Long Pulse Laser Hair Reduction employs advanced Nd: YAG laser technology to selectively target hair follicles through a process known as selective photothermolysis. This technique allows the laser's long pulse duration to penetrate deeply, damaging the hair follicle while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. It's an innovative solution for achieving smoother skin with long-term hair reduction.

The treatment works by directing laser energy at the melanin-rich hair follicles. The energy is absorbed and converted into heat, effectively disrupting the follicle's ability to regrow hair. Additionally, our patented cooling system actively pre-cools, cools during, and post-cools the skin to enhance comfort and protect the surrounding tissue.

Yes. Our Long Pulse Laser Hair Reduction is safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types—from the lightest to the darkest. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with coarse hair, including those with darker skin tones. A personalized consultation will ensure that the treatment is customized to your specific skin and hair characteristics.

Because hair grows in cycles, not every hair is in the active (anagen) growth phase at the same time. Most patients require a series of 6 to 12 sessions, spaced 3 to 12 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Your personalized treatment plan will reflect your individual hair growth cycle and targeted areas.

Most patients find the treatment to be virtually painless. The advanced cooling system reduces discomfort during each laser pulse. For particularly sensitive areas, cryo-anaesthesia (ice packs or a cold air jet) can be applied, ensuring you remain as comfortable as possible throughout your session.

The procedure is non-invasive, and most patients experience only minimal redness or slight swelling in the treatment area. These effects are typically temporary and resolve within a few hours, allowing you to quickly resume your daily activities.

While most hair stops growing after a series of Long Pulse laser treatments, a few hairs may still grow when the next hair growth cycle begins. Generally, 1 to 3 maintenance treatment sessions are needed to remove any new hair, and the patient will typically experience new hair growth during the next hair growth cycle. The number of hairs that may grow usually ranges from 3 to 10. In cases of hormonal imbalance, hair growth may be more sporadic and require consistent treatment.

When performed by our skilled clinicians, the treatment is very safe and has no side effects. Temporary aftereffects may include mild redness, slight swelling, or minor sensitivity in the treated area. Our state-of-the-art cooling technology and expert protocols minimize these risks, ensuring a safe overall experience.

To protect your skin before your session, avoid direct sun exposure and tanning. After treatment, follow your treating doctor's advice to keep the area clean and protected, avoid excessive heat or friction, apply moisturizer, and use sunscreen to protect against UV exposure. Our team will provide detailed pre- and post-treatment guidelines to maximize your results and maintain skin health.
