Laser Hair Removal
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to remove unwanted hair. During the procedure, the laser emits heat energy that targets the melanin in the hair follicles beneath the skin's surface. This heat damages the follicles, inhibiting future hair growth.
Lasers are precise, ensuring that only the targeted hair follicles are affected while leaving surrounding skin unharmed.
Over multiple sessions, laser hair removal can significantly reduce hair growth, minimizing the need for traditional hair removal methods like waxing or shaving.

At Casa Aire Wellness we use Diode lasers for hair removal. Due to the broad wavelengths, they are versatile, painless and safe for use on a wide range of skin tones, making them very effective for light to dark skin types.
Common areas for laser hair removal include the face, underarms, legs, bikini line, and back. With its adaptability and efficacy, diode laser hair removal offers a reliable solution for long-term hair reduction
How to prepare and what to expect after.
To prepare for your laser treatment session we recommend steering clear of sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks prior—this helps to safeguard your skin. Say no to plucking, waxing, or electrolysis before your appointment, as these methods interfere with the laser's effectiveness. Instead, give the treatment area a smooth shave one day before to ensure optimal results.
After your session, anticipate some temporary redness which typically fades within a few hours.
It’s important to embrace any aftercare routine tailored to your needs. Soothe any discomfort post-treatment with aloe vera gel, keep the area shielded from the sun, and use SPF.
We suggest staying away from hot showers for 24 hours, moisturising gently and avoiding fragranced skincare for at least 3 days.
