Laser Hair Removal at Ruby Waxx

 

Laser hair removal works by using concentrated light energy to target the hair follicle. The pigment in the hair absorbs the energy, helping to weaken the follicle and reduce future hair growth over time.

 

Because hair grows in different cycles, a course of treatments is recommended for the best results. With regular sessions, laser hair removal can significantly reduce regrowth and help you enjoy smoother skin with less day-to-day maintenance.

 

At Ruby Waxx, we use the Pure Skin Epilase ICE system, which features cooling technology designed to make treatment more comfortable while effectively treating unwanted hair on the face and body. The salon’s laser page describes EpiLase ICE as suitable for all skin types and notes a mandatory consultation and patch test before treatment.

Your Consultation & Patch Test

 

Before starting laser hair removal, we’ll carry out a consultation and patch test to make sure treatment is suitable for your skin and hair type and to talk through your goals, treatment areas and any questions you may have.

 

This is an important part of your treatment journey and allows us to create a personalised plan based on the areas you want to treat and the results you’d like to achieve. Ruby Waxx’s laser page states that a patch test and consultation are mandatory for any laser treatment. (Ruby Waxx)

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

 

Because hair grows in different stages, laser hair removal requires a course of treatments for the best results. The number of sessions you need will depend on the area being treated, your hair growth cycle, hair thickness and your individual goals.

 

At your consultation, we’ll explain:

 

* how many sessions may be recommended

* how often your treatments should be booked

* what kind of results you can expect

* whether maintenance sessions may be beneficial in the future

 

​

 

What Does Treatment Feel Like?

 

Most clients describe laser hair removal as a quick warming or snapping sensation on the skin. The cooling element of the Pure Skin Epilase ICE system is designed to make treatment more comfortable and manageable throughout the session.

 

Appointment times vary depending on the size of the area being treated, but many treatments are quick and easy to fit into your routine.

 

​

 

Before Your Appointment

 

Before your laser hair removal appointment, we may advise you to:

 

* Shave the treatment area before your appointment

* Avoid waxing, threading or plucking beforehand

* Avoid excessive sun exposure and sunbeds

* Avoid fake tan before treatment

* Follow the personalised pre-treatment advice given during your consultation

 

​

 

Aftercare Advice

 

After treatment, you may notice mild redness or warmth in the treated area, which usually settles quickly.

 

To care for your skin after laser hair removal, we may recommend:

 

* Avoiding excessive heat for 24–48 hours

* Protecting the skin from sun exposure and wearing SPF

* Avoiding harsh exfoliation immediately after treatment

* Following all aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner
