Laser Hair Removal Myths: Setting the Record Straight

Get in touch with us

    Laser Hair Removal is a popular long-term solution for unwanted hair, but with its popularity, there are many myths and misconceptions. If you’re thinking about trying Laser Hair Removal but are unsure about what’s true and what’s not, you’re not alone. In this blog post, we’ll address the most common Laser Hair Removal Myths and give you the facts.

     

    Myth #1: Laser Hair Removal is only for woman

    Fact:

    Laser Hair Removal is a great solution for both men and women! In fact, more and more men are choosing Laser Hair Removal for areas like the back, chest, and neck. The treatment is effective on a wide variety of body areas Whether you’re looking to reduce unwanted facial hair, tame body hair, or maintain smooth skin, Laser Hair Removal is a versatile treatment that works for all genders.

     

     

    Myth #2: Laser Hair Removal is painful

    Fact:

    A common fear about Laser Hair Removal is that it’s too painful to tolerate. While everyone’s pain threshold is different, most people describe the sensation as similar to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. Additionally, modern laser technology is designed to minimise discomfort. Some lasers even come with cooling devices that help soothe the skin during treatment. Many people find the process much more comfortable than waxing or tweezing.

     

    Myth #3: Laser Hair Removal Only works on lighter skin types

    Fact:

    Advances in laser technology have made it more inclusive. Our experienced clinical therapists use Medical grade Candela GentleLase Pro, GentleMax Pro and GentleYag Pro technology to effectively reduce unwanted hair for light and darker skin types.

     

    Myth #4: You can get Laser Hair Removal when you have fake tan on your skin

    Fact:

    It’s important to avoid applying fake tan or self-tanner before your Laser Hair Removal treatment. While it may seem convenient, the pigment from the tan can interfere with the laser’s ability to target the hair follicles effectively. The laser is attracted to pigment, and when there’s fake tan on your skin, the laser may get absorbed by the pigment in the tan instead of focusing on the hair, which can reduce the treatment’s effectiveness.

     

    Laser Hair Removal Myths

    Myth #5: You can’t shave before a Laser Hair Removal session

    Fact:

    Unlike waxing, which requires you to let the hair grow out, you are encouraged to shave before your Laser Hair Removal session. Shaving helps remove the surface hair, allowing the laser to focus on the hair follicle beneath the skin, where it’s most effective. Make sure not to wax or tweeze before your treatment, as these methods remove the hair from the root, which the laser targets.

     

     

    Myth #6: You are exposed to radiation during Laser Hair Removal Treatment

    Fact:

    Absolutely not! While lasers do use light energy, the radiation is confined to the specific light wavelengths used during treatment and does not pose any risk to the body. The technology is designed to target hair follicles precisely, without affecting surrounding tissues. Laser Hair Removal is a safe, treatment that has been extensively studied and proven to be effective and safe when performed by trained professionals.

     

    Myth #7: Laser Hair Removal is expensive and unaffordable

    Fact:

    While the initial cost might seem higher than other methods, Laser Hair Removal is a long-term investment. Over time, it saves you money compared to ongoing costs for shaving, waxing, or other hair removal treatments. Plus, it provides lasting results, which means fewer maintenance appointments.

     

    With so many myths and misconceptions surrounding Laser Hair Removal, it’s easy to get discouraged. However, the facts show that Laser Hair Removal is a safe, effective, and long-term solution for those looking to eliminate unwanted hair. Say goodbye to the hassle of shaving, waxing, and other temporary hair removal methods—Laser Hair Removal could be the answer to achieving smooth, hair-free skin!

    Laser Hair Removal for Men: Removing misconceptions and more

    Get in touch with us

      Confused about laser hair removal for men or unsure about where/how to begin?

      We’ve got your back (literally).

      With the rise in #manscaping and grooming in the media, there has been a growth in the popularity of Laser Hair Removal for men with up to 85% of Australian men opting for this method.


      What is Laser Hair Removal?

      Using grade 4 medical lasers accredited by Syneron Candela, Laser Hair Removal uses a concentrated laser beam that destroys your hair follicles and over time, reduces hair growth. All without disrupting or damaging the skin’s surface.

