Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal doesn’t have to be tedious. We use powerful BroadBand Light to rapidly destroy hair follicles, permanently reducing unwanted hair. For dark skin types, including black skin, we use safe NdYAG laser technology.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a procedure that uses a medical-grade laser to remove unwanted hair by targeting the hair follicles with concentrated beams of light energy. The laser emits a specific wavelength absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle, effectively damaging it to inhibit future hair growth.
Unlike traditional methods such as shaving, waxing, or hair removal creams, laser treatment offers a long-term solution for reducing hair growth. It’s important to note that not all IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) devices are created equal—some can be quite ineffective.
We utilise advanced, medical-grade lasers that provide efficient and effective results, making your experience pleasant and comfortable as we remove unwanted hair.
At Everyderm, our laser therapists are part of a doctor-led medical team, ensuring you receive professional and safe care throughout your treatment.
Technologies for Hair Removal at Everyderm
At Everyderm, we utilise the most advanced technology to provide effective treatment for all skin types and hair colours.
For hair removal, we offer two options:
BroadBand Light (BBL): Ideal for fast and efficient hair removal on the face and body. BBL delivers light energy to heat the hair follicles, leading to permanent hair reduction over a number of sessions.
Long-Pulsed 1064nm NdYAG Laser: This laser is versatile and can be used for hair removal, spider vein removal, and even tightening pores. We use it for black skin and dark skin for hair removal because it bypasses the outermost layer–making it much safer than other laser wavelengths.
Our laser specialists use contact cooling and CryoAir technology during treatments to enhance comfort and minimise any discomfort. We tailor and adjust settings based on your hair type, colour, and thickness to ensure optimal results.
Suitability for Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is suitable for most individuals seeking to remove unwanted hair from various parts of the body, including the face, bikini line, underarms, legs, back, and chest.
It is effective on different hair colours, though darker hair with more pigment tends to respond best. Our treatments are safe for all skin tones, from light skin to darker skin types.
Preparation
To prepare for your laser hair removal session:
- Shave: Do not wax or pluck the hairs in the treatment area; this removes the target for the laser. Avoid hair removal cream as well. Shaving about a day or two before your scheduled treatment is sufficient.
- Avoid sun exposure: Refrain from sunbathing, tanning beds, or using fake tan products for at least six weeks before treatment. Tanned skin increases the risk of side effects.
- Skip certain products: Avoid applying lotions, oils, or deodorants to the treatment area on the day of your appointment.
- Wear loose clothing: This helps prevent irritation to the treated area after the session.
Treatment Steps
Your laser hair removal treatment at Everyderm involves several steps to ensure effectiveness and comfort.
When you visit us, you can expect the following:
Consultation and patch test: We assess your suitability for the procedure and perform a patch test prior to the first treatment to determine the optimal laser settings.
Preparation: The laser specialist cleanses the treatment area of your skin and applies a cooling gel to enhance comfort.
Laser application: Using either the BBL or NdYAG laser machine, the specialist delivers laser or light pulses to the hair follicles. The concentrated beam targets the melanin in the hair follicle, disrupting hair growth.
Cooling: Contact cooling and CryoAir are used during the procedure to minimise discomfort and protect the skin.
Post-treatment care: After the session, aloe gel is applied to soothe your skin around the treated area.
The treatment is fast and efficient, with sessions varying in length depending on the size of the treatment area. For example, the upper lip may take just a few minutes, while full leg treatments require more time.
Side Effects and Aftercare
After your treatment, you may notice slight redness or pinkness, which is normal and usually fades within a few hours.
To prevent irritation, avoid heat exposure such as hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, or strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours. Protect the treated areas by applying sunscreen with a high SPF when exposed to sunlight.
Between sessions, avoid hair removal methods like waxing, plucking, or using a hair removal cream; shaving is acceptable if necessary. Keep your skin hydrated by using gentle moisturisers.
Following these guidelines will help ensure your skin remains comfortable and the treatment is effective.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a mild snapping feeling against the skin, similar to a rubber band. The use of contact cooling and CryoAir during the treatment significantly reduces discomfort. Our laser specialists strive to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Our BBL technology is fast, so even large areas are treated in a few minutes.
How much does laser hair removal cost?
The cost of laser hair removal varies depending on the treatment area and the technology used. We offer pricing and packages for multiple sessions. Please contact us for detailed information on treatment costs tailored to your needs. Remember, the long-term cost of being treated by inferior or cheap IPLs can be great, even if the monetary cost seems cheap!
Does the procedure offer permanent hair removal?
Laser hair removal leads to permanent hair reduction by targeting hair follicles during their growth cycles. Several sessions are required to achieve optimal results because hair grows in different cycles. While it may not remove 100% of hair, most patients experience a significant reduction, resulting in smoother skin and less need for traditional hair removal methods.
