Laser hair removal in Hervey Bay

Medical-grade laser hair removal targets pigment within suitable hair follicles to reduce unwanted hair over a planned series of treatments. Hervey Bay Skin assesses skin type, hair colour and treatment area before recommending a program.

How does laser hair removal work?

The GentleMax Pro combines Alexandrite and Nd:YAG laser wavelengths, allowing qualified operators to select an approach for a range of suitable skin types. Laser energy is directed toward pigment in the hair follicle. Because hairs grow in cycles, repeated sessions are usually required to treat follicles during an active growth phase.

What a consultation covers

Your consultation considers the area, hair colour and thickness, skin type, recent sun exposure, medications and previous hair-removal methods. You will receive preparation instructions, an estimated treatment schedule and aftercare advice before proceeding.
