If you have sensitive or dry skin, we recommend shaving the treatment area at home 1-2 days before your laser hair removal appointment. This allows the skin to recover and ensures it’s well-moisturized. If you cannot shave yourself, our technicians will assist you.

Tip: For sensitive/dry skin, shave at least 1 day in advance and moisturize thoroughly.

The treatment area is cleansed with a professional-grade cleansing solution (e.g., a pre-treatment cleanser). This step completely removes dirt, oil, sweat, deodorant, sunscreen, makeup, and other impurities.

The technician will adjust the laser hair removal machine’s settings (energy, wavelength, pulse duration) to match your skin type, skin color, hair color, and hair thickness. A layer of cooling gel is applied to the treatment area. This gel helps to transmit the laser energy to the hair follicles and protect the skin. The technician moves the handpiece over the skin, delivering pulses of laser light (typically 2 to 5 pulses, depending on the area and skin response).

The cooling gel is wiped clean with a soft towel. A professional soothing and protective aftercare lotion (Jax Wax Australia After Wax Lotion) is applied to the treated area.

Tip: This lotion not only soothes the skin and reduces redness/irritation, but also provides antibacterial protection, promotes healing, helps prevent ingrown hairs, and keeps the skin moisturized. For best results, continue using a specialized aftercare lotion at home for at least 7-10 days after treatment.
