What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal utilizes lasers to target and destroy hair follicles. This can be done for any area of the body, but it’s most commonly used on the face, neck, underarms, bikini line, and legs.
Laser hair removal is a popular choice for people who want to permanently get rid of unwanted hair. The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft and converted to heat. This heat destroys the hair follicle and prevents new hair from growing.
At Capital Aesthetics, we use top-of-the-line laser technology to ensure safety and comfort for all our patients.

The Treatment Process
Before your laser hair removal treatment, eye shields will be used to protect your corneas and retinas from harm. The hair that will be treated will be reduced to a few millimeters above the skin surface. A cold gel or a specialized cooling device may be used to preserve the outer layers of your skin. This will also aid in the treatment’s success by making laser light penetrate easier through the skin.
The most common lasers for hair removal utilize a low-energy laser beam that is adjusted to your skin tone and the colour, thickness, and location of the hair to be eliminated. The first step will be to send a test pulse light into the treatment area. A low-energy laser beam will pass through your skin and be absorbed by the pigment in a portion of the active-growth hair follicles, causing them to heat up and die. This region will be continuously examined to ensure that the settings are correct and that you don’t have any adverse reactions.
If the test is successful, the low-energy laser beam is focused spot-by-spot on the target area, instantly and permanently destroying active-growth hair follicles with each treatment.
You may be given an ice pack or anti-inflammatory ointments/lotions to soothe the treated areas and reduce any discomfort afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, laser hair removal is a safe procedure when performed by trained professionals. Our team at Capital Aesthetics prioritizes your safety and uses advanced technology to ensure a safe and effective treatment.
Laser hair removal works by emitting a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the hair pigment. The light energy is converted into heat, destroying the hair follicle to inhibit future hair growth. Multiple sessions are typically needed for optimal results.
The length of time it takes to remove hair using lasers depends on the size of the area being treated. Generally, smaller areas can be treated in under 20 minutes, while larger areas may take up to an hour.
Laser hair removal offers long-lasting results by targeting hair follicles to reduce hair growth. While it can lead to significant hair reduction, it’s important to note that results may vary. Some individuals may experience permanent hair reduction, while others may require occasional touch-up treatments to maintain results. Regardless, laser hair removal offers a more long-term solution than other methods.
This depends on the person’s hair growth patterns. Most people require between four and six sessions to achieve desired results.
This hair removal option may not be ideal for every skin type. Those with darker skin tones are at a higher risk of developing scarring or hyperpigmentation after treatment. We advise you to book a consultation with us to see if laser hair removal is a suitable treatment option for you.
