HAIR REDUCTION
Tired of shaving, waxing or using depilatory creams? Is your hair growth causing you embarrassment? Want to save time on hair reduction? Then let us reduce it for you for a longer period … or permanently!
We offer several ways of permanently reducing unwanted hair. You will find a multitude of laser and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) machines on the market, but most of these are not powerful enough to successfully and permanently remove all the hair you desire. Effective hair reduction depends on careful assessment and analysis of your skin and hair colour, as well as the type of hair you would like reduced (thin vs thick). Our machines are the latest and most effective available and our professional staff can individually assess your hair and skin types to ensure you will achieve the best possible results.

- Concern: Unwanted hair
- Solution: White, red, grey and very thin (velous) hair, as well as eyebrow hair, cannot be removed by laser or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) machines, therefore waxing is the ultimate solution. Also, if you have very tanned skin, lasers and IPLs will be less effective, making waxing a better option. A special warm wax is placed on the area where the hair is to be reduced. Once attached to the hair follicles, it is lifted off quickly to remove the hair from the roots. Hair regrowth is finer over time and soft, not ‘prickly’ as it is after shaving. The results also last much longer than shaving – about 4-6 weeks compared to 1-3 days.
- Time: 10-30 minutes per session, depending on the size of the area being waxed. You require ongoing sessions every 4-6 weeks, due to hair regrowth.
- Recovery: Overnight, due to slight redness

PERMANENT HAIR REDUCTION
- Concern: Unwanted hair
- Solution: We have selected the Starlux 500 IPL as it is the most powerful and quickest of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) machines on all skin colours. To permanently reduce hair by destroying the hair bulb, the base of the hair follicle needs to be heated to more than 70°C. Most other IPL machines don’t generate sufficient power, surface cooling and appropriate wavelengths to create enough heat to permanently destroy the hair bulb in all skin colours. The Starlux 500 IPL also produces the most comfortable hair reduction of all IPL machines on the market due to its efficient cooling system and speed of treatment.
- Time: 5-60 minutes per session, depending on the size of the area targeted. Hair reduction with the Starlux 500 IPL requires a third to half the time to complete each treatment compared to most other IPL machines. Also, due to its power and effectiveness, fewer treatments will be needed. You require 4-8 sessions over about 12 months due to hair growth stages.
- Recovery: Immediate or overnight, depending on the area treated.

- Concern: Unwanted hair
- Solution: This is the fastest and strongest hair reduction laser which can, in some people, give superior results to IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) machines. It is also very safe and has the best track record of achieving permanent hair reduction in all skin colours. This is because it comprises two separate lasers that work on either light or dark skin. In fact, it’s one of the only lasers that is effective on lighter hair – particularly on those people who’ve experienced unsuccessful hair reduction in the past.
- Time: 5-60 minutes per session, depending on the size of the area targeted. Hair reduction with the Candela GMAX Laser requires a third to half the time to complete each treatment compared to most other laser machines. Also, due to its power and effectiveness, fewer treatments will be needed. You require 4-8 sessions over about 12 months due to hair growth stages.
- Recovery: Immediate or overnight, depending on the area treated.

- Solution: A proven means of permanent hair reduction, electrolysis has been around for more than 100 years. It works by using heat to destroy the dermal papilla (from which the hair grows) via a probe inserted into the hair shaft. This method of hair reduction is not appropriate for large areas, as it is conducted follicle by follicle, but works well on small areas.
- Time: 15-60 minutes per session, depending on the size of the area treated. You will require 3-4 sessions over about 12 months, due to hair growth stages.
- Recovery: 0 days
