Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a fast and effective way of treating unwanted facial or body hair.
Laser hair removal works by utilising photothermal energy (light and heat) that specifically targets the melanin in the hair. For laser hair removal to be effective, the presence of melanin in the hair is essential. Therefore, individuals that have blonde, red, white or grey hair often experience less effective results due to the insufficient melanin.
Starting from 15 minutes, depending on the area/areas that are being treated.
* Consultation: $55.00 (Redeemable upon first treatment)
* Price: Dependent on the area being treated. For more information please contact the clinic on (03) 5221 9920.

FAQs On Laser Hair Removal
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal works by focusing a specific wavelength of light onto the skin. This light is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair and is converted to heat. This heat damages the hair follicle preventing future hair to grow.
Treatment works by disabling hairs in their active growth hair stage at that specific time. Given that other hairs may enter their growth phase at different times, a number of treatment sessions may be necessary to disable all the hair follicles in a target area. Periodic ‘touch-up’ treatment sessions can serve to keep away any unwanted hair.
When it comes to laser hair removal, the laser is only attracted to darker pigment found in the hair. This is why laser hair removal tends to be unsuccessful when treating lighter coloured hair such as; blonde, red, white or grey hair.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
No, we strongly advise our clients that laser hair removal is a permanent reduction in hair not removal.
There are many factors that can influence and stimulate hair growth such as; age, medical history, hormones, illness and disease and more. Therefore we are unable to categorise hair removal as permanent. However, if clients follow the recommended treatment plan guide, majority notice a reduction in hair between 80 to 90% leaving the remaining hair that’s left very fine and sporadic.
Between three and six treatments are typically required for a significant reduction in hair growth.
Does It Work On All Types of Skin & Hair?
Laser hair removal is effective across all skin types but is particularly successful for individuals with dark hair and light skin. The procedure relies on the pigment in the hair to absorb the laser’s light; therefore, darker hair absorbs the energy more efficiently, resulting in better outcomes. This is why hair that is blonde, red, white or grey in colour tends to be not as successful due to the lack of pigment in the hair.
At CRC, we use lasers that have both the Nd:YAG 1064nm and Alexandrite 755nm wavelength so that we are able to effectively and safely treat all varying skin tones.
Where Can You Get Laser Hair Removal?
Any area on the face or body (except eyebrows) where the hair is dark in colour.
