Laser Hair Removal offers a modern, non-invasive approach to reducing unwanted hair. Unlike shaving, waxing, or depilatory creams, it avoids skin irritation and delivers a more targeted effect. Using medical-grade laser technology, controlled energy is directed to the hair follicles to disrupt growth while protecting the surrounding skin. This makes it a convenient option for those looking for longer-lasting results with minimal maintenance.

How does Hair Removal Laser work?

The procedure removes unwanted hair by delivering short and controlled bursts of light that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair. That light becomes heat, which selectively damages the hair follicle while leaving the surrounding skin intact. Over the course of several treatments, fewer follicles can regrow hair. This results in the hair becoming finer, sparser and less noticeable.

The medical-grade laser hair removal delivers precise and long-lasting reduction in unwanted hair with safe and effective results for a wide range of skin types.

Some of the key points are:

The hair removal laser system uses a specialised Nd: YAG laser that operates at a 1064nm wavelength. This wavelength penetrates safely into the skin to reach the hair follicle while minimising absorption by the surrounding tissue.
When the laser light is delivered, the melanin in the hair shaft absorbs the energy, which is then converted into heat. This heat travels down to the follicle bulb, impairing its ability to regrow hair.
The laser’s unique settings allow for customisation that creates a fractional pattern of thermal energy, allowing for precise and uniform coverage. This ensures that both finer and deeper hair follicles can be treated effectively.
To protect the skin and enhance comfort, we utilise contact cooling methods that safeguard the outer layer while the energy works deeper at the follicle level.

It also involves the following steps:

Steps	Descriptions
Preparation of the treatment area	The skin is cleansed and any surface hair is trimmed or shaved to allow the laser to directly target the follicles. Protective eyewear is provided for safety.
Laser targeting	Pulses of laser light are directed onto the treatment area. The pigment in the hair absorbs the energy, converting it into heat.
Follicle disruption	The heat travels down to the root of the hair and destroys the bulb, disabling the follicle’s ability to regrow effectively.
Skin cooling	Specialised contact cooling measures are employed for skin protection and pain reduction.
Gradual hair reduction	Over a series of sessions, hair regrowth slows, becomes finer and eventually results in long-lasting smoothness.

The outcome is progressive and lasting, as the hair becomes sparser and lighter with each treatment, leaving the skin smoother, cleaner and requiring less daily maintenance.

What to expect during your procedure

We know that undergoing any cosmetic procedure can feel a bit uncertain at first. That is why our goal is to make your laser hair removal experience as smooth, comfortable and reassuring as possible.

From preparation to post-treatment, you will be in good hands with clear communication, gentle care and results-focused attention. The procedure involves the following steps:

Steps	Descriptions
Consultation and assessment	We review your medical history, examine hair colour and skin tone and recommend the most suitable laser settings or device for safe, effective treatment.
Preparation	The area is cleansed and, where required, trimmed or shaved so the laser energy reaches the follicle efficiently. Protective eyewear is provided.
Test patch	For first-time treatments or darker skin tones, a small patch may be tested to confirm skin response and comfort.
Laser delivery	The practitioner moves the laser handpiece over the skin in measured passes. As each pulse of energy gets absorbed by the hair follicle, the patient will feel warm pulsations and generally experience a burning smell. Most treated hairs fall off within a week or two.
Cooling and soothing	After the session, we apply cooling and a gentle calming product to minimise redness or warmth. You will receive clear aftercare advice to protect treated skin.
Follow-up scheduling	Treatments are spaced according to your hair growth cycle. We plan to repeat sessions to catch follicles as they enter the growth phase, building up progressive and lasting reduction.

What results can you expect?

Laser hair removal works gradually, with improvements becoming more visible after each session. Because hair grows in cycles, follicles need to be treated during their active growth phase (anagen phase) for optimal results. This is why a series of sessions is recommended.

