Laser therapy is one of the most popular method today to reduce the hair growth in long term. There is no secret why women can benefit of it. Who would not like to stop itchy rashes and bumps that appears straight after razor shave? How about having no more painful ingrown hairs, especially after the waxing procedure? Dark facial hair that lowering your self esteem?
Silky smooth skin and no more time spending of even thinking about the unwanted hair - that is why we love laser hair removal procedure!
Laser hair reduction is extremely helpful for women with excessive hair growth (hirsuitism) and those with diagnosed PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome).

We are so proud to have one of the very few leading medical grade device in the market, a true laser called Cynosure Elite+ Aesthetic Workstation.
Cynosure Elite+ is a laser with dual-wavelength solid system delivering reliable, cost-effective treatments for hair removal, vascular treatments, epidermal pigment, and wrinkle reduction. As a recognized industry leader, our Elite+ technology is not only tried and proven, it's backed and strongly supported by clinical research.
IPL machines use the intense broad spectrum pulse of light rays with varying wavelengths that penetrate the skin at different depths. Whilst Laser is a monochromatic coherent very quick light source and is far more precise and selectively chooses the target (hair, blood, pigment) while leaving the surrounding areas undamaged. Compared to a laser, IPL gives off light energy that is weaker, more dispersed, and less targeted.
Laser hair removal equipment by Cynosure is neither an IPL or a Diode, and it is proven to deliver much more precise, effective and most importantly longer lasting results.
Yes! Cynosure allow us to treat any type and skin color safely. We are not only promising to treat it safely, but to make a real difference in long-term.
Alexandrite (755 nm) is the strongest and most effective wavelength for lighter skin tones. From very fair skin to Mediterranean region skin type is the best to treat with Alexandrite laser.
Nd:YAG (1064 nm) is the deepest and strongest laser wavelength for skin of color. It is especially safe for Asian and even the darkest skin types and can be treated any excessive hair growth of any part of the body.
Every body area can have different sensation, but the closest description is as each shot feels like a hot elastic band flicking against the skin. Laser hair removal cannot be entirely pain-free, as it is advertised in majority of hair removal salons. If it is done correctly, the sensation lasts a second or two then fades quickly. It is never supposed to be painful, however some sort of sensation level is needed for the best results!
With so many variables we can never guarantee the exact number of treatments. Somewhere between 8 to 12 treatments at 6 to 8 weeks intervals to get the best body hair reduction. While some will benefit with only 8 sessions, others need more than 12 sessions, as we are all different with our skin color, hair density and hormonal activity.
Hormonal induced hair growth especially caused by PCOS or hirsutism and facial hair generally requires a little more regular sessions between 10 to 12 sessions, 4 to 6 weeks apart. Then it often requires some top up sessions in the future as the body hormones are responsible to the new active hair re-growth.
It is fair to say that maintenance session is beneficial for everyone in the future to keep hair from regrowing. This is at everyone's different growth rate and usually done once/twice a year.
You should start seeing positive changes straight from your first session. Your hairs will drastically slowdown in regrowth. After each session damaged hairs will shed (fall out) gradually and will grow in patches and any re-growth expecting to be paler and weaker or almost invisible.
The outcome also depends on many other factors, for instant your skin and hair colour. Different metabolism and the hormonal level of each individual will also play a part. Laser facial hair removal for instant requires more regular attendance and a special attention.
Not to forget the importance of attending all sessions regularly and following pre and after-care advise from your technician. Laser hair removal equipment is again another part of the success.
To reduce any possible risk (of unwanted side effects) to our clients, we always perform a patch test during an initial consultation.
We also take a thorough medical history as we need to know if there are any medical reasons that you would not be suitable for light-based treatments. Medication can put treatment on hold or contraindicate your treatment.
We do not treat pregnant or breast-feeding women with lasers as a precaution and we put treatment on hold during this time.
