weakens or completely destroy the hair follicle. as result the follicle detaches from the hair shaft

4. The hair sheds and, without the follicle, hair cannot regrow in the area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What machines do you use?

We use the medical grade Cynosure Elite which are the most advanced technology to achieve the most advanced results. Our advanced cooling machines used in all laser treatments cools your skin before, during and post treatment to minimise any discomfort.

How to prepare for my LHR appointment?

Before your appointment, we ask that you

Shave the area between 12-24 hours before your treatment
Avoid chemical peels or laser resurfacing
Exfoliate to remove any dead skin build up
Ensure no residue fake tan is present on the skin
Avoid excessive sun exposure on area being treated two weeks prior (including solariums or tanning drugs)
Avoid using topical creams/moisturisers, perfumes to the area being treated before appointment
Do not wax or pluck hairs four weeks prior to laser treatment

Can LHR be performed on darker skin tones?

Yes, our Gold Standard YAG medical grade lasers offer safe and effective hair reduction for clients with darker skin types.

Can all hair colors be treated ?

Using our medical grade equipment, our fully trained laser technicians can target any hair color, with the exception of grey, pale red, white and white blonde.

What if I am on medication?

Some medications may have blood thinning or photo-sensitising properties which can increase the risk of an adverse reaction, so it is important to bring along a comprehensive list of any medications or supplements you are on to discuss with your technician prior to treatment.

What age can I start laser treatments?

At Shira Laser we recommend Laser Hair treatments for clients over the age of 18 years old. This is due to the fact that hair growth has not fully developed due to changing hormonal levels. If you are under 18 years old please speak with your parent or guardian about laser hair treatments prior to contacting Shira Laser as they will be required to attend your consultation and sign a consent.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

No lasers can claim to have achieved 100% permanent hair removal. However, FDA Approved Medical Grade 4 Lasers can, in most cases, achieve permanent hair “reduction” with approximately a 70% – 90% reduction in hair growth these results are dependent on the individual and can be influenced by such things as skin type, hair color, and hormones.

How many treatments will I need?

The amount of treatments required will vary from person to person. For the best results, we typically recommend 6 to 12 treatments spaced 4 to 6 week apart depending on the area, this will ensure that all hairs are effectively interrupted and immobilised during the active growth phase of the growth cycle.

Is laser hair removal painful?

Many clients have likened the treatment to the feeling of having an elastic band flicked against the skin.

At Shira Laser, we offer the most advanced Zimmer Cryo System which delivers a constant stream of cold air throughout the treatment and can also be used to pre-cool sensitive areas. that our clients find it dramatically improves their level of comfort throughout treatments making it almost painless

If you have a low pain threshold topical anaesthetic can be applied prior to treatment.
