LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Smooth, long-lasting results—without irritation or regrowth stress

Tired of constantly shaving, waxing or managing ingrown hairs? Laser hair removal is a more innovative, longer-term solution, giving you smoother, clearer skin without the hassle.

At About Face Brisbane (North Lakes), we use high-performance, cutting-edge laser technology that’s designed to deliver more effective results with fewer sessions. We are experienced in treating all skin and hair types, ensuring safer, more precise results that go beyond what you’ll find at many other clinics. All treatments are performed by qualified laser technicians using advanced medical-grade equipment in a regulated clinical setting so that you can feel confident in both your results and your safety.

Why choose laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal works by delivering focused light energy into the hair follicle, destroying it at the root and preventing regrowth. It’s a fast, non-invasive way to reduce unwanted hair with long-term results—no razors, no waxing, and no stubble in sight.

Our approach is tailored to:

  • Minimise discomfort with skin-safe, precision-targeted technology
  • Treat a wide range of hair colours and skin tones
  • Reduce hair density and growth over a course of sessions
  • Help prevent ingrown hairs and irritation caused by traditional methods

How many treatments will I need?

Laser hair removal is most effective when performed as a series. We typically recommend 6–10 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on your hair growth cycle, the treatment area, and your skin’s response. Most clients notice visible thinning and a slowdown in hair regrowth within just a few sessions.

Your technician will assess your skin and hair type during your consultation and explain exactly what to expect so that you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal dramatically reduces hair growth by safely destroying active (i.e. growing) hair at its roots. This popular hair removal method can achieve up to 95% permanent results and is the longest-lasting hair removal treatment available. In many cases, people see a large reduction in the amount of hair regrowth after just one session.

How Does It Work?

A concentrated beam of laser light is aimed at the hair. The light is absorbed by the hair pigment in the hair and travels down the hair shaft and destroys the hair follicle and the bulb enough to retard future growth.

About Face Brisbane offers hair removal treatments using a variety of advanced laser technologies to achieve an optimal result. We are able to remove hair that does not respond to the cheaper IPL hair removal systems.

What Type Of Lasers Are Used?

We use the Lumenis LightSheer Diode for the majority of hair removal. This laser is safe for all skin types and can treat large areas of the body fast and effectively.

Our Medlite Q Switch and Fotona Dynamis ND:YAG can safely treat darker skins and complex hormonal hair conditions.

Are Your Staff Qualified?

Yes, all our laser technicians are qualified through QLD Health Radiation.

How Many Sessions Of Laser Hair Removal Will I Need?

To achieve the best results, around eight to ten laser hair removal sessions are recommended. This is because not all hairs will be in the active growing phase at any one time, and laser hair removal only destroys actively growing hair follicles.

Is Laser Hair Removal At About Face Brisbane Safe?

Yes, it’s completely safe for all areas of the body, even the groin. The laser’s energy selectively targets and disrupts hair follicles only, and leaves the skin completely unaffected. The laser beam (of 800 nanomentres) penetrates the skin only. It can’t reach internal organs

Does About Face Brisbane Use IPL For Hair Removal?

No, because Intense Pulse Light (IPL) is less effective than our LightSheer DUET machine. The LightSheer DUET includes two optimal wavelength of 800 nm diode hair removal handles on one versatile platform. This is a genuine, medical-grade, FDA approved laser.

What Do I Need To Do Before My Treatment?

  • It is important to avoid sun exposure for at least 3 weeks prior to laser treatment
  • If you have a spray tan this needs to be completely gone before your treatment
  • You need to wait four weeks after waxing before you can have a laser hair removal treatment
  • It is important to shave the area to be treated the night before or on the day of your treatment

Can I Have Laser Hair Removal If I Am Pregnant?

Scientists can’t be sure if laser hair removal affects unborn babies or not (as there is not enough evidence to reach a conclusion), so it’s best to be cautious and not have laser hair removal performed if you are pregnant.
