Laser Hair Removal: Face

At Glo, we utilize the world’s leading laser hair removal technology—medical-grade Candela GentleLASE Pro and GentleYAG Pro. This TGA-approved systems harness Alexandrite technology to deliver optimal results. To ensure your comfort, our advanced cooling machines are used before, during, and after every laser treatment, minimizing any discomfort throughout the process.

One of the key advantages of laser hair removal is that it's nearly painless, especially when compared to waxing. Each laser pulse lasts less than a second and creates a mild tingling sensation. In more sensitive areas, like the upper lip, it may feel similar to a light snap of a rubber band. To minimize any heat or discomfort, we use an advanced cooling system alongside our laser device, ensuring a more comfortable experience.

Unfortunately, we are unable to treat blonde, grey/white, and certain types of red hair with our laser hair removal treatment. This is because the laser targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair, and these hair colors lack sufficient pigment to effectively absorb the laser light.

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 should be done in 2-week intervals unless recommended otherwise.

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 entire recommended course of treatments and at consistent intervals for best results. We recommend a series of 10-12 treatments and maintenance treatments every 2-3 months for permanent hair reduction.

Shave treatment area at least 12-24 hours prior to your treatment

Avoid chemical peels or laser resurfacing treatments at least 4 weeks before your treatment

Exfoliate the treatment area at least 3 days before your treatment

Ensure all fake tan is removed and there is no residual fake tan present on the skin 24 hours before your treatment.

Allow 4 weeks prior to your treatment if you have had direct sun exposure. (Any kind of tanning or active sunbathing, with or without SPF). Allow 2 weeks prior to your treatment if you have had incidental sun exposure (stayed in the shade for the majority of the time during sunny periods, with or without SPF on).

Avoid using topical creams, moisturisers, body oils, colognes or perfumes to the area being treated 24 hours prior to treatment.

Do not wax, use depilatory creams or pluck hairs four weeks prior to laser treatment

No, unfortunately we cannot treat over tattoos with our laser. We can treat around the tattooed areas with a gap of 3cms.

Individuals with epilepsy are advised to consult their doctor before undergoing laser hair removal. Medical clearance is required prior to starting treatment.  We prioritize your safety and provide a range of protective eyewear options to ensure maximum protection during the procedure.

Certain medications can increase the skin's photosensitivity, potentially affecting how it responds to laser treatment. This includes, but is not limited to, oral and topical vitamin A, antibiotics, and some antidepressants. It’s important to consult your healthcare provider and obtain medical clearance. Once cleared, we can perform a patch test with the laser to ensure it's safe to proceed with treatment.

According to current medical guidelines, we are unable to perform laser hair removal during the first trimester of pregnancy. For clients in their second or third trimester, we require mandatory medical clearance before proceeding with treatment.

We recommend that clients undergoing laser hair removal be 18 years or older, as this ensures the best treatment results. Before 18, hair growth may not be fully developed due to fluctuating hormone levels.

In some cases, we can offer laser hair removal to clients aged 12 and older. However, for clients under 18, a parent or guardian must be present at the clinic for the first treatment. They will need to sign a consent form and attend the consultation to fully understand the procedure and aftercare. It is optional for the parent or guardian to be in the treatment room during the first session.
