Fraxel Laser Treatment in Melbourne

Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal is a treatment designed to reduce unwanted body hair by targeting the pigment (melanin) within the hair. The laser emits light energy that is absorbed by the hair, which is then converting to heat. This process may assist in damaging the hair follicle and reducing hair growth over time, without affecting the skin’s surface.

Laser hair removal generally works best on darker, thicker hairs. Very light, fine hairs may respond less effectively. Treatments can be performed on most areas of the body including the arms, legs, underarms, bikini area and face. Treatments are suitable for both males and females.

Laser hair removal is a hair-reduction treatment, not a guaranteed permanent hair removal solution. Results vary between individuals.

Is Laser Hair Removal Right for Me?

Laser hair removal may be suitable for individuals who:
• Want to reduce unwanted hair and minimise shaving or waxing
• Experience irritation or ingrown hairs from other hair-removal methods
• Prefer a low-maintenance, long-term hair-reduction option
• Have hair with enough pigment to respond to laser energy

A consultation with one of our clinicians is required to assess your hair type, skin type, and overall suitability, and to tailor treatment settings for safe practise.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal may assist with:
• Long-term reduction of unwanted hair
• Smoother skin with less frequent shaving or waxing
• Reducing the appearance of ingrown hairs
• Treating specific areas with precision
• Providing a convenient, low-maintenance approach to hair management

Individual outcomes vary depending on skin type, hair colour, hormonal factors and consistency of treatments.

What Does the Treatment Involve?

Consultation & Assessment – Your clinician will assess your skin and hair and create a tailored treatment plan

Preparation – The treatment area is cleansed and prepared; protective eyewear is provided.

Laser Treatment – The laser is applied in controlled pulses to the targeted area Sensations may feel warm with a mild snapping feeling

Post-Treatment Care – Cooling may be applied, and aftercare instructions will be provided

What Results Can I Expect?

Immediately after treatment, temporary redness, mild swelling or sensitivity may occur in the treated area. These effects typically settle within 24–48 hours.

Treated hairs usually shed over the following weeks. Because hair grows in cycles and only a percentage of hairs are in the active growth phase at one time, multiple treatments are usually required to achieve noticeable hair reduction.

Results vary between individuals and depending on hair thickness, colour, skin type and hormonal influences.

Treatment Intervals

Treatment frequency and number of sessions depend on the area treated, as well as your hair type and skin type.

Many individuals require a series of treatments, commonly around 4–12 sessions, spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart. A personalised treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation, and treatment setting may be adjusted based on how your hair responds.
