Unwanted dark hair
Unwanted dark hair on the face or body is one of the most common reasons people visit an aesthetic clinic. Shaving, waxing and threading give short-term results and can cause irritation, ingrown hairs and pigmentation.
We use professional Candela laser technology for long-term hair reduction. Because laser targets pigment in the hair, it works best on darker hair; any white or grey hairs that remain can be treated with electrolysis.
Areas we treat
- Face: upper lip, chin, cheeks and neck
- Underarms, arms and legs
- Bikini and Brazilian area
- Back, chest, abdomen and shoulders
What to expect
Hair grows in cycles, so a course of sessions spaced several weeks apart is needed. Most people see a significant, long-lasting reduction, with occasional maintenance sessions.
- Shave the area the day before — don't wax or thread
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning before and after
Suitable options
Your doctor will confirm the best option after examination.

Common questions
How many laser sessions do I need?
Usually 6 to 8 sessions, depending on hair colour, thickness and area.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser gives long-term hair reduction rather than a guarantee that every hair is gone. Maintenance may be needed.
How many sessions will I need?
Commonly 6–8 sessions, depending on the area, hair and skin type.
Does it hurt?
Most people feel a quick snap; Candela's cooling system makes sessions more comfortable.
Is it suitable for men?
Yes — for the back, chest, shoulders, beard line and neck.
