Is laser hair removal safe on the full body?
Laser hair removal is a safe and effective treatment for the full body. Laser delivers pulses of energy into the skin. Depending on your skin type a laser is selected to safely deliver this energy into the skin. This energy targets hair follicles and disables them. New hairs are prevented from regrowing after a number of treatments. Our lasers are FDA approved, medical grade devices that are fully serviced to ensure you get the best out of each and every one of your sessions with us. Our team of dedicated hair removal specialists perform laser all day, every day and are experts at removing hair.

Does laser hair removal hurt on the full body?
Some areas may feel more sensitive than others but laser hair removal should not hurt. We use a pain scale of 1-10, we ask during treatment that you feel around a 5. You should feel a slight, warm bearable pinch. Our therapists are experts in what they do and will adjust treatment to make sure you are comfortable throughout. Our lasers also have cooling systems built in and deliver a jet of cold air onto the skin during treatment to minimise any sensation you may feel.
