Why Choose Laser Hair Removal?
Until recently, laser hair removal was very expensive, but this popular method of permanently reducing hair growth has become much more affordable. This is good news for anyone who wants to feel sexy, smooth, and confident, or for anyone who suffers from a medical condition such as PCOS, hirsutism, or is prone to ingrown hairs.

Laser Hair Removal is Better than Using Traditional Methods
Shaving is an inexpensive and common way to get rid of unwanted hair, but the results are only good for a day.
Waxing lasts longer, but it is not permanent and many people find the procedure painful. People who wish to be hair-free don’t want the bother of shaving or waxing for the rest of their lives. Compared to the cost of waxing every few weeks for twenty or more years, hair removal is much more cost efficient. The best part: it’s permanent. So, in addition to saving money, you will save time and effort – no more visits to a salon to get waxed, no extra minutes in the mornings shaving your legs.
Laser hair removal is an affordable and hassle-free solution that offers permanent results.
Before and After
How Does the Procedure Work?
The laser fires a beam of light to the skin that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle. The temperature of the hair follicle is heated just enough to destroy the bulb attached to the hair follicle. To fully understand how laser works, you need to understand the three stages of hair growth.
1. Anagen Phase
When the hair is attached to the root. During this phase, the hair contains a lot of melanin. This is the perfect time for treatment because the laser needs to destroy the hair to achieve a permanent reduction in hair growth.
2. Catagen Phase
It is the transition phase.
This is when the hair stops growing and detaches itself from the root.
3. Telogen Phase
It is the resting phase.
During this period, the hair prepares itself for shedding.
The cycle then begins again, and the anagen hair starts to regrow.
It is important to understand that hairs in the catagen and telegonphases will not be permanently destroyed. Most establishments recommend booking 6 to 12 sessions because at any given time your hair will be in a different growth stage. Laser technology does not work on white or grey hairs because the laser light cannot target light-coloured hairs.
Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?
Laser hair removal is very safe. The technology has improved vastly over the years, and laser practitioners undergo rigorous training before performing treatments on clients.
The entire staff at CoLaz is fully qualified and most hold a Level 4 Certificate in Laser and IPL hair removal treatments. We perform a patch test 48 hours before actual treatment to make sure your skin can accept treatment.
Skin Types
The lasers we use at CoLaz are medical grade and used by medical practitioners worldwide. The machines work on all skin types and are very effective at permanently reducing hair growth.
The Fitzpatrick Scale
How Permanent is Laser Hair Removal?
It really depends on what area of the body and what type of hair you are treating. If you have very thick, coarse hair, you will see an 85- 90% reduction in hair growth. Someone with fine hair will only see a reduction of approximately 45- 60%.
In our experience, permanent laser hair removal on the face is more effective for men than for women because women tend to grow new and more hair on their faces as they get older. This can be caused by changes in hormones, menopause, or medication.
However, laser treatment to women's bikini area, underarms, and legs usually produces a 95% permanent reduction.
Laser Hair Removal Cost
The costs listed below are estimates. It is important you attend a free consultation. The laser technician will be able to confirm your hair type, body area to be treated, and your personal growth pattern and give you an accurate quote. The good news is that over the last few years the cost of laser treatments has dropped by as much as half.
Myths and Facts about Laser Hair Removal
Myths
Facts
Harmful to internal organs.
The laser beam only targets the melanin in the hair shaft. Therefore, the beam does not reach any internal organs or emit any cancerous ultraviolet light.
The laser burns the skin.
Performed by fully trained professionals is a safe and effective way to remove unwanted hairs without damage to the skin.
Causes ingrown hairs and pimples.
Ingrown hairs are often the result of waxing, shaving,or epilating. Laser hair removal treatment can eliminate those ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and pimples because it destroys the hair and follicle.
Hurts.
While some areas are more sensitive than others, most clients who have the procedure experience only a slight temporary stinging sensation from the laser.
Doesn’t provide lasting results.
While there’s no guarantee after laser hair removal, most people can stop shaving for years. Some may never need to shave again, and if your hair does grow back, it will be much finer and lighter in color. Either way, it is definitely better than shaving on a daily basis!
For optimum results, we recommend maintenance laser treatments every six months to a year to keep your skin smooth and hair-free.
You have to let your hair grow for a week before your appointment.
Actually, for the best results, you should shave just before your treatment session. If you do not shave beforehand, the laser technician may do it for you. Shaving allows more of the laser energy to target the hair follicle beneath the skin’s surface instead of the hair shaft above it. Please don’t wax, pluck, or bleach your hair prior to an appointment because doing so can make the laser ineffective.
Can Laser Hair Removal be Performed on the Full Body?
Laser hair removal can be done anywhere on the body. The most popular areas for women are the bikini, face, underarms, and legs. Most men choose to have their back, chest, and beard line treated.
What to Expect from Laser Hair Removal Treatment
When you arrive for a consultation, the laser technician will ensure you are a suitable candidate for laser.
They will review your medical background and ask about medications you may be taking that can affect the results of laser treatment.
If you are a suitable candidate, a patch test will be done that day. If you don’t have any adverse reactions after 48 hours, you can start your first session!
