What is Dermaplaning?What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a form of permanent reduction of hair growth. The primary principle behind laser hair removal is selective photothermolysis, where the laser light energy heats the target, which is the dark pigment of the hair called melanin.
The laser will only target the melanin, which absorbs the light energy, eventually heating the hair follicle and causing enough damage to slow or prevent regrowth.
Since the laser light is absorbed by dark material in the hair, it will only cause damage to the hair follicle but not the surrounding tissues.
This is why laser hair removal only works on darker hairs, not blonde or white hair, as there is not much melanin for the laser light to absorb.
It is also essential to understand the hair growth cycle process, as laser only permanently disables hairs in the anagen phase.
How Does The Procedure Work?
The laser fires a beam of light to the skin absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle. The hair follicle temperature is heated enough to destroy the hair follicle, preventing it from growing back.
The target timing for laser treatment is at the anagen hair growth phase for successful reduction of hair.
To completely understand how a laser works, there are three stages of hair growth
Who Is A Good Candidate For Laser Treatments?
Laser treatments are suitable for men and women with dark hair, and our laser machines treat all skin types, including darker skin types. Laser hair removal is an excellent option for people who have medical conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or hirsutism. We also have many clients with religious beliefs and cultural traditions and people transitioning to being transgender.
How Permanent Is Laser Hair Removal?
It depends on what area of the body and what type of hair you are treating. If you have very thick, coarse hair, you can see up to 85- 90% reduction in hair growth. Someone with fine hair will only see a reduction of approximately 45- 60%. Remember, treating the face area typically requires more treatments because older females tend to grow new and denser facial hairs with hormonal changes, the natural ageing process or as a side effect of medications
Can Laser Be Performed On The Full Body?
Laser hair removal can be done anywhere on the body and is popular on specific body parts. Both males and females get full body laser hair removal, including the genital areas.

The entire team at CoLaz must hold a Level 4 Certificate in Laser and IPL hair removal treatments or equivalent, which ensure safe practice.
All clients are required to undergo a full consultation and patch test 48 hours before attending their first treatment. The patch test will ensure you are suitable for the laser and determine any skin reactions.
With laser hair removal, there is minimal damage to the skin as the light only targets the melanin in the hair.
What Is The Difference Between IPL Hair Removal & Laser Hair Removal?
IPL stands for Intense Pulse Light. You must understand that IPL’s are not lasers. IPL uses a broad spectrum of wavelengths, like a light bulb. The beam of light is not focused and disperses in different directions; therefore, only a small percentage is effectively absorbed by the hair follicle during treatment, producing minimal hair destruction.
IPL hair removal is only suitable up to skin type 3, and there is a high risk of burns associated with skin types 4-6 as they have more melanin in the skin. The IPL light disperses, which can cause burns on the skin.
A Laser is more effective than IPL as the light emitted from the laser is of one wavelength, which allows for deeper penetration and targets the hair follicle and does not cause damage to surrounding tissues. The laser we use at Colaz is effective on all skin types and hair types.

Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend medical-grade lasers that are suitable for your hair and skin type. There are several lasers on the market, and our laser treats all skin types and hair types.
The number of sessions needed varies from client to client and depends on the area being treated, hair density, coarseness, thickness etc. Usually, if clients do not have any underlying medical issues, then our clients have seen excellent results within 6-12 treatments. If you are treating the face, you will need more treatments as the face is very hormonal.
We recommend you start with a course of 8 treatments. Our trained clinician will be able to recommend the ideal number during your consultation.
Yes, as long as the laser is an Nd-YAG designed to treat darker skins with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. Do not use IPL or Alex lasers as these have a high risk of burns on darker skin.
The procedure will remove at least three weeks of dead skin cells, so your red-carpet glow will last all month long. Since your skin is continually growing, you should schedule an appointment every month to maintain your results.
Redness and irritation – the skin may tingle, have mild swelling or redness due to the treated hair follicles.
Raised bumps – hair follicles treated with a laser may cause slightly raised bumps, but these go down within 48-72 hours.
Unfortunately, we cannot treat where the tattoo is as this will damage the skin tissues, such as severe burns and blistering due to the pigment present in the tattoo. Remember laser targets the colour of the hair follicle, and tattoos are very rich in colour. If you have a tattoo on the treatment area, our clinicians will mark it out and work around it, leaving a 2-inch gap to avoid any possible complications.
Over the long term, laser hair removal is worth it. You may need a few treatments to get the desired results, but you will be able to avoid waxing, tweezing or shaving for years and only have minimal regrowth of hairs on areas that are treated with laser.
That all depends on which part of the body you laser. For, e.g., the chest and back will take about an hour for each session, while the face might only require 15 minutes.
The simple answer is Yes. We have many clients with laser hair removal in the pubic area. Our team of professionals use a medical grade laser on all skin types to ensure that we are getting rid of hairs for good, without any side effects
Crusting – some clients may experience crusting in the treated area. This can occur if the hair is very thick and coarse but resolves typically within 10 days. The important thing to remember is not to pick the area as this can lead to scarring.
Pigment changes (changes in skin colour) – This occurs if you fail to ensure your skin is clean on the day of the treatment meaning no oil products or creams. If you have been away on holiday and have a tan, you must inform your clinician as treatment cannot be carried out due to darker skin, leading to possible hypo/hyperpigmentation. Usually, skin colour changes are temporary, and eventually, the skin returns to normal.
Folliculitis infections – are rare but can occur if you have a history of irritant folliculitis secondary to shaving. We advise all clients to shave two days before treatment with a clean razor. Dirty old razors can trigger folliculitis infections. You must notify your clinician of any skin irritation before laser hair removal, as we will require your skin to settle or undergo antibiotic treatment.
Burns or blistering – this is very rare but can occur. Therefore it is essential to undergo treatment by a qualified clinician.
