What is laser hair reduction?

Laser hair reduction uses targeted laser energy to heat and damage the hair follicle, helping reduce future hair growth.

Over time and repeated treatments, hair typically becomes:

  • Finer

  • Lighter

  • Less dense

  • Slower to regrow

Unlike waxing or shaving, laser hair reduction targets the follicle itself for longer-term results.

Unlike IPL systems, excel® V+ uses true laser wavelengths for more targeted follicle treatment.

How does the treatment work?

Hair follicles contain melanin pigment.

The laser energy selectively targets this pigment without significantly affecting surrounding skin.

This heat damages the follicle and disrupts future growth cycles.

Because hair grows in different stages, multiple sessions are usually required for best results.

What does treatment feel like?

Most clients describe the sensation as mild warmth or quick elastic-band snaps against the skin.

Cooling technology is used throughout treatment to improve comfort.

What to expect after treatment

You may experience temporary:

  • Mild redness

  • Warmth

  • Slight sensitivity

  • Mild swelling around follicles

Most clients return to normal activities quickly.

Aftercare

  • Avoid sun exposure

  • Wear SPF daily

  • Avoid waxing or plucking between sessions

  • Avoid excessive heat, saunas and exercise for 24–48 hours

  • Shaving is permitted between treatments

Hair shedding usually begins within 1–3 weeks after treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

Most clients require approximately 6–10 treatments depending on:

  • Hair thickness

  • Hair colour

  • Skin type

  • Hormonal influences

  • Treatment area

Sessions are usually spaced 4–8 weeks apart.

Maintenance treatments may occasionally be recommended.

Is laser hair reduction suitable for everyone?

Laser hair reduction may not be suitable if you are:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding

  • Recently tanned or sunburnt

  • Taking photosensitising medications

  • Experiencing active irritation or infection

  • Using isotretinoin

  • Unable to avoid sun exposure

Best results are generally achieved with darker hair due to melanin targeting.

A consultation is required before treatment.

FAQ

Is laser hair reduction permanent?
