FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal dramatically reduces hair growth by safely destroying active (i.e. growing) hair at its roots. This popular hair removal method can achieve up to 95% permanent results and is the longest-lasting hair removal treatment available. In many cases, people see a large reduction in the amount of hair regrowth after just one session.

How Does It Work?

A concentrated beam of laser light is aimed at the hair. The light is absorbed by the hair pigment in the hair and travels down the hair shaft and destroys the hair follicle and the bulb enough to retard future growth.

About Face Brisbane offers hair removal treatments using a variety of advanced laser technologies to achieve an optimal result. We are able to remove hair that does not respond to the cheaper IPL hair removal systems.

What Type Of Lasers Are Used?

We use the Lumenis LightSheer Diode for the majority of hair removal. This laser is safe for all skin types and can treat large areas of the body fast and effectively.

Our Medlite Q Switch and Fotona Dynamis ND:YAG can safely treat darker skins and complex hormonal hair conditions.

Are Your Staff Qualified?

Yes, all our laser technicians are qualified through QLD Health Radiation.

How Many Sessions Of Laser Hair Removal Will I Need?

To achieve the best results, around eight to ten laser hair removal sessions are recommended. This is because not all hairs will be in the active growing phase at any one time, and laser hair removal only destroys actively growing hair follicles.

Is Laser Hair Removal At About Face Brisbane Safe?

Yes, it’s completely safe for all areas of the body, even the groin. The laser’s energy selectively targets and disrupts hair follicles only, and leaves the skin completely unaffected. The laser beam (of 800 nanomentres) penetrates the skin only. It can’t reach internal organs

Does About Face Brisbane Use IPL For Hair Removal?

No, because Intense Pulse Light (IPL) is less effective than our LightSheer DUET machine. The LightSheer DUET includes two optimal wavelength of 800 nm diode hair removal handles on one versatile platform. This is a genuine, medical-grade, FDA approved laser.

What Do I Need To Do Before My Treatment?

  • It is important to avoid sun exposure for at least 3 weeks prior to laser treatment
  • If you have a spray tan this needs to be completely gone before your treatment
  • You need to wait four weeks after waxing before you can have a laser hair removal treatment
  • It is important to shave the area to be treated the night before or on the day of your treatment

Can I Have Laser Hair Removal If I Am Pregnant?

Scientists can’t be sure if laser hair removal affects unborn babies or not (as there is not enough evidence to reach a conclusion), so it’s best to be cautious and not have laser hair removal performed if you are pregnant.
