Laser Hair Removal Melbourne

WHY USE LASER HAIR REMOVAL IN MELBOURNE? BENEFITS AND TREATMENT:

Laser hair removal is a safe procedure that results in permanent reduction of unwanted face and body hair. Both men and women who regularly wax or shave can benefit immensely from this treatment. It works on all areas of the face and the body.

Permanent laser hair removal involves thermally damaging hair follicles to stop hair growth. The laser produces a single wavelength of light which penetrates the skin. The laser light is absorbed into the hair shaft and rapidly heats and damages both the follicle and the vessel that provides the follicle with oxygen and nutrients. At Fresh Skin Canvas Melbourne, we use the Candela GentleLase Pro which is the Gold-Standard laser device for permanent hair reduction.

For permanent hair reduction by 90% or more, most people require 4 to 8 treatments by best laser skin clinic. It is because at any given time everyone has a mix of actively growing, transitioning, and resting hair. Only actively growing hair can be destroyed during a treatment. Follicles belonging to transitional and resting hair will be unaffected by the laser and continue to produce hair. Subsequent treatments are therefore scheduled when these transitioning or resting hair are active (usually 4-6 weeks apart for most body areas). For optimum results, it is important to adhere to the treatment schedule. Once you have covered the 4-stage hair growth cycle (usually 4 to 6 treatments), you will then require maintenance treatments. These can be spaced up to 6 months apart, depending on your growth.

Treatments are performed on clean, dry and closely shaved skin. Laser hair removal in Melbourne can be completed quickly with large areas treated in a matter of minutes. Treatments are extremely comfortable thanks to Candela’s patented Dynamic Cooling Device. This inbuilt device sprays super-cooled gas directly onto the skin as the laser starts penetrating the skin. The cooling gas ensures that the treatment is tolerable and less painful than waxing.

How Laser Hair Removal Works?

Step by step process of permanent hair reduction with laser treatment:

The process of laser hair removal in Melbourne involves directing a concentrated beam of light on the hair follicles without harming the surrounding skin tissue.
The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the light and heat which damages it, and the hair falls out.
It discourages future hair growth and requires only touch-ups every six months. The new hair growth is much lighter and less visible.
Our high-quality laser system is apt for all skin tones. For darker skin types, the laser is attracted to the blood supply of the hair follicle and causes no side effects.
We utilise medical-grade Candela Gentle YAG and Gentle PRO lasers for laser hair removal in Melbourne that offers satisfying results.
Our laser skin clinic in Melbourne has a team of highly trained and qualified laser technicians, who ensure a safe and successful treatment

Can all hair colours be treated with laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal works on all hair colours which have pigmentation. Thus, it can work effectively on a variety of colours ranging from dark brown and reddish-brown to black. However, it does not work on grey and light blonde hair as they lack pigmentation. Laser identifies the pigment in the hair and eliminates it. The wavelength of the light beam then penetrates the skin to destroy the follicles and stops hair growth to make you hair-free.

Can laser be used for excessive hair on males?

Yes, laser hair removal can be used in case of excessive hair in males as it removes the hair from their follicles. Depending on the growth rate, the number of sessions may increase. Most clients achieve up to 90% or more reduction in hair as the laser enters the hair shaft and destroys the root. Laser hair removal lasts for a long time and requires only touch-ups to get rid of the few strands that regrow. Men can get the hair removed from their backs, chest, arms, legs, etc. Many people utilise it to shape up their facial hair, which allows them to have a neat outline for their thick stubble. It helps them to get rid of the stray hair on the neck and cheekbones.

Can laser hair removal be performed on darker skin tones?

Yes, our advanced laser treatment is perfect for dark to fair skin tones. Here is what happens during the treatment.

For darker skin, the highly targeted laser gets attracted to the blood supply of the hair follicle without affecting the surface.
The pigment in the follicle absorbs the light and heat, damaging the follicle which leads to falling out of the hair.
We use Nd:YAG laser, which is suitable for darker skin tones as it penetrates deep into the skin and does not harm the surrounding skin tissue.
With our world-class laser systems, you do not have to worry about hyperpigmentation or dark spots. Our laser hair removal treatment is the safest procedure.
To ensure the best results, you must stop waxing and plucking a month before the session and opt for shaving.
You must follow the aftercare instructions carefully to make sure that you become hair-free quickly.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Yes, our excellent service and modern equipment ensure permanent hair removal. Here is how the treatment is planned.

You will have to undergo four to eight sessions to get rid of the hair completely and the number of sessions will depend on the area to be covered and the volume of the hair.
These treatments are spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and get ready for the next session.
You will become hair-free after the completion of these sessions and will only need maintenance treatments afterwards.
The maintenance sessions are scheduled six months apart for best results.
The hair that grows back after the treatment is much lighter and finer than your original growth and does not take much time to remove.
Laser hair removal restricts the production of new hair strands by damaging the follicle for a long time and gives you freedom from frequent waxing, shaving, and plucking.

Will laser hair removal get rid of ingrown hairs?

Ingrown hair is the hair that grows back into the skin after shaving or tweezing. It can become pus-filled and cause irritation or appear as a bump on the skin. The best way to get rid of ingrown hairs is to opt for laser hair removal in Melbourne, which works on the follicles and gets rid of the problem. The laser hair removal technique shrinks the size of the follicle with each session. The subsequent growth of hair is much finer and lighter, and eventually, the follicle gets damaged after a few sessions. Thus, there is no scope of ingrown hair growing back again and you will not have to bear the pain and irritation caused by these hairs. Laser treatment allows you to have smooth and hair-free skin that you always desired.
