A Simple Guide to Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal has progressed significantly over the decades, making it accessible and highly effective for anyone looking to remove unwanted hair. Today, it’s one of the most popular methods for hair removal, especially at Este clinics, where we conduct hundreds of sessions each week. This advanced technique offers a reliable solution for smooth, hair-free skin, tailored to fit various skin types and hair colours.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a method of permanently removing unwanted hair on your face and body. Once a hair follicle has been destroyed by laser, no further hair can grow in that spot. 

On average, you will need several laser hair removal sessions to achieve your hair-free goals, with the exact number depending on the area being treated. For example, full body hair removal typically requires more sessions than smaller areas with less hair growth and density. While you may experience some regrowth over time, it is usually minimal and can be managed with additional laser treatments. Laser hair removal is a preferred hair removal method for many men and women due to its long-lasting results, minimally invasive nature, and low maintenance requirements.

‍Wondering why it’s not a one-size-fits-all process? Because we’re all different and our bodies and hair type all respond differently to the treatment. But these days, whether you’re dark skinned or light skinned, you can still enjoy the benefits of this cutting edge treatment.

Why is Laser Hair Removal Better Than Waxing or Shaving?

If you've ever experienced waxing, whether professionally or at home, you know it can be sometimes painful. And shaving is such a never ending chore that can lead to ingrown hairs that hurt or get infected. 

That's why we're thrilled to share that laser hair removal is a much more comfortable alternative. The Soprano Titanium and Platinum machines are designed with ice-cold technology, ensuring that any sensation is kept to an absolute minimum. Most people don’t experience any discomfort, and those who do find it to be only mild. Laser hair removal offers a more pleasant and effective solution, making it a popular choice for achieving smooth, hair-free skin.

Aside from how minimally invasive laser hair removal treatment is compared to waxing and shaving, there’s also these benefits! 

• Permanent
• Quick
• Easy
• Gentle on the skin
• Delivers great results
• Prevents ingrown hairs

Waxing and shaving will only ever get rid of the hair shaft (shaving), and/or the hair shaft and hair root (waxing). With laser hair removal, the hair follicle is heated up to a point where it kills the follicle so that it can no longer grow hair. A much more effective long-term solution is laser hair removal! 

‍Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

At Este, we’ve seen fantastic results on our clients. Whether it’s been laser hair removal for men or laser hair removal for PCOS clients, it’s always great to see our clients get the results they want. How many sessions for laser hair removal that you have depends on the amount of hair you want removing, but generally a good guide is around the six to eight session mark.

‍Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Yes, it works! When cosmetic hair removal is conducted by skilled laser hair removal technicians like the team at Este, it has a great success rate. After your initial course of laser hair sessions, you may need to have top up laser therapy. We will discuss what outcomes you can expect at your consultation so you will be well informed about what your treatment should achieve.

If you have excess, unwanted hair on your face, back, legs, underarms, or bikini line, laser hair removal offers a sophisticated and effective solution. Unwanted hair can significantly impact your confidence and self-esteem, but with advanced laser technology now readily accessible, there's no reason to endure it any longer. Embrace the opportunity to achieve smooth, hair-free skin and boost your self-assurance with this highly sought-after treatment.
