Laser hair removal is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses focused light energy to permanently reduce unwanted hair. It works by targeting melanin, the pigment that gives hair its colour, with a concentrated beam of light. This light is absorbed by the hair follicle and converted into heat, which damages the follicle and inhibits future growth.

However, here’s the challenge: melanin is also present in the skin, especially in darker skin tones. If the laser doesn’t penetrate deep enough or isn’t selective enough, it can affect the surrounding skin—increasing the risk of burns, blistering, or pigmentation changes. That’s why choosing the right laser technology for your skin type is essential for both safety and long-term results.

Why We Use the Polaris True Long-Pulsed ND:YAG

At Laser & Spa, we believe in delivering results without compromising safety — which is why we’ve invested in the Polaris True Long-Pulsed ND:YAG, one of the most advanced and trusted lasers available.

Many machines claim to treat “all skin types,” but most devices that offer multiple wavelengths — such as diode lasers with built-in ND:YAG modes — are still fundamentally diode-based. They lack the depth and safety needed to treat deeper skin tones without risk. These shortcuts can increase the chance of pigmentation, burns, and scarring.

The Polaris uses a 1064nm wavelength, the longest and safest currently available for hair removal. This allows the laser to bypass the melanin-rich surface of the skin and target the hair follicle directly — making it significantly safer for darker skin tones and less likely to cause irritation or complications.

And comfort? That’s covered too. The Polaris features a powerful cooling system, which protects the skin’s surface and minimises discomfort during treatment, making sessions as gentle as they are effective.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL

We’re proud to use technology that is both inclusive and high-performing. The Polaris ND: YAG allows us to safely treat all skin types on the Fitzpatrick scale, from Type I to Type VI.

Its deeper penetration doesn’t just mean safety — it also means better results. The 1064nm wavelength leads to more effective, longer-term hair reduction by reaching the follicle more efficiently than shorter wavelengths.

Safe, Effective, Inclusive

What is it?

What areas can be treated:

Laser hair removal is suitable for multiple areas of the body, including:

• Face

• Underarms

• Legs

• Bikini line

• Back

• Chest

• Arms and more

Over a course of sessions, you’ll notice that hair becomes finer, grows back slower, and eventually stops growing altogether in the treated areas.

Tailored Treatments, Trusted Techniques

At Laser & Spa, every treatment is thoughtfully tailored to your skin tone, hair type, and personal goals. I use trusted, industry-approved techniques to ensure each session is safe, comfortable, and results-driven.

From your initial consultation and patch test to personalised aftercare, I’ll guide you through every step of the process. You’ll receive honest advice and expert support, so you can feel fully informed and confident in your treatment plan.

I’m genuinely passionate about helping people feel at ease and empowered in their own bodies — and laser hair removal is one of the most effective ways I do that.

Why I Do This Work

At Laser & Spa, I believe that self-care is personal, and so are your choices around hair removal. For many people, unwanted hair can affect confidence, comfort, or daily routines. That’s why I offer laser hair removal: to provide a low-maintenance, long-lasting solution that helps you feel confident in your skin.

This isn’t just a treatment—it’s an investment in your confidence, time, and wellbeing. I’ve seen how powerful it can be for people preparing for holidays, and for those with conditions like PCOS, who struggle with excess hair growth.

My approach is based on three core values:

• Safety

• Comfort

• Real results
