How many hair reduction sessions will I need?

Between 6 and 10 sessions is generally recommended for full effect. Laser hair removal is most effective during the anagen phase (active growth), which varies depending on the area being treated.

Do I need a consultation appointment before treatment?

Yes. Please book a consultation so we can discuss the best course of treatment for you.

How long should I wait between treatments?

For face We recommend 4 weeks between treatments. For upper body We recommend 5-6 weeks between treatments. For lower body We recommend 6-8 weeks between treatments.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR FOR TREATMENT?

For body treatments For laser hair reduction, it's best to wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing that won't rub against the treated area. This helps prevent irritation and allows for easy access to the treatment area. If you're having a Bikini area treatment, consider wearing loose, breathable underwear, like cotton.

Should I shave before a laser treatment?

Yes – by shaving the treatment area beforehand, you provide the laser technician with a clean canvas for precise targeting. This is particularly crucial for areas with varying hair lengths, ensuring that the laser can effectively reach the hair follicles without interference from longer hairs. Do not wax or tweeze because the laser targets the pigment in the hair. If no hair is present due to plucking, the laser treatment will not be effective. You’ll end up growing the waxed hair in the treatment area after a few days. Schedule your laser hair removal appointment at least four weeks after your last waxing or tweezing session.

Why are there male and female treatments?

Men generally have thicker, denser hair growth, requiring more laser energy or stronger depilatory creams to achieve the same results as women.

Will I need ongoing maintenance treatments?

Consistency is key – this allows us to target the hair at the most effective stage of growth. A top-up session may be needed once or twice a year.

What happens during the treatment?

When you enter Aurah for hair reduction treatment, please expect the following steps: Preparation Before the actual procedure, our specialist will check your skin. We will also adjust the laser setting of our equipment to match your skin and hair type. Cleaning Next, your therapist will clean the area and give it a quick shave if necessary. We will also ask you to wear protective eyewear to shield your eyes against the laser beams. Laser application Once everything is all set, we will start applying the laser to the treatment area. You should expect a snapping sensation, which is somewhat similar to a rubber band being snapped on your skin. Cooling After each laser pulse, we cool your skin using an ice-cooled diode. This helps reduce the swelling and redness after the procedure. After the treatment, you can be given an anti-inflammatory cream, lotion, or ice pack to reduce discomfort. Take note that mild side effects like swelling, redness, and tenderness in the treated area are expected. This will subside after a day or two with proper aftercare.

Understanding Laser Hair Reduction

Laser hair reduction is a highly effective method for permanently reducing unwanted body and facial hair. By focusing concentrated beams of light on hair follicles, the process disables future hair growth while ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding skin.

Benefits of Choosing Aurah for Spring and Summer

As spring and summer approach, the benefits of choosing laser hair reduction at Aurah Wellbeing become even more pronounced:

Permanent Hair Reduction

By starting treatment now, clients can achieve long-lasting results in time for summer, ensuring smooth skin for beach outings and outdoor activities.

Confidence Boost for Warm Weather

With warmer months comes lighter clothing and swimwear. Laser hair reduction gives clients the confidence to wear what they love without worrying about unwanted hair.

Time-Saving Solution

With impending summer holiday plans, laser hair reduction alleviates the need for frequent shaving or waxing, allowing clients to enjoy their time without the hassle of regular hair removal.

Better Skin Health

Unlike traditional hair removal methods that can cause irritation or ingrown hairs, laser hair reduction promotes healthier skin, making it especially beneficial before the summer sun exposes it more frequently.

Customised Plans for Seasonal Preparation

At Aurah, we create tailored treatment plans that consider the number of sessions and timing so you're ready and radiant for the summer.

Why start HAIR REDUCTION treatments now?

Long-term readiness

A typical course of treatment is usually six to ten sessions, so starting in late winter or early spring gives most clients the best chance of enjoying smooth, low-maintenance skin by summer.

Confidence for warmer-weather dressing

Reduced stubble, fewer ingrown hairs and less need for weekly shaving or waxing make swimwear, short sleeves and lighter clothing easier to wear. (Aurah emphasises the time-saving and skin-health benefits of laser versus traditional hair removal.)

Fewer skin issues before sun exposure

Laser targets follicles beneath the skin and, when performed properly and followed up, helps prevent the irritation and ingrown hairs commonly caused by waxing and shaving. This means healthier-looking skin when it’s exposed to the sun and summer activities.

Practical timing and pre-treatment advice

Session intervals

Aurah recommends laser hair reduction appointments spaced around 4 weeks apart for the face; 5–6 weeks for the upper body; and 6–8 weeks for the lower body — a schedule that aligns treatments with hair growth cycles for best results.

Shaving, waxing and plucking

Clients should shave before treatment, but avoid waxing or tweezing for at least 4 weeks beforehand, as the laser needs hair in the follicle to target it effectively.

Maintenance

A top-up session once or twice a year may be recommended to maintain results.
