Who is suitable for this treatment?
Our Q10 Premium Laser Hair Removal, using advanced Q-Switched technology, is safe and effective for most skin types and hair textures. Our laser hair removal is suitable for a wide range of people looking for a long-term solution to reduce unwanted hair. It is most effective for individuals with darker, coarse hair and lighter skin tones, as the laser targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair. However, with the advancement of laser technology, many modern systems can safely treat darker skin tones and various hair textures with great results.
This treatment is ideal for:
Men and women wanting to reduce hair growth on areas like the face, legs, underarms, bikini line, chest, and back
People who experience irritation or ingrown hairs from shaving or waxing
Anyone looking for a more permanent, low-maintenance alternative to traditional hair removal methods
Clients with no recent tanning, as tanned skin increases the risk of side effects
It’s important to note that laser hair removal is less effective on very light, grey, red, or fine hair, as these contain less melanin. A consultation is always recommended to assess your suitability and create a personalised treatment plan.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment (melanin) within each hair using a concentrated beam of light. This light energy is absorbed by the hair shaft and converted into heat, which then travels down to damage the hair follicle at its root. By weakening or destroying the follicle, it significantly reduces the ability for future hair to grow. Over a series of treatments, hair becomes finer, lighter, and sparser.
Because the laser is attracted to pigment, the treatment is most effective on darker, coarser hairs, where there is a strong contrast between the hair and the surrounding skin. However, with advances in technology, modern laser systems can safely and effectively treat a wider range of skin tones and hair types. Laser hair removal is a precise, time-saving, and long-term solution for reducing unwanted hair on virtually any area of the body.
