Laser hair removal is a long-term hair reduction treatment using advanced diode laser technology to safely target unwanted hair at the follicle for smoother, low-maintenance skin.
Laser hair removal at R&R Aesthetics uses the clinically proven Lumenis LightSheer diode laser, designed to selectively target hair follicles while protecting the surrounding skin. The laser energy is absorbed by pigment in the hair, helping to disrupt future growth without damaging the skin surface.
Treatment is suitable for many areas including the face, underarms, legs, bikini line and back. As hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are required to effectively treat follicles in their active growth phase. A personalised treatment plan will be recommended during consultation, typically involving around six sessions for best long-term reduction.
The LightSheer system incorporates advanced comfort features, including a gentle vacuum mechanism and integrated cooling, to help minimise discomfort during treatment. Sensations are often described as mild pressure with brief heat.
Every treatment begins with a consultation and patch test to assess suitability, skin type and hair characteristics, ensuring a safe and tailored approach.
