“Far more comfortable than the laser I had elsewhere. The cooling makes a real difference.”
The laser targets pigment. That is the whole principle, and it is also why hair colour matters more than skin type for predicting your result.
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light to reduce unwanted hair. The laser emits light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, converting to heat that damages the follicle and inhibits future growth.
Hair grows in cycles, and the laser can only affect follicles that are in the active growth phase at the time of treatment. This is why a course is always required rather than a single session, and why sessions are spaced several weeks apart.
At Dermamina we use FDA-approved, medical-grade equipment with advanced cooling built in. The cooling protects the surrounding skin and makes the treatment considerably more comfortable than older systems, which is the difference most patients notice first if they have had laser elsewhere.
Because the laser works by targeting pigment, dark hair responds best. Very light blonde, red, grey and white hair contain little or no pigment for the laser to target, and results in those cases are limited or absent.
We will tell you this at your patch test rather than after you have paid for a course. If laser is not going to work on your hair, we would rather you knew before booking.
Book nowA free patch test and consultation is required before your first session. We assess your skin and hair type, check your medical history and confirm the laser will work for you.
The area is shaved if needed and the handpiece is passed over the skin. Most patients describe the sensation as a rubber band snapping against the skin, and the advanced cooling makes this considerably more tolerable. Small areas take around 10 minutes.
Mild redness and warmth for a few hours is normal. Avoid sun exposure, hot baths, saunas and exercise for 24 to 48 hours, and use sun protection throughout your course. Sessions are spaced several weeks apart to match the hair growth cycle.
Laser hair removal works best on dark hair, and works across almost any area of the face and body.
Very light blonde, red, grey and white hair does not respond to laser. Certain medications and skin conditions also affect suitability, and both are checked at your free patch test.

This varies depending on the area being treated, hair type and individual response. Most patients need a course of six to eight sessions spaced several weeks apart.
Pain tolerance varies, but most patients describe the sensation as a rubber band snapping against the skin. Our equipment uses advanced cooling, which makes it considerably more comfortable.
Almost any part of the body, including the face, arms, underarms, legs, back, chest and bikini area.
Shave the area beforehand, avoid waxing or plucking for several weeks before your session, and avoid sun exposure and fake tan. Full pre-care advice is given at your patch test.
Mild redness and warmth for a few hours after treatment is normal and expected. More significant reactions are uncommon and we will advise on how to manage them.
No. The laser targets pigment, so dark hair responds best. Very light blonde, red, grey and white hair contain little pigment and respond poorly or not at all.
Some shedding of treated hair over the following one to two weeks is normal. Avoid sun, heat and exercise for 24 to 48 hours.
Most patients notice reduced density after two to three sessions, with the full effect building across the complete course.
