Hair Removal at Wellness Beauty Clinic

Smooth, Confident Skin with Professional Hair Removal

Unwanted hair is completely normal, but if you prefer smoother, hair-free skin, Wellness Beauty Clinic offers professional hair removal treatments designed to suit different needs, skin types and lifestyles.

We offer two popular approaches to hair removal: laser hair removal and professional hot waxing.

While both treatments can leave your skin feeling smoother, they work in very different ways. Laser hair removal is designed to provide long-term reduction in hair growth, while hot waxing removes unwanted hair from the root and provides smooth results without the need for shaving.

Our team can help you understand which option is most suitable for you and the results you would like to achieve.

Laser Hair Removal

​

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal uses concentrated pulses of light to target the pigment in the hair.

The light energy is absorbed by the hair and converted into heat. This heat travels down the hair towards the follicle, where it helps to damage the follicle's ability to produce new hair.

Because hair grows in different stages, not every hair is actively growing at the same time. Laser treatment is therefore carried out as a course of treatments, with appointments spaced apart to target hairs during their active growth phase.

Over a course of treatments, many clients experience a significant reduction in the amount of hair that grows, as well as hair becoming finer and less noticeable.

​

Why Do You Need More Than One Treatment?

Hair growth happens in cycles.

At any one time, some hairs are actively growing while others are resting. Laser hair removal is most effective when the hair is in the appropriate active growth stage.

This is why a series of treatments is normally recommended rather than a single appointment.

Your practitioner will assess the area being treated and advise you on an appropriate treatment schedule.

​

What Happens During a Laser Hair Removal Treatment?

Your appointment begins with an assessment and discussion of the area you would like treated.

The treatment area is prepared and the laser is applied to the skin using controlled pulses of light.

You may feel a sensation of warmth, snapping or a small elastic-band-like flick as the laser pulses are delivered. Sensation varies depending on the individual, the treatment area and other factors.

Your practitioner will work with you to make the treatment as comfortable as possible while following the appropriate treatment protocol.

After your treatment, the skin may appear slightly red or feel warm for a short period. This is a normal response for many clients and generally settles relatively quickly.

​

Which Areas Can Be Treated?

Laser hair removal can be used on many areas of the body, including:

• Face

• Upper lip

• Chin

• Neck

• Underarms

• Arms

• Legs

• Bikini area

• Brazilian area

• Back

• Chest

• Abdomen

The areas available and suitability of treatment will depend on your individual circumstances.

​

What Results Can I Expect?

Laser hair removal is designed to provide long-term hair reduction, rather than guaranteeing that every hair will permanently disappear.

Many clients notice that hair becomes:

• Less dense

• Finer

• Slower growing

• Less noticeable

The number of treatments required varies from person to person. Factors such as hair colour, hair thickness, skin type, treatment area, hormones and individual hair-growth patterns can all influence results.

Some clients may also benefit from occasional maintenance treatments after completing their initial course.

​

Preparing for Laser Hair Removal

Following the correct preparation advice can help your treatment run smoothly.

Generally, you should avoid waxing, threading or plucking the hairs before a laser treatment because the follicle needs to remain present for the laser to target it.

Shaving is usually preferred before treatment because it leaves the hair root in place while reducing the amount of hair above the skin.

Your practitioner will provide you with specific preparation instructions based on the treatment area and your individual circumstances.

You should also tell your practitioner about any relevant medications, skincare products, recent tanning or changes to your skin before treatment.

Hot Wax Hair Removal

​

How Does Hot Waxing Work?

Hot waxing is a popular method of removing unwanted hair directly from the root.

During a hot wax treatment, specially formulated wax is warmed to an appropriate temperature and applied to the skin. The wax surrounds the hair and, once set sufficiently, is removed with a controlled movement.

Unlike shaving, which cuts the hair at the surface of the skin, waxing removes the hair from the root.

This means you can enjoy smooth skin without having to shave every day.

​

What Happens During a Hot Wax Treatment?

Your therapist will prepare the skin and apply the warm wax to the treatment area.

The wax is applied in manageable sections and removed once it has sufficiently set around the hairs.

The process is relatively quick, although the exact treatment time depends on the area being treated.

Afterwards, your skin may appear slightly pink or feel sensitive for a short period. Your therapist can advise you on suitable aftercare to help keep the skin comfortable.

​

How Long Does Hot Waxing Last?

Because waxing removes the hair from the root rather than simply cutting it at the surface, results generally last longer than shaving.

Hair will eventually begin to grow back as a new hair develops from the follicle. How long your results last varies depending on your individual hair-growth cycle.

With regular waxing, many clients find that maintaining their preferred level of smoothness becomes easier to incorporate into their beauty routine.

Your Safety & Comfort Come First

At Wellness Beauty Clinic, we believe professional hair removal should always begin with proper consultation and clear information.

Before treatment, we will discuss the procedure with you and consider factors that may affect your suitability.

For laser treatments in particular, an appropriate consultation and assessment is important before treatment begins.
