Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal targets the pigment in hair follicles with laser energy to reduce regrowth over a course of sessions, leaving skin smoother. The clinic treats most facial and body areas for women and men, with single-area pricing and discounted multi-session packages. Because hair grows in cycles, a planned course spaced several weeks apart is needed for lasting reduction.

Laser hair removal at Vital Skin Clinic uses pulses of laser light absorbed by the pigment in the hair to heat and disable the follicle, gradually reducing how much hair regrows. Because each hair must be treated during its active growth phase — and only a portion of follicles are in that phase at any time — a course of sessions spaced several weeks apart is required to achieve a meaningful, lasting reduction rather than a single permanent result. A patch area is considered and the device settings are matched to your skin and hair before treatment; you feel a quick snapping sensation with each pulse, and most areas are treated in minutes to half an hour depending on size. Mild redness around the follicles for a short time afterwards is normal, and sun avoidance before and after each session protects the skin. The clinic treats a wide range of areas for both women and men — from the upper lip, chin and underarms to the legs, back, chest and bikini — with single-area prices and discounted four- and six-session packages for better value on a full course. Results are generally associated with progressive thinning and slower regrowth over the course, with occasional maintenance sessions afterwards. Suitability depends on hair colour and skin type and is confirmed at consultation; very light or grey hair responds poorly, and treatment is adjusted or avoided over tattoos, certain skin conditions and in pregnancy.
