Laser Hair Removal
Medical-grade laser hair reduction using the Clarity II system — a permanent reduction in hair growth.
About the Treatment
Laser hair removal uses a beam of light that's absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle. The resulting heat damages the follicle, inhibiting further hair growth. ASFB uses the Clarity II system by Lutronic, which combines two laser wavelengths (755nm and 1064nm) that can be adjusted according to skin tone and hair type.
It's important to understand that laser hair removal, even medical grade, provides a permanent reduction in hair growth — not total, permanent removal.
Laser can only effectively treat hair that's in its active growth phase, which is why a course of sessions, spaced to align with the hair growth cycle, is needed rather than a single treatment. Laser hair removal generally works best on dark hair and lighter skin, though the Clarity II's technology allows treatment to be tailored across a broader range of skin tones. If you have fine or fair hair, your practitioner will assess your suitability at consultation.
-
Your practitioner will assess your hair and skin type at consultation to confirm suitability and build a treatment plan. During treatment, the laser is passed over the area — most people describe a warm sensation or a light snapping feeling against the skin.
-
Because laser can only treat hair in its active growth phase, a course of multiple sessions is needed to catch hair across its full growth cycle. The exact number of sessions depends on the area being treated, your hair type, and how your hair responds — your practitioner will recommend a plan at consultation.
-
As with any laser treatment, laser hair removal carries some risks. These can include, but are not limited to:
Redness or temporary irritation in the treated area
Changes in skin pigmentation, particularly for some skin types
In rare cases, blistering or scarring
Discomfort during treatment, which varies between individuals
Your practitioner will discuss the risks relevant to your skin and hair type before treatment.
-
Sun protection is important following treatment, and your practitioner will advise on any specific aftercare relevant to the area treated. Most people can return to normal activities straight after a session.
-
As with any laser treatment, individual results vary, and laser hair removal is not permanent hair removal — it's a permanent reduction in hair growth. Some regrowth over time is normal, and occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain results. Your practitioner will discuss realistic expectations for your specific hair and skin type at consultation.
Costs will be confirmed during your consultation, tailored to your treatment plan.
