Laser hair removal works by using concentrated light energy to target hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, which damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth. This process is safe for both light and dark skin tones.

Both IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and laser hair removal treatments are effective, but they work differently. IPL uses broad-spectrum light, while laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target hair follicles. Laser technology is generally more precise, making it suitable for darker skin tones and thicker hair types. It often requires fewer sessions to achieve desired results. IPL can be a good option for lighter hair and larger areas, but laser hair removal is typically more effective for permanent hair reduction.
Not everyone is an ideal candidate for laser hair removal. People with certain medical conditions, such as skin disorders or those taking medications that cause photosensitivity, may not be suitable. Additionally, individuals with very light hair, red hair, or gray hair may not see optimal results, as the laser targets pigment in the hair follicle. A consultation with a qualified professional can help determine if this laser treatment is right for you, considering your hair and skin type.
Laser hair removal is worth the investment for many people. It provides long-term savings compared to other hair removal methods like waxing or shaving. With a few sessions, you can achieve significant and lasting results, reducing the need for regular upkeep. The convenience of not having to deal with unwanted hair daily, combined with the precision of the treatment, makes it a popular choice for those seeking a more permanent solution.
Laser hair removal offers permanent hair reduction by targeting the hair follicle with concentrated light. While it may not completely eliminate all hair forever, it significantly reduces hair growth over time. The results vary depending on factors like hair colour, skin type, and the effectiveness of the laser technology used. Most people experience long-lasting results, needing only occasional maintenance treatments to keep the treated areas smooth and hair-free.
For laser to work the hair needs to have brown or black pigment or (chromophore) unfortunately grey and white hair doesn’t work. When the laser beam is placed on the skin the beam will absorb into the hair shaft and destroy the root. However, for this is work we need the hair to be in the growth phase – anagen. For more on the phases of hair growth click here.
Laser and other energy-based hair removal requires multiple treatments because hair grows in different phases. Hair can take 6-12 weeks for it to grow from roo to surface – this growth stage is known as the anagen stage and this is the perfect time to receive laser hair treatment.
This is very common for practitioners to recommend this, however, if you come in every 4 weeks you will be only treating around 15-20% of hair in the anagen stage, whereas if you come every 6-10 weeks you will be getting at least 40-50% of hair in the anagen stage. In the long run you will get a better result and less treatments will be required. There is an exception when treating hormonal hair on the face.
Commonly requested areas include underarms, bikini and men’s chest and back. The great thing with cutrea lasers they can treat all hair types – fine or coarse.
Traditional methods of hair removal, like shaving, waxing and depilatory creams are still the go to method for many. However, these methods need to be done on a regular basis – forever. With laser hair reduction the need to shave becomes less and less.
Honestly, no. The average reduction in hair growth is between 60-80%. For some people they will get 90% reduction however, everyone is different and it does depend on your hair growth. The hair that is left is residual hair that is fine and may take months to grow back.
If you are decided to get laser hair reduction we always recommend to have a complimentary consultation. This is important as we go through a checklist to see if yo are suitable for the treatment. We also do a patch test to see how the skin reacts to heat and to eliminate any adverse reactions. After the consultation we will give you an exact price on the cost of treatment.
No it isn’t painful however, you do feel a little heat around the bony areas and some areas may pinch but laser hair reduction should never be painful. The advantage of having treatment with a cutrea machine is the super cool tip, the tip is cooled to 4 degrees so when it is gliding over the skin it cools as it goes.
