In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about our laser hair removal services, what to expect during the treatment, and how you can benefit from this state-of-the-art aesthetic technology.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated light energy to remove unwanted hair. At estheva, we use advanced laser technology designed to target and destroy hair follicles, significantly reducing hair growth without damaging the surrounding skin. This treatment can be applied to various body parts, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini area, making it a versatile solution for both men and women seeking smoother, hair-free skin.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Our laser hair removal technology at estheva employs a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicles that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth. Here’s a closer look at the process:
1. Consultation and Planning
Before your first session, you’ll have a consultation with one of our expert practitioners. This initial meeting is crucial to understand your skin type, hair colour, and hair type. It also allows us to tailor a treatment plan specifically designed to meet your needs.
2. The Treatment Process
During the treatment, a handheld laser device will be used on the targeted area. You might feel a snapping sensation, like a rubber band hitting the skin, but most of our clients report minimal discomfort thanks to the cooling mechanisms of our laser devices. Each session typically lasts between a few minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated.
3. Number of Sessions Required
Laser hair removal usually requires multiple sessions to achieve the best results. This is because hair grows in different stages, and the laser is most effective at the new-growth stage (anagen phase). Typically, clients see significant hair reduction after three to seven sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.

- Precision: Lasers can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.
- Speed: Each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs at the same time.
- Minimal Discomfort: Compared to other hair removal methods like waxing, laser hair removal generally involves less discomfort and fewer side effects.
Preparing for Your Treatment
To ensure the best results, there are several steps you should take before undergoing laser hair removal:
Avoid sun exposure as much as possible for six weeks before and after treatment, as this can make the laser less effective and increase the risk of complications.
Do not pluck, wax, or undergo electrolysis for six weeks prior to your treatment to ensure that the follicle is intact and can be effectively targeted by the laser.
Shave the area to be treated 24 hours before your session. This prevents the burning of hair on the skin’s surface, which could cause scarring.
What to Expect After Treatment
After your laser hair removal session, you may experience some redness and swelling, similar to sunburn. These effects are temporary, and most clients can resume their normal activities immediately. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your nurse practitioner, including guidelines like avoiding sunlight and using sunscreen on the treated area.
