About Laser Hair Removal

Our Laser Hair Removal technology is specially designed with sensitive skin in mind, making it safe for use on all areas of the body and suitable for a wide range of skin types, all while delivering maximum results. Each of our lasers is equipped with a unique dynamic cooling device to help calm, soothe, and protect the skin during treatment.

For optimal results, we recommend an initial course of 8 to 12 treatments, spaced approximately 4 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area and your skin tone. As every individual is different, we invite you to book a complimentary consultation with one of our experienced Laser Therapists at your nearest clinic.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

• Safe and effective technology
• Permanent hair reduction
• Reduce ingrown hairs
• Convenient & cost effective

Excessive hair growth on the face or body is often caused by genetics or hormonal changes from puberty, aging, menopause, or pregnancy. Traditional methods like shaving, waxing, plucking, threading, and creams offer only temporary results and can cause irritation, pain, or ingrown hairs.

Laser hair removal offers a lasting solution for both men and women. At Skinessence Medi Spa, our expert therapist Margo uses a medical-grade Alexandrite laser, the gold standard in laser technology, to safely and effectively remove unwanted hair from virtually any area.

The laser targets active hair follicles, reducing hair growth with each session. Most clients experience permanent results, enjoying smooth, fresh skin without stubble or ingrown hairs.
