How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
At Faces By Bae we use the world-recognised AW3 Laser System. Laser Hair Removal works by using highly concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles beneath the skin’s surface. The pigment in the hair absorbs the light, causing the follicle to heat up and inhibit future hair growth. Over time, the treated hair will shed, leaving your skin silky and smooth. Since hair grows in cycles, more than one session is necessary to target all hair follicles effectively.
The AW3 system is one of the most advanced laser hair removal technologies available. It offers several key benefits:
- Speed and Efficiency: AW3 lasers can treat larger areas in less time, making your sessions quicker and more efficient.
- Precision: The AW3 laser targets the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin, reducing the risk of burns, irritation or redness.
- Comfortable Treatment: While no laser hair removal system is completely pain-free, AW3 minimises discomfort with its ice-cold laser head, making the experience more tolerable for clients.
What Does Laser Hair Removal Feel Like?
While some clients lay back and relax and say they don’t feel much others describe the sensation of laser hair removal as a prickly feeling against the skin. The discomfort is minimal and only lasts a fraction of a second as the laser targets each hair follicle. Our AW3 system also includes built-in cooling technology which means the laser head is covered in ice during treatment, further enhancing your comfort.
How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?
The cost of Laser Hair Removal at Faces By Bae depends on the area being treated and the number of sessions required to achieve optimal results. Prices start at £45 per session for smaller areas, with discounted package options available for multiple sessions and multiple areas. During your consultation, we’ll create a customised treatment plan based on your hair type, skin tone, and the areas you want to treat.
How Many Sessions Are Needed for Laser Hair Removal?
Most clients see noticeable results after 3 to 6 sessions, but this can vary depending on the area being treated, hair density, and individual hair growth cycles. For permanent hair reduction, we recommend a course of treatments spaced apart, ensuring all hair follicles are effectively targeted as they enter their active growth phase.
What Areas Can Be Treated with Laser Hair Removal?
Our AW3 Laser Hair Removal can be used on virtually any area of the body, including:
- Face: Upper lip, chin, sideburns, and jawline
- Body: Underarms, arms, legs, chest, and back
- Bikini Line: Standard bikini, Brazilian, or Hollywood
- Sensitive Areas: The AW3 laser is gentle enough for more delicate areas such as the bikini line and facial hair, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience
Aftercare for Laser Hair Removal
To ensure the best results, it’s important to follow these aftercare guidelines:
- Avoid sun exposure for at least 14 days post-treatment and apply sunscreen when going outdoors.
- Refrain from waxing, plucking, or threading between sessions—shaving is fine, as it doesn’t interfere with the laser’s ability to target the hair follicle.
- Moisturise and Exfoliate the treated area regularly to keep the skin hydrated and soothe and to encourage the hairs to shed.
- Avoid hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 48 hours after the treatment to reduce the risk of irritation.
We will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to maximise your results and minimise any potential side effects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Laser hair removal is most effective on dark, coarse hair. However, during your consultation, we’ll assess whether laser hair removal is suitable for your specific hair type.
Many clients start noticing a reduction in hair growth after their first session, with more significant results visible after 3 to 6 treatments. The hair will gradually become finer and lighter with each session
While laser hair removal offers long-lasting results, it is technically considered permanent hair reduction. Some hair may eventually grow back, but it will be much finer and lighter. Occasional touch-up sessions may be needed to maintain smooth, hair-free skin, we call these your maintenance sessions.
Because we care! – We want you to have fantastic results all while feeling comfortable.
