Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is an easy, low-maintenance cosmetic method for removing unwanted hair on an ongoing basis. The laser projects a highly concentrated beam of light into your hair follicles, and as the pigment in your hair follicles absorb the light, the hair is destroyed. Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic treatments New Zealand.
We use the latest model of Gentle MAX PRO by SYNERON-CANDELA USA Highest Grade Medical Laser in the World.

How does Laser Hair Removal work?
The laser treatment works by gradually heating the dermis to a temperature that effectively targets the hair follicles and prevents re-growth, using a series of short pulses.
We use the classic 755 nm ALEXANDRITE wavelength which has high melanin absorption characteristics and proven long-term results for pigmented lesion removal and hair reduction, permanently reducing hair by an average of 79% after just three treatments AND The 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength is the best wavelength for permanent hair reduction on darker skin types and tanned skin, and is the wavelength of choice for treating facial and leg veins, which are the most common form of vascular lesions.
Laser treatment procedure is carried out while safely avoiding injury to the surrounding tissue, resulting in virtually no pain to the patient.
No matter what your skin tone or hair strength, we can provide a safe, consistently reliable, and pain-free solution at The New Face Laser and Cosmetic Clinic. Laser hair reduction may work for you to help confront unwanted hair and say goodbye to wax and razors forever!

PREPARATION
Ensure you shave the area to be treated roughly 12 hours prior to your laser hair removal session. Make sure you avoid wax/depilatory cream, fake tan and getting sunburnt up to two weeks before your session. This is important, as the treatment uses a cosmetic laser that shoots a concentrated beam of light directly at the pigment in your hair follicles and will also sizzle any pigment on your skin, including tanning products.

AFTERCARE
A mild amount of heat and redness in the areas you have had treated is often normal. We have a creme to purchase that can aid in this uncomfortableness, as it draws out the heat and keeps the area cool.
For the first 24 hours after your treatment, you should avoid any shaving, exfoliation, plucking, exercise, swimming and hot water. Avoid sunlight for 2 weeks afterwards, and always use SPF 50.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
SYNERON-CANDELA Gentle MAX PRO uniquely removes unwanted body hair on ALL SKIN TYPES including tans without damaging the delicate pores and structures of the skin safely and effectively.
What precautions should be taken before and after treatment?
A commitment to stay out of the sun is necessary if you are going in for laser treatment. It is a mandatory requirement that you use Sun BLOCK & not Sun SCREEN. Using a sunblock and staying out of the sun enhances your treatment results and limits the risk of unwanted side effects. Do not use any form of self -tan at least two weeks prior to each treatment, do not wax, thread or pluck during treatments, and avoid exercise for about 24 hrs after treatment. Avoid aspirin 1-2 weeks prior to treatment. Keep the treated area cool after the hair removal and apply POST LASER ALOE GEL Avoid hot showers, avoid using AHA products over the treated area until any redness is completely gone, do not shave over the treated area for at least one week, apply a sunblock during all periods of sun exposure. Care should be taken for 1 week following treatments to avoid scrubbing or rinsing the treated area with abrasive skin cleansers.
What is Laser treatment and how does it work?
Laser is a safe, effective, and commonly used treatment, providing optimal results in areas such as the removal of unwanted hair, skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, leg veins and the treatment of acne. Lasers work by delivering an intense beam of light that is absorbed by the skin. This light is converted to heat and is absorbed by the cells being targeted, while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected. Syneron CANDELA Laser feature a patented skin-cooling device for even greater patient comfort and safety – and better results.
Are there any adverse side-effects to Laser treatment?
In general, most procedures have a low risk of adverse side effects. Some patients experience pigment changes in the skin colour. If this occurs, the skin will typically return to normal pigmentation over time. All treatment results are individual.
How long does each Laser Hair Removal appointment take, and how many treatments will I require?
Hair grows in cycles. Treatment times may vary depending on your specific needs. Hair growth is reduced after each treatment and the number of treatments required will be based on your hair colour, type,body area and skin tone,
