Hair Free – Laser Hair Removal Clinic

How does it work?

Most permanent hair removal treatments use either a laser or intense pulsed light (IPL) to disable hair follicles and prevent the growth of hair. At Hairfree, we use specially-designed IPL machines which emit short pulses of light that penetrate the skin and create heat which in turn destroys the hair producing follicle. Over the course of several sessions, as most follicles in the treatment area (eg. underarms) are destroyed, you’re left with only hair free skin. This is the basis of all permanent hair removal treatments, and virtually all areas of the body can be treated.

Is it safe? Does it hurt?

Permanent hair removal is completely safe when done with high quality equipment and experienced, qualified therapists. Because the treatment uses only light (no chemicals, radiation, etc) there’s no damage done your skin, and only hair follicles are affected. Therapists should be experienced and must hold current laser safety certificates to be properly qualified.

Does it hurt? The short answer is yes, except at Hairfree. Generally, all laser and IPL hair removal treatments hurt. It feels something like a rubber band being flicked against your skin. It’s not pleasant, especially in more sensitive areas. Hairfree’s IPL treatments, however, are pain free.
