Achieve Smooth, Hair-Free Skin with Advanced Laser Technology
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a medical-grade treatment in which concentrated light (laser) is directed at hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair and converted into heat, which damages the hair-producing follicles and delays future hair growth.
What Makes Someone a Suitable Candidate?
-
Best results are seen in individuals with dark, coarse hair and lighter skin tone, because the contrast between hair pigment and skin pigment allows the laser to target the hair effectively.
-
Newer laser technologies now make treatment safer and more effective on a wider range of skin tones, including darker skin.
-
Not all hair types respond equally — light-coloured, grey, red or very fine hairs may not absorb laser energy as well.

How Laser Hair Removal Works at Layers Clinics
-
Attend a consultation with a dermatologist to evaluate skin tone, hair type, and suitability for treatment.
-
Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds or spray tans for at least 4-6 weeks before the session, as tanned skin increases risk of side-effects. Shave the treatment area 24-48 hours before your appointment (unless instructed otherwise).
-
Avoid waxing, plucking, bleaching or epilating for several weeks before, as the laser targets the hair root.
-
-
Eye protection is provided for you and the practitioner.
-
A cooling gel or device is used to keep your skin comfortable while the laser pulses target hair follicles.

You may feel a mild snapping-rubber-band sensation; sessions last from a few minutes to ~60 minutes depending on treatment area.

The treated area may appear red or slightly swollen for a few hours.
