Looking for the best options for permanent hair reduction?
Come to us for hair removal – it’s fast, permanent and safe. Our Sydney laser hair clinics use medical grade lasers. These are the Candela GentleLASE and the Candela GentleYAG which offer the most efficent laser treatments available. These lasers emit a single concentrated light beam which is absorbed and transmitted by the pigment in the hair, converted into thermal energy and effectively ‘disables’ the hair’s ability to grow. They feature a Dynamic Cooling Device that acts on the skin to counteract the heating effect of the laser for your comfort.
These lasers have proven to be medically safe and effective.
Laser treatment is safe and does not harm or alter surrounding tissue or skin. Treatments will be conducted by experienced and trained professionals and over a short series of treatments you will see permanent hair reduction. There are major advantages if you should choose laser hair removal. Unlike ‘follicle by follicle’ hair removal treatments, the laser uses a wide beam which allows the removal of many hair follicles all at once. Unlike electrolysis, which takes months to perform and also was much more prone to human error, hair removal through the use of a laser can achieve dramatic results in as little as a few minutes. These treatments are in general permanent, with an average reduction in hair growth of 70% – 95%.
About Laser Hair Removal
Laser Clinics Australia use the Candela GentleLASE and the Candela GentleYAG lasers which are medical grade and ensure the very best results. These lasers apply precisely controlled pulses of energy which reach the hair follicles and disable their ability to grow. Unlike UVA and UVB light, laser treatment light is safe and does not pose any risk to the skin.
Its important to make sure the right laser procedures are used for you. Our professional staff will take into account your body chemistry, skin and hair type in order to put together a personalised hair removal plan for you. This plan will also give you a good idea of how many treatments are required for you to achieve permanent results.
Some facts about laser hair removal
The time required for laser hair removal procedures varies. Facial and bikini areas are usually completed in under 10 minutes. For backs, legs and larger areas the procedure usually takes about an hour.
You may be wondering about the procedures themselves and whether they cause any discomfort. The Candela lasers we use have a cooling feature which reduces discomfort. Though a slightly different sensation, it is not much more painful than waxing. For more sensistive areas of the body a topical aesthetic cream can be used. Your consultant can advise you on this.

Beware of IPLs
Be aware of hair removal systems that use traditional light for treatment. Intense Pulse Light machines or IPLs are not true hair removal lasers. These devices use a concentrated beam of traditional incoherent light, often in conjunction with a cream or gel, to burn the hair shaft.
A serious flaw with IPLs is that they lack the laser’s ability to produce a selective bandwidth of light that will only affect the hair shaft (selective photothermolysis). These devices produce a wide bandwidth of light that can heat up all of the surrounding tissue as well as the hair folicle itself.
IPLs are generally cheaper devices and are used for various skin procedures first and foremost, with hair removal as more of an afterthought. Judging from consumer feedback, true lasers usually achieve better and faster results for hair removal purposes. Most clinics do not use a true laser for hair removal, and try to claim that IPL is an equal substitute. Be sure the treatment you choose is with a laser and not an IPL.
