Laser Hair Removal is proving to be a game-changer for women battling hormonal imbalances. We chat to the experienced team at Laser Hair Removal At The Bay & On Unley to find out more.

Precision targeting

Excessive hair growth on the face and body is a common symptom of some hormonal conditions such as menopause and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which affects between eight to 13 percent of Australian women. Hormone treatments can help to slow hair growth, but the only way to significantly reduce the growth is with laser hair removal. Using the right laser, operated by a registered nurse (like those at Laser Hair Removal at The Bay & On Unley), hair follicles can be treated with precision, selectively targeting areas of excessive hair growth while leaving the surrounding skin unaffected and free of ingrown hairs or razor bumps.

How does it work?

Laser Hair Removal at The Bay & On Unley uses LightSheer for hair removal – a dual-head laser beam considered to be the ‘gold standard’ in the industry. The treatment works in a two-step process. First it targets the pigment located in the hair follicle and destroys it, disrupting its ability to grow. Concurrently, the LightSheer tip has a patented sapphire chilled tip that cools the target area immediately in order to protect your skin.

Reduced hair growth

Over multiple sessions, laser hair removal can significantly reduce hair growth in treated areas. This reduction can improve comfort and quality of life for those dealing with unwanted hair growth due to hormonal imbalances.

Long-lasting results

For people with PCOS, high levels
of androgen (male hormones) cause excess hair growth, but it also impacts how thick and dark the hair follicle is. During menopause, when the production of estrogen naturally decreases, male hormones may also become more prominent. So, while immediate removal techniques (like tweezing) can appear as a quick-fix solution to unwanted hair growth, it often causes the follicle to grow back looking a little like stubble.

Therefore, unlike temporary hair removal methods such as tweezing, shaving or waxing, laser hair removal offers long-lasting results. With every session, hair re-growth becomes finer, lighter and sparser. And, because follicles are purposefully damaged during the treatment (which results in them becoming dormant for an extended period of time), it also delays growth.

Experience matters

Qualified nurses can customise a laser hair removal treatment plan
to address specific concerns and areas of excessive hair growth, ensuring optimal results and patient satisfaction. At Laser Hair Removal at The Bay & On Unley, founder Veronica Denwick is
a registered nurse with three decades of experience and has worked with Class 4 Medical Lasers for more than 20 years.
