Hair Removal
At Hands-On Laser, we offer three distinct methods of hair removal, each with unique results and procedures.
Waxing: This ancient hair removal method has been modernized with advanced techniques and high-quality wax. Waxing provides short-term removal results, with regrowth typically appearing around 3-4 weeks after treatment.
Electrolysis: Invented over 100 years ago in 1875 by Charles E. Michel M.D., electrolysis was initially used to permanently remove in-grown eyelashes. Over time, this procedure evolved into a practical way to eliminate excessive hair growth on the face and body. Continuous advancements have significantly enhanced the safety and efficiency of electrolysis treatments.
Laser Hair Reduction: Initially developed in 1960 and commercially available since 1996, laser hair reduction has seen significant improvements in safety and efficacy over the years. Modern lasers can treat all skin types (Fitzpatrick 1-V1) and offer more permanent results compared to earlier versions. Today, laser hair removal is the most popular choice for individuals seeking hair removal due to its effectiveness.

How many treatments do I need?
Results vary between individuals depending on skin colour, hair colour, area, hormones and hair thickness. From studies, most people have a great reduction after 6 treatments. Depending on area, top up treatments are recomended and can vary between 3 months and a year.
Is Laser Painful?
Most people tolerate the sensation as the laser beam passes over the skin. The sensation has been reported as equivalent to an elastic band flicking the skin with some heat.
Why do I need to shave before the treatment?
In order for the laser to succesfully absorb down the hair follicle, the hair on the treatment area must be shaved prior to the treatment or have less than 1.5mm of regrowth. Shaving should be done 24-48 hours prior to treatment for the best results.
Electrolysis
Hands-On Laser - Electrolysis Hair Removal
Our technicians are highly trained in Thermolysis, Blend, and Galvanic Electrolysis techniques. Electrolysis hair removal stands out as the sole method sanctioned by the FDA for achieving permanent hair removal. This method involves the precise application of heat and a concentrated electrical current to each hair follicle, leading to permanent hair removal.
While it usually requires multiple sessions for optimal results, it's important to note that guaranteed permanent hair removal is not assured for everyone. Unlike laser treatments that target hair pigment, electrolysis directly affects the follicle itself. Therefore, individuals who are not ideal candidates for laser hair reduction – such as those with Grey, White, Blond, and Red hair – can achieve comparable results. Additionally, electrolysis is effective for treating any part of the body, including sensitive areas like eyebrows.
How does it work?
An electric current is applied with a very fine needle-shaped electrode, or metal probe into each hair follicle to destroy the root. There are three types of electrolysis: galvanic, thermolysis and blend. Hair grows in different stages: growing, resting and shedding. Because all of the hair isn't on the same stage at any given time, multiple sessions are needed to get the hair in the growth phase for electrolysis hair removal to be most effective- just like laser hair removal.
How much does it cost?
Treatments are determined by minutes per session, from 5 minutes - 2 hours depending on the area and amount of hair. Frequent treatments weekly to fortnightly are recomended at the beginning.
Waxing & Tinting
At Hands-On Laser, we prioritize the comfort and satisfaction of our clients by using top-quality strip wax and hot wax products. Our focus on quality ensures a more comfortable experience during your waxing sessions. In addition to our premium waxing products, we also utilize Reflectacil Tints to provide rich, long-lasting color for your eyebrows and lashes. This combination of quality waxing products and advanced tinting solutions reflects our commitment to delivering exceptional results for our clients.
How many sessions do I need?
Waxing is a continuous treatment, recommended every 4 weeks depending on area and rate of hair growth.
Is waxing painful?
Waxing can be uncomfortable to begin with. Clients refer to waxing as a mild sting that resolves immediately once the hair is removed.
Can I resume normal activity?
We recommend not to use pools & spa's in common areas for 24 hours afterwards. Avoid hot showers & baths until skin redness resides completely.
