Laser hair removal is a popular and effective solution for unwanted body hair and it works beautifully on most skin and hair types. It’s a wonderful option if you’re seeking an alternative to other hair removal methods. Some find waxing too painful, or their skin is too sensitive for traditional approaches, and epilation can be a painful, arduous task.
Laser hair removal at The Claire Choice Aesthetics is a popular choice for clients of all genders who want an effective way to reduce unwanted body hair long term.
This treatment is ideal if you’re looking to achieve smooth, hair-free skin without the irritation that comes with other methods. We invest in the best available technology to deliver the most effective results, and laser hair removal is no exception.
The treatment uses a concentrated beam of light to target the pigment in the hair follicles, effectively disabling their ability to grow hair.
It’s a gentle, precise process that works with your body’s natural rhythms to give you lasting smoothness by destroying the hair follicle and ensuring your skin is smooth and hair free.
Please note that hormonal hair growth may need more sessions or a different treatment approach, this can be discussed during the consultation.
Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in the hair follicles. The laser emits a beam of light that’s absorbed by the pigment in the hair, converting it to heat. This heat gently damages the follicle, inhibiting future hair growth. The process is precise and can treat large areas of the body, legs, back, underarms, and more.
At The Claire Choice Aesthetics, we use the LumiLase Pro TripleWavelength technology for optimal results. This advanced technology offers three different wavelengths that target hair follicles at various depths, providing triple the power and triple the results compared to standard devices. This allows me to effectively treat most types and hair colours, ensuring a customised treatment experience that’s tailored to you, because no two bodies are ever the same.
Long-lasting results: Unlike traditional hair removal methods like shaving or waxing, laser hair removal provides longer-lasting results, freeing you from the constant cycle of maintenance.
Precise and effective: The LumiLase Pro technology can target multiple hair follicles at once, reducing treatment time and ensuring effective hair reduction with every session.
Minimal discomfort: Most clients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, thanks to the advanced technology we use. My approach is always about effectiveness with as little discomfort as possible.
Time-saving: Once your treatment course is complete, you’ll enjoy smooth skin without the hassle of constant shaving or waxing, giving you more time for the things that truly matter.
Laser hair removal is a safe and well-established procedure. It's FDA-approved for hair removal, and when performed by trained professionals, the risk of side effects is minimal. You may experience some temporary redness or swelling, but these effects typically resolve within a few hours. Your skin is respected throughout the process, and healing happens gently and naturally.
Laser hair removal uses targeted light energy that's absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in your hair follicles. This energy converts to heat, damaging the follicle's ability to produce new hair while leaving surrounding skin unharmed. Over a series of treatments, hair growth is permanently reduced, giving you smooth, hair-free skin without the constant maintenance of shaving or waxing.
Most clients achieve optimal results with 6-8 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, though this varies based on hair type, color, and treatment area. Hair grows in cycles, and laser only affects follicles in the active growth phase, which is why multiple sessions ensure we catch all follicles at the right time for maximum, lasting results.
Our advanced triple wavelength technology (755nm Alexandrite, 808nm Diode, 1064nm Nd:YAG) safely and effectively treats all skin types—from very fair to deeply tanned to darker skin tones. This means we can confidently say "yes" to virtually every client inquiry, regardless of skin color or tone.
Virtually any area with unwanted hair can be treated: face (upper lip, chin, cheeks, sideburns), body (arms, legs, back, chest, abdomen), and intimate areas (underarms, bikini, Brazilian). Our precision handpieces and multiple spot sizes ensure effective treatment on both large and delicate areas.
You'll notice hair shedding within 1-3 weeks after your first treatment, with progressive reduction after each session. Most clients see significant hair reduction (70-90%) after completing their treatment series, with remaining hair often finer and lighter in colour.
To ensure the best results and minimize side effects, I recommend following these simple aftercare steps:
Avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks before and after treatment, your skin needs time to heal without added stress.
Don't wax or pluck the treated area for at least six weeks. Let the follicles rest and respond to the treatment naturally.
Avoid hot showers or saunas for 24 hours after treatment to reduce the risk of irritation. Keep things gentle and cool.
Moisturise regularly to keep the treated area hydrated and nourished. Your skin will thank you for the extra care.
Laser hair removal is an excellent option if you're looking to eliminate unwanted hair without the constant cycle of shaving or waxing. Whether you're seeking smooth, hair-free skin on your legs, underarms, bikini line, or face, this treatment offers long-lasting results that free you from the daily routine. Our experienced specialists will assess your skin type and hair growth patterns, listen to what you're hoping to achieve, and determine together if laser hair removal is the right solution for you.
