Clients can see up to 90% reduction in hair growth with laser hair removal. Any hair that does regrow will be finer, lighter, and slower to return. You’ll also enjoy smoother skin, fewer ingrown hairs, and no more stubble or rashes from frequent shaving or waxing.
Effectiveness depends on:
-
Hair colour – Darker hair responds best, while white, blonde, grey, or red hair shows less effective results due to lower pigment.
-
Number of sessions – A full course of treatments is essential for optimal results.
-
Hormonal changes – Conditions such as PCOS can affect growth, so top-up sessions may be required for lasting results.
With the right number of sessions at the correct intervals, you’re likely to see permanent hair reduction — and may never need to wax or shave again.
What’s the Difference Between Laser Hair Removal and IPL?
Laser Hair Removal:
-
Uses a single, precise wavelength of light.
-
Targets hair follicles accurately without damaging surrounding skin.
-
Delivers faster, longer-lasting results.
-
Safe for all skin types when the correct wavelength is used.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light):
-
Emits scattered light across multiple wavelengths, like a bulb.
-
Less powerful and less targeted than a laser.
-
Typically requires more sessions and delivers less effective results.
-
Success depends heavily on practitioner technique.
At La Rose Clinic, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro, a gold-standard medical-grade laser, carefully calibrated to your skin and hair type for safe and effective results.
What Skin Types Can Be Treated?
At La Rose Clinic, we can treat all skin types — from very fair to very dark — using different wavelengths:
-
Alexandrite (755nm): Best for lighter skin tones and finer hair.
-
Nd:YAG (1064nm): Safest option for darker skin tones, minimising risks of pigmentation changes.
We use the Fitzpatrick Skin Scale during your consultation to assess your skin type and determine the best laser settings for you. A patch test is always carried out before treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Preparing for Laser Hair Removal
Before your appointment, you should:
-
Shave the treatment area (do not wax, pluck, or use depilatory creams).
-
Ensure the area is clean and free from make-up, creams, or deodorant.
-
Avoid sun exposure, tanning, or fake tan for at least 4 weeks before treatment.
-
Inform us if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as treatment cannot be carried out.