After the first few sessions

You may notice that hair in the treated area grows back more slowly.
Regrowth often appears finer, softer and lighter in colour.
The skin may feel smoother as stubble and roughness are reduced.

Midway through treatment (after 3 to 5 sessions)

A significant decrease in the density of hair becomes noticeable.
Areas like underarms or legs may feel consistently smoother between sessions.
Ingrown hairs and irritation from shaving or waxing are usually reduced.

At the end of a full course (6 to 10 sessions)

Most patients achieve long-lasting reduction, with many follicles unable to regrow.
Treated skin looks clearer and feels more comfortable without constant upkeep.
Hair that does return is typically finer and much less visible.

Maintenance and longevity

Results are long-lasting, though some patients benefit from occasional touch-up sessions every 6 to 12 months, especially in hormonally sensitive areas such as the face or bikini line.
Individual results vary depending on skin type, hair colour, hair thickness and hormonal influences.

Overall, you can expect smoother skin, reduced regrowth and a noticeable difference in both comfort and confidence as daily hair removal routines become a thing of the past.

Post-treatment care for Laser Hair Removal

Caring for your skin after laser hair removal is essential to protect the treated area and achieve the best possible results. The skin may be slightly sensitive immediately after the procedure, so a gentle routine will help reduce irritation and encourage a smoother recovery. You will usually be advised to follow these simple steps:

Protect from heat and sun – Avoid hot showers, saunas and direct sunlight for at least 24 to 48 hours. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily, especially on exposed areas, to lower the risk of pigmentation.
Soothe and hydrate – Keep the skin well-moisturised with gentle, fragrance-free creams or gels. Aloe vera or calming formulations can help relieve any temporary redness or warmth.
Skip harsh products – Hold off exfoliants, retinoids or strong acids for a few days. These can irritate freshly treated skin and slow the recovery process.
Be mindful of regrowth – Some treated hairs may shed naturally in the days following your session. Avoid waxing, tweezing or threading between treatments, as these can disrupt the follicle. Shaving is usually the safest option if needed.
Stay on track with sessions – Consistency is key. Attending your scheduled treatments ensures more follicles are targeted during their growth phase, giving you better long-term results.

Lasting results from laser hair removal depend on consistent sessions and simple post-care to keep skin smooth and healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is laser hair removal painful?

Generally, discomfort is mild. Most people describe it as warm, tingling or the snap of a light rubber band. We will always adjust the settings for your comfort.

How long do I need to wait between sessions?

Sessions are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area and your hair growth cycle.

Is laser hair removal safe for all skin types?

Yes, the procedure is suitable for many skin tones. Our specialists will assess beforehand to ensure safety and efficacy.

How many sessions do I need for permanent hair reduction?

Most patients require 6 to 10 sessions for a significant, long-lasting reduction. Occasional maintenance treatments may be needed, particularly for hormonal areas like the face or bikini line.

Can laser hair removal be done on the face?

Yes, areas such as the upper lip, chin and jawline respond well to laser hair removal. Settings are adjusted carefully to ensure safety on delicate facial skin.

Does laser hair removal work on all hair colours?

Laser hair removal works best on dark, coarse hair because the laser targets pigment. Lighter hair, such as blonde, red or grey, may not respond as effectively.

Is there downtime after laser hair removal?

There is no downtime. Mild redness or sensitivity may occur but usually subsides within a few hours, allowing you to return to your normal routine immediately.

How much does laser hair removal cost in Singapore?

Pricing depends on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions needed. Smaller areas, such as the upper lip, cost less, while larger areas like the legs or back may cost more. A consultation will provide a personalised quote based on your goals.

Is laser hair removal safe during pregnancy?

Laser hair removal is generally not recommended during pregnancy due to hormonal changes and a lack of research on safety during this period. Treatments can be resumed after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

What is the difference between IPL and laser hair removal?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) uses broad-spectrum light, while laser hair removal uses a single, concentrated wavelength. Lasers are typically more precise, effective and suitable for a wider range of skin tones.
