Book An AppointmentWe have two types of laser hair removal options available - Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Super Hair Removal (SHR). Both methods are safe, effective, and provide long-lasting results.
IPL Laser Hair Removal
IPL is a popular choice for laser hair removal as it uses a broad spectrum of light to target the pigment in the hair follicle. This method works best on dark, coarse hair and is not recommended for those with darker skin tones.
How it Works
During an IPL laser hair removal session, a handheld device will emit pulses of light onto the targeted area. The light energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, damaging it and inhibiting future hair growth.
What to Expect
The length of each session depends on the size of the area being treated, but typically lasts between 15-45 minutes. You may experience some discomfort during treatment, often described as a rubber band snapping against your skin.
After each session, you may notice redness and swelling in the treated area, which should subside within a few hours. Results can be seen after 4-6 sessions, with regular touch-ups recommended for long-lasting results.
Benefits of IPL
IPL laser hair removal is a great option for those looking to permanently reduce unwanted hair on larger areas such as legs, arms, back or chest. It also has fewer side effects compared to other hair removal methods like waxing or shaving.
SHR Laser Hair Removal
SHR uses a similar process as IPL but with advanced technology that allows for faster treatment times and better results. This method is suitable for all skin tones and hair types.
How it Works
SHR works by using a gentler, sweeping motion to gradually heat up the hair follicles. This gradual heating method is less painful and more effective in targeting multiple hair follicles at once.
What to Expect
The treatment time for SHR is shorter compared to IPL and can vary from 10-30 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated. You may experience slight discomfort similar to IPL, but it is generally considered less painful.
Similar to IPL, results can be seen after 4-6 sessions with touch-ups recommended for maintenance.
Benefits of SHR
SHR laser hair removal is a great option for those looking for a quicker, more comfortable treatment with minimal side effects. It also has the added benefit of being suitable for all skin tones and hair types.

FAQs
Laser hair removal provides long-lasting results, but it may not be entirely permanent. Some individuals may require occasional touch-up sessions to maintain their desired level of hair reduction.
Shaving is allowed in between sessions, but it is not recommended to wax or pluck the targeted area as it removes the hair follicle, which is necessary for laser hair removal to be effective.
The number of sessions needed varies depending on the individual and their hair type. On average, 6-8 sessions are recommended for optimal results, with touch-ups as needed. Our team will assess your needs during a consultation and provide a personalized treatment plan for you.
