How it works
Laser hair removal uses a concentrated beam of light to target the damaged hair follicles. The pigment in your hair follicle absorbs the light and heat, damaging the follicle enough to discourage further hair growth and causing the hair to fall out.
In darker skin types, the laser energy targets the hair follicle’s blood supply. With each treatment, the follicle is further impaired and will become unable to grow more hair.
Laser hair removal can only treat your hair during the growth phase, so complete course of treatments is required to see best results.
At Australian Skin Clinics, we provide fast & affordable laser hair removal treatments that help permanent reduction in unwanted hair and reduce the chance of ingrown hairs and shaving rash. Get in touch or book now for treatments
Optimise your results
For best results, we recommend an initial course of 6-12 treatments at monthly intervals. As you progress through your treatment plan, time between treatments may increase as hair re-growth reduces.
Ensure you are using SPF daily and if you want to take your silky-smooth skin to the next level, grab our Balense Post Laser Recovery Pack in-clinic.
Please note: For your safety, we cannot treat if there is fake tan in the treatment area on the day of treatment.

10 Things You Need to Know About Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is now more affordable and accessible than ever. After years of shaving or waxing, you may be considering laser hair removal as a permanent solution to unwanted hair.
Here are some important things to know before you start treatment so you can achieve silky-smooth results!
How to Care for Your Skin After Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a powerful, long-lasting solution for achieving smooth, hair-free skin, offering results that surpass traditional hair removal methods. While undergoing laser hair removal is an exciting step toward your skincare goals, your journey doesn’t end when you leave the clinic. Proper post-laser skincare is essential for minimising side effects and enhancing your results.
Laser vs IPL: Which Hair Removal Is Best?
Let’s be honest: hair removal is one of those time-consuming rituals most of us would gladly skip if we could. The endless cycle of shaving, the sting and stickiness of waxing, and the downright frustration of slow, fiddly epilators can make hair removal feel like a never-ending chore.
Laser hair removal has fast become one of the most effective options for permanent hair reduction. No laser clinic can claim 100% hair removal, as some hair will always strive to grow back. Re-growth can be affected by hormones and other biological factors which can vary depending on the individual.
The number of treatments needed varies from person to person and is influenced by factors such as skin type, hair color, medications, and hormones.
Typically, achieving the best hair reduction results requires a series of 8 to 10 treatments. During your complimentary consultation and treatment planning session, your technician will assess your needs and recommend the optimal number of treatments for you.
Since hair growth follows a natural cycle, treatments are best scheduled every 4 to 6 weeks for facial areas and 6 to 10 weeks for body areas until the full course is completed. Your technician will track your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
For the best results, we encourage clients to stay consistent with their treatment schedule. Missing appointments or leaving long gaps between sessions can prevent optimal outcomes.
Yes, a large percentage of our clientele are male and the most commonly treated areas treated are back, chest and arms.
Laser can decrease the chance of experiencing ingrown hairs. When there is no hair in the follicle, there is less chance of an ingrown hair occurring.
Laser hair removal achieves the best results for people with fairer skin and darker hair, however our laser technology and laser preparation products allow us to treat a variety of skin and hair types. Laser hair removal is not suited to blonde, red, grey or white hair. Your technician will be able to assess your hair during a free consultation.
The laser specifically targets the pigment within the hair follicle. Consequently, it is important not to affect the skin’s pigmentation before or after your laser treatments. Sun exposure can increase the risk of adverse reaction including burning, blistering and post inflammatory hyper or hypo pigmentation in some cases these reactions can be permanent and prevent you from achieving your ideal results.
Please avoid sun exposure or solariums 2 – 4 weeks prior to your first treatment and continue to avoid exposure to the treatment area throughout your entire treatment plan. Be sure to also apply sunscreen hourly if you are exposed to direct sunlight.
It is also recommended not to use any form of artificial tanning products prior to your treatment, this includes fake tan sprays or lotions and bronzing powders or creams. As these products alter your natural skin colour, they must be completely removed from the treatment area prior to your appointment, otherwise your technician may advise you to postpone your treatment.
Clients with hormonal imbalances or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) are recommended to consult an Endocrinologist for evaluation and possible medical treatment. These clients tend to have excess hair growth secondary to their medical condition and may find that they require both medical treatment as well as ongoing laser treatment, in order to achieve optimum results.
At Australian Skin Clinics, we require clients to be at least 18 years old to receive laser hair removal treatments. If you’re under the age of 18, we may still provide treatment, but parental or guardian consent will be required.
During your initial consultation, our team will assess your skin type, hair type, and overall suitability for treatment. We take extra care with younger clients to ensure that the hair growth and hormonal changes have stabilised, which can impact treatment results.
Yes, if you have epilepsy, it’s important to inform us before undergoing laser hair removal. The bright flashes of light emitted during the treatment can be a potential trigger for individuals with epilepsy.
Our experienced team will assess your medical history during the consultation and discuss alternative methods or adjustments to your treatment plan to ensure that your safety and comfort are prioritised. In some cases, we may advise against laser hair removal if it poses any risks to your health.
Laser hair removal cannot be performed directly over tattoos. The laser used in hair removal targets the pigment in the hair follicle, which means it can also react with the pigments in a tattoo.
This can lead to skin damage, including burns, blisters, or fading of the tattoo. During your treatment, our skilled therapists will carefully work around any tattooed areas to avoid these risks. If you’re concerned about hair growth near a tattoo, we can recommend other safe hair removal methods for those areas.
While there is no conclusive research indicating that laser hair removal is unsafe during pregnancy, we advise against undergoing laser treatments while pregnant as a precautionary measure. During pregnancy, your body goes through significant hormonal changes, which can affect hair growth and sensitivity to treatments.
To prioritise the health and safety of both you and your baby, we recommend waiting until after childbirth to begin or resume your laser hair removal treatments. Our consultants will be happy to provide you with detailed guidance on post-pregnancy treatment plans.
Most clients find laser hair removal to be very tolerable without the need for numbing creams. Our advanced laser machines come equipped with cooling technology to soothe the skin during treatment and minimise discomfort.
However, if you have a lower pain threshold or are particularly sensitive to treatments, we can discuss the option of using a topical numbing cream during your consultation. Our aim is to ensure that your experience is as comfortable and painless as possible, and we’ll tailor the treatment to suit your needs.
