Unwanted hair can be frustrating to manage, whether it’s the constant upkeep of shaving, the pain of waxing, or the irritation that comes with ingrown hairs. That’s why more people than ever are turning to laser hair removal for a long-lasting solution.
At Aeternum Aesthetics, we use the advanced Lumiere Duo system to deliver safe, effective, and lasting results for silky smooth skin. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know before starting your laser hair removal journey.
What Methods of Hair Removal Are Available?
Before exploring laser hair removal, it’s helpful to understand how it compares to other methods:
- Shaving – Quick and easy, but only lasts 1–2 days. Can cause irritation and ingrown hairs.
- Waxing – Removes hair from the root for longer results, but can be painful and may irritate the skin.
- Depilatory creams – Dissolve hair at the surface; painless but short-lived and can cause skin sensitivity.
- Electrolysis – Permanent solution but requires treating each follicle individually, making it time-consuming and costly.
- Laser hair removal – A long-term solution that targets the hair follicle directly for smooth, lasting results.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal works by directing concentrated beams of light into the hair follicle. The pigment (melanin) in the hair absorbs this light, which is converted into heat. This process damages the follicle and reduces its ability to regrow hair.
The Lumiere Duo we use at Aeternum Aesthetics is designed with dual-wavelength technology, making it suitable for all skin tones and many hair types. It’s fast, precise, and equipped with integrated cooling to ensure maximum comfort during treatment.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
- Long-lasting results – After a series of treatments, clients typically see 85–90% hair reduction.
- Precision – Targets the follicle directly without harming surrounding skin.
- Speed – Multiple follicles treated at once, making sessions quick and efficient.
- Skin-friendly – Reduces irritation, ingrown hairs, and razor burn.
- Confidence boost – Say goodbye to daily shaving and monthly waxing appointments.
How Many Sessions Will You Need?
Hair grows in cycles, and laser hair removal is most effective during the active growth phase. That’s why multiple sessions are needed.
- Most clients need 6 to 12 sessions for best results.
- Treatments are spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart.
- Maintenance sessions may be required depending on individual hair growth and hormonal factors.
During your consultation at Aeternum Aesthetics, we’ll assess your skin and hair type and create a personalised plan.
How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal
To achieve the best results, here are a few preparation tips:
✔️ Shave the area 24 hours before your session.
✔️ Avoid waxing, plucking, or epilation before treatment – the follicle must be intact.
✔️ Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning products.
✔️ Inform your practitioner about any new medications.
✔️ Arrive with clean, product-free skin.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Consultation & Patch Test – Your journey begins with a consultation and patch test to ensure treatment suitability.
- Treatment Session – The Lumiere Duo handpiece is applied to the treatment area, emitting light pulses that target hair follicles.
- Sensation – Many clients describe it as a mild tingling sensation. The Lumiere Duo’s built-in cooling helps keep discomfort minimal.
- Duration – Small areas (lip/underarm) take just minutes, while larger areas (legs/back) may take up to an hour.
- Aftercare – Cooling is applied post-treatment, and mild redness may occur but usually settles within hours.
Aftercare Tips
For the best healing and results:
- Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks.
- Keep the area clean and dry.
- Wear loose clothing to prevent irritation.
- Skip exfoliants and active skincare for a week.
- Apply soothing gels (such as aloe vera) if needed.
- Always follow your practitioner’s aftercare advice.
Risks & Side Effects
Laser hair removal is safe when performed by trained professionals, but mild side effects can occur, including:
- Temporary redness or swelling
- Slight pigment changes (more likely in darker/tanned skin)
- Rarely, blistering or burns if pre-treatment guidance isn’t followed
At Aeternum Aesthetics, our qualified practitioners ensure the highest level of safety and care.
