Laser Hair Removal
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser Hair Removal permanently removes unwanted hair from anywhere on the body. The Duetto EVO laser targets unwanted hair to destroy hair follicles, preventing further growth.
The ‘Duetto EVO’ is medically graded and the Gold Standard for Laser Hair Removal. This machine uses mixed technology: Alexandrite and ND YAG which allows us to treat all skin and hair types.
The Alexandrite laser emits light energy via an alexandrite crystal. Light pulses target the hair follicle causing the hair to fall out and minimise further growth. ND YAG lasers are specially designed to remove hair for darker skin types. This laser is configured to a specific wavelength of invisible light.

How does Laser Hair Removal work?
Energy from the laser light is absorbed by the melanin within the hair, targeting the hair roots beneath the skin. The hair follicle is heated to around 55-70 degrees destroying the stem cells which are responsible for hair growth. This process is called photothermolysis.
8 treatments minimum is required with 4-6 weekly intervals to ensure all hair follicles are targeted at the right stage of growth. The laser can only target hair that is in the anagen hair growth phase (fully grown and attached to the follicle).

What can Laser Hair Removal be used for?
Laser Hair Removal is a permanent solution to removing unwanted hair from the face and body.
Any area of the face where hair grows can be treated with Laser Hair Removal. Some popular examples of laser hair removal treatment include:
- Full Face – A treatment to remove unwanted hair from the full face
- Upper Lip – A great solution to avoid waxing the upper lip
- Chin – Perfect for those who have unwanted hair in this area and aren’t sure how to get rid of it
Often, when we use alternative methods of hair removal like shaving or waxing, hair can sometimes grow back thicker and darker, which is more noticeable on the face, especially in areas where you don’t want it. Treating these areas with Laser Hair Removal will remove the hair and prevent further growth so you can say goodbye to those frequent waxing appointments.
Laser Hair removal is also very popular for removing unwanted body hair and eliminating the need to shave or wax these areas too. Treatments include:
- Full body
- Underarms
- Arms – whole or half
- Legs – whole or half
- Bikini
- Brazilian
- Hollywood
