Laser Tips

Laser Process

Step 0 - Patch Test

A laser patch test is a small area treated with the laser and should be done at least 48 hours before your scheduled appointment.

This quick procedure helps us identify any potential skin reactions to the laser treatment, ensuring your safety and comfort during the full session.

If you have regular laser hair removal with TopOne, new patch tests are only needed if it's been at least 6 months since your last treatment or your health/medications have changed.

Step 1 - Prepare for Treatment

IMPORTANT: 24 hours before your appointment, please shave the area to be treated—this helps the laser target the hair follicle under the skin rather than the hair above it. (Speak to the therapist for more info regarding other stuff)

On the day of the treatment, arrive with clean skin—free from lotions, deodorants, perfumes or self-tan on the area.

Adjusting the settings based on your skin type, hair colour, thickness and how far you are into the treatment plan.

Step 2 - Applying Gel

During treatment, you'll wear protective eyewear while we work section by section across the area.

A cool, clear gel is evenly applied to the skin to help the laser glide smoothly and protect the skin's surface.

Step 3 - Laser Treatment

The laser emits concentrated light pulses that target the hair follicles, heating them to inhibit future growth.

You will feel a warm sensation pulsing on the affected area, its very quick and most clients find it comfortable and some fall asleep.

It does NOT feel painful at all but if you have any discomfort, please let us know and we can adjust the settings accordingly.

Step 4 - Clean & Finish

After the laser treatment, the gel is gently wiped away by the therapist, and a soothing lotion or aloe vera gel is applied to calm the skin.

Summary

About Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal at TopOne is a consultation-led treatment designed to be safe, comfortable and effective over a course of sessions. Settings are tailored to your skin type, hair and treatment area for consistent results.

Dark hair or light hair?

Laser hair removal works best on hair with pigment, as the laser targets colour in the hair follicle. Very light, red or grey hair may respond differently, which we’ll discuss honestly during your consultation and patch test.

Not painful (and designed for safety)

Most clients describe the sensation as brief warmth or a light “snap” rather than pain. The laser treats the follicle while protecting surrounding skin, and settings are adjusted for comfort throughout.

How does the laser reduce hair growth?

Laser weakens the hair follicle over time, reducing regrowth rather than stopping it instantly. Multiple sessions are needed to treat hairs at different growth stages, leading to visible reduction and finer regrowth.

Preparation and aftercare matter

Shave before treatment so the follicle remains intact for the laser to target. Arrive with clean skin and follow aftercare guidance provided to keep the area calm and comfortable.

How many sessions will I need?

Most clients require a course of 6–8+ sessions for long-term reduction, spaced every 4–6 weeks depending on the area. Your plan is tailored to your goals and progress.

Laser Hair Removal FAQ

Do I need to shave before laser hair removal?

Yes—please shave the treatment area 24 hours before your session. This helps the laser focus on the follicle under the skin rather than the hair above it.

Can I get laser if I’m pregnant?

We don’t perform laser treatments on pregnant clients. Your safety is our priority, and we’ll be happy to book your sessions once your pregnancy is over.

What areas can be treated?

Most body and face areas can be treated, including legs, underarms, bikini, arms, back, face and more. We’ll assess everything during your consultation.

How soon will I see results?

Many people start seeing reduction after 2–3 sessions, but full results typically require 6–8+ treatments over a few months due to hair growth cycles.

Is laser suitable for all skin types?

Modern laser technology can treat a wide range of skin types. During your patch test, we’ll confirm the safest and most effective settings for your skin tone.

Laser gives long-term hair reduction, not guaranteed permanent removal, and results vary with hair colour, skin type and hormones. Every client has a consultation and a patch test at least 48 hours before treatment, and some medical conditions and medicines mean we cannot treat you, so please tell us about your health. Nothing on this page is medical advice.
