Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is an incredibly effective and widely accessible hair removal method which can be used on most parts of the human body.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal revolves around the use of light energy – this energy leaves the hair follicles targeted permanently damaged by honing in on the roots under the surface of the skin with a medical-grade laser.
When you’re getting laser hair treatment, it’s important that the follicles are targeted at a specific point in their growth cycle in order to stop the hair growing back. With patches of hair reaching this point in the cycle at different times, you can expect to attend multiple sessions at a hair removal clinic in order to achieve long-lasting results. At Dr D Aesthetics in Singapore, we recommend between six and eight appointments, with four to six weeks in between each for the first few sessions.
Both men and women are able to get laser hair removal, and it’s suitable for people of all skin tones. If you’re considering the treatment for sensitive areas such as your face or bikini line, it’s perfectly safe – in fact, these are two of the most commonly targeted areas, alongside the legs, underarms, back and chest.

With long-lasting results, laser hair removal drastically reduces - if not eliminates - the need to shave or wax, as any hair which does return after treatment will be much finer and therefore less visible.
Benefits
Permanent reduction of hair growth
Visiting a hair removal clinic and opting for the laser can result in a substantial hair reduction. Any hair which does return will be significantly finer and softer.

Say goodbye to in-grown hairs
Once you’ve had laser hair removal, you’ll hardly ever have to turn to waxing or shaving, so in-grown hairs and stubble will become a distant memory.

Save money in the long run
Opting for laser hair removal is an investment – while you will bear the upfront cost, you won’t have to worry about money and time spent shaving or waxing on a regular basis, or on machines which aren’t too effective.

The experience is relatively painless
While you may experience mild discomfort, laser hair removal isn’t particularly painful – and the more sessions you attend, the less noticeable the sensation will feel as the number of follicles reduces each time you return. Skin cooling will be provided.
