Are you considering laser hair removal but have a thousand questions about it first? Stop right there. We hear you and we’re HERE for you! As Australia’s largest network of laser hair removal clinics, we’ve got all your questions answered and all those laser hair removal myths, busted.

Let’s set the scene. You’re sick of waxing and shaving. You hate the whole routine. You hate the ingrown hairs and most of all you hate the time it takes to shave or wax. We totally get it which is why laser takes the hassle out of everything to do with hair removal so that you can be ready at a moment’s notice. That last-minute trip to the beach? No worries. Unexpected date night? We’ve got you.

It’s perfectly normal to be curious about the laser hair removal process and there’s a lot of mixed messages out there about how laser works, how soon you can see laser results and answering questions like, ‘does laser hurt?’

Let’s get myth-busting.

MYTH 1: LASER IS ONLY FOR WOMEN.

Oh em gee! Your brother, best mate, father, cousin, boyfriend is more than likely already doing laser or at the least, they’re toying with the idea. I mean who can blame them? Laser for men can seriously help with ingrown hairs and it can help the guys who are worried/self-conscious/sick of the amount of body hair they have. And here’s something the blokes aren’t fully aware of… laser hair removal can also be used as hair reduction. GUYS. Laser doesn’t immediately get rid of all hair. You need multiple sessions to reduce hair growth. Therefore, you can control how much hair you wish to reduce by controlling the number of sessions you go in for. E.g.: undertaking 3-5 sessions instead of the recommended 10 sessions. You’re welcome, bro.

MYTH 2: LASER HAIR REMOVAL IS EXPENSIVE.

It’s never been more affordable or easier to begin laser with hair removal, prices start from just $10. Yep – the same price as your morning coffee and a slice of banana bread.

Also, we compared the price of laser to waxing and shaving, and you’d be surprised to know that if you opted for laser hair removal, over 5 years you’d save $1,638 and over 20 years? $7,968. Check it out via our video below.
