Laser hair removal is known to be “permanent”, however laser treatment only reduces the number of unwanted hairs in a given area. It doesn’t get rid of unwanted hairs completely. So the hair grows back after a longer period of time and when it does it will be lighter, finer and fewer in number.

You can expect minor temporary side effects, similar to those you would experience post threading or waxing:
• Mild swelling around the hair follicles.
• Slight redness of the skin.
• Temporary irritation resulting in bumps

The factors that go in to laser hair removal cost are the body area treated, time to do the treatment and the technician’s expertise. We have calculated this and put a price list above for your review.