      Why is Laser Hair Removal a popular choice?

      Who has time to shave or spend hours at a beauty salon getting waxed?

      Not only do you enjoy the convenience of ditching that razor or performing gymnastics to get to those hard to reach places – the results are long lasting, less painful and your treatments are in monthly intervals. Depending on your hair type, we recommend a minimum of 6 to 10 treatments for optimum results.

      Shaving vs. Laser Hair Removal

      Imagine not having to shave every 3-4 days? So much more room for activities!

      With most men needing to shave or trim every few days to maintain their face or body, Laser Hair Removal is an efficient and effective way of reducing time in the long run as well as preventing after shave rash, redness and ingrowns. You can book a complimentary consultation with a Clinical Therapist to see if Laser Hair Removal is right for  you. Book online here

          Laser Hair Removal – Your Top Questions Answered

          Did you know laser hair removal has proven to be the most effective way to eliminate unwanted hair? Forget about waxing and shaving this treatment doesn’t have any of those annoying and unnecessary side effects.

          In this article we answer all the big questions for you! From booking your laser hair removal consultation to safely achieving the best possible results .


          Do I need a consultation?

          Definitely! Everyone’s skin and hair is different that’s why it’s important our clinical therapists assess your hair during a consultation, and do worry it’s free! During your consultation, it’s also an opportunity for you to discuss any concerns, medications you are taking along with what to expect during the treatment and how to take care of your skin after.

          Will the medication/antibiotics I’m taking effect the treatment?

          It’s important you let your therapist know what medications you are currently taking. The use of Roaccutane and other types of medication that treat eczema, dermatitis and a number of other conditions may prevent treatment on that day. Please seek advice from your doctor first.

          How many treatments do I need?

          Everyone responds differently to the treatment, but to start off with your therapist will recommend 6-10 treatments every 4-6 weeks for optimum results. Usually clients experience an 85-99% reduction after a full course of laser hair removal treatments. Hormonal areas may require maintenance sessions.

          Grooming with Laser Hair Removal

          Get in touch with us

            Grooming with Laser Hair Removal is available!

            Although beards have become a hipster fad, male hair removal is on the rise, but how far should a man go with his manscaping?


            Are hairless legs just for athletes, should a man trim or go bare down there? Should he wax or get Laser Hair Removal and be-rid all unwanted hair permanently? But most of all, if a man removes his hair from his body will he still be considered a man? YES! Think Vin Diesel or Channing Tatum.  Women want them and men want to be them.

            At Results Laser Clinic we understand the concerns for men and their unwanted hair and as one of Australia’s most trusted skin and laser clinic, your priorities are in the right hands, when you step foot in one of our clinics.

            We cater for all men, with different skin tones, and will help personalise your hair removal treatment plan to best suit your priorities, wants and needs, producing optimal results.  We only use non invasive medical graded laser technology that emits light absorbed by the colour in your hair follicles.  The laser travels under your skin to the root of the hair, disabling your hair regrowth but does not damage your skin, resulting in hair free areas from as little as 6-10 treatments.

            Grooming with Laser Hair Removal Fact :

            Now with more than 30% of our clients being men, we are definitely seeing a rise in male clients who are grooming with Laser Hair Removal.  In fact up to 85% of Australian men are opting for permanent hair removal with full support of their loved ones, not only for their back, chest or midbrow, but now for their cheeks and male Brazilians!  To be hair free, smooth and sexy is now the trend!  After all, we are in the 21st Century.

            So when it comes to male grooming, here are our do’s and don’ts to help you make an informed decision for your hair removal treatments with us.

            Here’s what we believe men shouldn’t do:

            • Use at home waxes and sprays that can result in an unwanted rash and possible reactions
            • Don’t be silly and do a rushed cheap home job, do it right and feel right.
            • Don’t attempt to pluck your own eyebrows and mid brow.
            • Only shave your chest if it’s part of your prep for Laser Hair Removal.  Don’t just shave it to just remove your hair.  This will leave you will potential irritation that you won’t want!

The light generates heat that travels down the hair shaft to the hair follicle under the skin, permanently disabling its ability to regrow and leaving you one step closer to be hair free in all the right places.
