How often do I need to get Laser Hair Removal?

Depending on the hair, skin type, and body area being treated, you will require treatments at 4-6 weeks intervals. For the facial area, treatments can be done at 4 week intervals. Each part of the facial and body area has a different growing cycle, so hair reduction will vary depending on what stage your follicles are in at the time of the treatment.

After each treatment hair is reduced hence it is important to complete the course of 6 treatments and at consistent intervals for best results. We recommend a series of 6 treatments and maintenance treatments if needed

Does Laser Hair Removal hurt?

One of the benefits of Laser Hair Removal is that the treatment is virtually painless, especially compared to waxing. Each pulse lasts less than a second, producing a slight tingling feeling. In particularly sensitive areas, such as the upper lip, it may feel like a rubber band snap on the skin. We use an advanced cooling machine in conjunction with our laser device to reduce the heat sensation on the skin and minimize any discomfort. Popular hair removal procedures such as waxing and electrolysis can be pretty painful. Thanks to the laser we use, your skin is kept cool during your treatment, and the constant in-motion technique your technician uses ensures your session will be virtually painless. Most clients describe a slight "prickly" sensation and mild heating.

Do you offer numbing for laser hair removal?

Unfortunately, topical numbing creams are not safe nor effective when doing Laser Hair Removal. The sensation you feel in treatment is not felt on the skin, but in the follicle of the hair. Unfortunately numbing cream cannot penetrate deep enough to minimise discomfort that may be felt at the follicle. Please ensure that no occlusive creams are present on the treatment areas when undergoing laser hair removal treatments.

I have ingrown hairs. Would laser hair removal help?

Absolutely. After just one treatment, most of the ingrown hairs will be gone. Within a few weeks, the area will become smooth, and your skin will return to its original colour. Reduce ingrown hairs with Laser Hair Removal. It works by directing concentrated light to target the hair follicle at the root. The laser inhibits the hair’s ability to grow without disrupting or damaging the skin’s surface, so even the most sensitive skin can be treated.

Can I have laser hair removal if I have dark skin tone?

Because we use the most advanced medical-grade technology for our laser hair removal treatments, we can treat all skin tones. Our laser technicians use the Fitzpatrick Classification Scale to determine your skin type at the consultation, allowing for the most suitable setting to be selected for your hair removal treatment. Your laser technician will assess your skin at each consultation and treat you using the most appropriate settings for your skin type and recent results. Your settings will change throughout the course of your laser hair removal treatments to ensure optimal results.

How many sessions will I need?

Because laser light only affects hair follicles in the active stage of growth, several treatments are needed. The actual number of treatments depends on the body area, hair colour, the type of hair (coarse or thin), and the rate of hair regrowth. On average, you will require around 5-7 treatments. Individuals who have lighter skin and darker hair generally need fewer treatments. People with lighter hair or darker skin usually require more.

Is Laser hair removal expensive?

At Deco De Mode, we invest in advanced laser technology because we believe in delivering real, long-term results. To make laser hair removal even more accessible, we offer flexible payment plans on our laser packages — simply pay 50% upfront and the remaining balance at your second appointment.
