Say Goodbye To Wax And Razors
Like being ready for anything, always? Laser hair removal is the treatment for you. Laser can permanently reduce hair growth – so you can ditch the wax and razors for good. Our fully trained laser technicians use industry-leading technology to perform treatments on a huge range of hair types and skin tones. Treatments are fast, effective and affordable, and can be tailored to treat hair on all areas of the face and body.
Laser can only target hair during its ‘growth’ phase, which means a series of sessions, typically 8 – 12 spaced 4 weeks apart (depending on area and skin tone) will be needed to help in getting smooth, hair-free skin. We think it’s seriously worth it.

How Does It Work?
Laser hair removal works by targeting the hair root or blood supply using a concentrated beam of light. This light is absorbed by pigment, damaging the follicle and rendering it incapable of growing hair. This can help to result in long-lasting reduction in the hair growth of the treated area. Laser hair removal can result in long-term hair-free skin… in some people, hair never returns (though everyone is different, and results vary).
We have different lasers available and can offer successful treatment to help a huge range of skin tone and hair colours, though unfortunately we are unable to treat red, white or grey hair

Does It Hurt?
Some patients find laser hair removal uncomfortable, but not ‘painful’. The lasers we use at VIDA Clinic are among the latest and best in the industry. Following your treatment your skin may be a little red, like a mild sunburn, but this should pass quickly. Your laser technician will advise you on the best ways to reduce this.
Patients report that compared to the pain of waxing, laser’s a breeze… with the added bonus of effective results!
Shave – Shave the treatment area the night before your appointment.
No Wax – Do not wax in the 4 weeks leading up to your appointment as pigment is required in the hair follicle for the laser to identify the hair and treatment to be effective
Preparation – Avoid direct sunlight and avoid exposing the area to direct sunlight for minimum 2-4 weeks prior to your treatment and always protect the skin with sunscreen.
Post Care – There may be some mild heat and redness in areas that have been treated. Soothe any redness and sensitivity with institut Laser Aid. This can be applied liberally for 3-5 days or until the skin has returned to its pre-treatment state.
Things To Avoid – For 24 hours post-treatment, avoid shaving, waxing, or plucking hair, exfoliation, excessive sweating, swimming or saunas, very hot showers, and tight restrictive clothing. Avoid exposing the area to direct sunlight for minimum 2-4 weeks after your treatment and always use the Age Defence 50+ sunscreen to protect the skin and maintain results.
Skincare – institut Glycolic Scrub 14% is recommended to use 5 days post-treatment to ensure the hair is encouraged to shed from the follicle and aid in the treatment of ingrown hairs.
