Deciding you’re ready for laser hair removal is the easy part.

Who doesn’t want the luxury of silky, smooth skin? The

tricky part comes when selecting which clinic to trust with

your treatments. Just like undergoing any type of cosmetic

procedure, it is important to conduct your research thoroughly

to ensure you are in safe hands. At Australian Skin Clinics, we’ll

make sure your laser hair removal session runs smoothly (pun

intended!).

Choose the right clinic

Perhaps the most important decision you will make when

it comes to laser hair removal is choosing the right clinic.

At Australian Skin Clinics, we offer a complimentary initial

consultation to ensure you are provided with the best possible

treatment options. This allows our technicians to assess your

eligibility for treatment and inform you of your options before

you commit to payment for services.

Before the session

Preparation is important when it comes to laser hair removal.

Make sure you avoid wax/depilatory cream, fake tan and

getting sunburnt up to two weeks before your session. This

is important, as the laser targets the pigment in your hair

follicles and will also sizzle any pigment on your skin, including

tanning products. Also, ensure you shave the treatment area

roughly 12 hours prior to your laser hair removal session.

This may seem counterintuitive, however it is safer and more

effective to treat shaven skin.

During the session

When you arrive for your laser hair removal session, you will

note our equipment is gold-standard and medical-grade,

which is standard across all Australian Skin Clinics. Once your

session has commenced, make sure you advise your laser

technician if you are in pain. Most people find laser removal to

be quite tolerable and describe it as an elastic band snapping

the laser accordingly or provide relief.

After the session

Ensure you follow your technician’s post-care advice and avoid

makeup and the sun for 48 hours after your laser hair removal

session. Each person will react differently to treatment, and

common responses may include pinkness and mild swelling

around the hair follicles. This can be combated by applying

post-laser treatment products such as Balense Recovery

Cream and cold compresses.
