Laser Hair Removal​

Laser Hair Removal is a safe and effective treatment designed to achieve long-term hair reduction by targeting the hair follicle with concentrated light energy. The pigment (melanin) within the hair absorbs the laser energy, which helps reduce the follicle's ability to produce new hair while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.

Because hair grows in different stages, multiple treatments are required to target hairs during their active growth phase. Over the course of your treatment plan, you'll notice hair becoming finer, lighter and growing back more slowly, with many clients enjoying smooth, low-maintenance skin.

Every Laser Hair Removal journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your skin and hair type, determine your suitability for treatment, and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your goals.

At Melbourne Skin, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro®, one of the world's leading medical-grade laser systems. Featuring both Alexandrite (755nm) and Nd Yag (1064nm) technology, the GentleMax Pro allows us to safely and effectively treat a wide range of skin tones and hair types while delivering fast, comfortable treatments with minimal downtime.

Laser Hair Removal may not be suitable if you:

• Are pregnant (treatment is postponed as a precaution)
• Have an active skin infection, rash or open wound in the treatment area
• Have active cold sores in the treatment area
• Have recently used isotretinoin (Roaccutane®) (timing will be assessed during your consultation)
• Have had significant sun exposure, sunburn or fake tan on the treatment area
• Are taking medications that cause photosensitivity (light sensitivity)
• Have suspicious or undiagnosed skin lesions in the treatment area
• Have certain medical conditions that affect healing or light sensitivity
• Have recently waxed, plucked or threaded the treatment area (the hair follicle must be present for treatment)

Please note: A thorough consultation and medical history will be completed before treatment to ensure Laser Hair Removal is safe and appropriate for you. If you are unsure whether a medication or medical condition may affect your suitability, please contact our clinic prior to your appointment.

Most clients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable Laser Hair Removal is. The sensation is often described as a quick, light flick against the skin, similar to the snap of a small elastic band. Treatments are very fast, and any discomfort only lasts a fraction of a second.

At Melbourne Skin, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro®, and The Cryo6 Cooler (Zimmer)  that delivers cooling simultaneously. This helps protect the skin and makes the treatment significantly more comfortable, allowing most clients to tolerate it with ease.

For the best results, Laser Hair Removal treatments are typically performed every 4–8 weeks, depending on the area being treated and your individual hair growth cycle.

Because hair grows in different stages, multiple treatments are required to effectively target hairs during their active growth phase. Most clients require 6–12 treatments to achieve optimal long-term hair reduction, followed by occasional maintenance treatments if needed.

Your clinician will recommend a personalised treatment schedule based on your skin type, hair type and treatment goals.

Pre-Treatment Care

• Shave the treatment area 12–24 hours before your appointment.
• Avoid waxing, plucking or threading for at least 4 weeks before treatment.
• Stay out of the sun and avoid fake tan for at least 2 weeks before your appointment.
• Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup, deodorant, lotions or perfumes on the treatment area.
• Exfoliate before your appointment.
• Let your clinician know about any new medications or changes to your health.

Post-Treatment Care

• Apply SPF 50+ daily and avoid direct sun exposure.
• Keep the skin cool and well moisturised.
• Avoid hot showers, saunas, spas and strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
• Avoid fake tan until the skin has completely settled.
• Do not wax, pluck or thread between treatments—shaving is perfectly fine.
• Exfoliate 7 days post treatment and 2-3 times a week.
• Follow any additional aftercare advice provided by your clinician.

Please Note: We DO NOT treat the Male Buttocks or Brazilian.
