What You Need To Know About Laser Hair Removal Treatments
When it comes to laser procedures, hair removal has become one of the most sought-after laser treatments in the cosmetic world. In recent years, laser hair removal treatments have become increasingly popular due to advancements in laser technology, increasing safety and reducing side effects. The adjustability of these lasers allows for a wide variety of skin and hair colours to benefit from treatment.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
While hair removal may seem complex, there is a simple explanation as to how laser hair removal works. The laser’s light is converted into heat energy, which specifically focuses on the hair follicle. The laser targets the melanin in the hair, which absorbs light from the laser before being converted into heat energy. The heat then damages the hair follicle, preventing new hair growth altogether.
Multiple treatments are usually needed to target hair growth, helping to reduce hair growth semi or fully permanently. Although laser hair removal can permanently reduce the growth of hair, it does not eliminate all hair. As a bellwether in the art of laser treatments, we at NuSkinnovation invite all to our laser clinic Cape Town for the very best in hair removal treatment.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
There are several benefits to undergoing laser hair removal. Our laser clinic Cape Town treatments offer a wealth of benefits, including smoother skin, improved hygiene, reduced ingrown hair, enhanced athletic performance and much more. Laser hair removal smoothens the skin’s texture and hygiene is improved by reducing sweat and bacteria that accumulates in hair.
Removing unwanted hair can lead to improved social situations by increasing confidence and self-esteem, whereas waxing and shaving can cause painful ingrown hair. Patients can expect improved skin health by allowing better application of skincare products and expert care by our professional somatologists.
What To Expect During And After Treatment
During the treatment, clients can expect a warm pinprick sensation on the area being treated. Immediately after treatment, the skin will likely be red and swollen like a mild sunburn. After the first few days, swelling and redness will subside. Within a month of receiving treatment, the hair will begin falling out from treated areas. Individuals can expect a noticeable reduction in hair over time.
After a few sessions, most patients experience a reduction of hair growth or no hair growth at all. We advise patients to avoid hot showers, baths, saunas or any strenuous exercise within 24 hours after treatment. Hair growth works in cycles, and it may be necessary to receive follow up treatments to maintain results. Patients should wear sunscreen after treatment and avoid exposure to tanning beds and the sun.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Before the advancement of laser technology, a candidate suited for hair removal was recommended to have light skin and dark hair. Individuals with these traits received the best results with minimal side effects due to the high contrast between skin and hair colour. In recent years, however, the advancement of laser technology has increased the range of suitable candidates. New lasers prevent harmful side effects and can be adjusted to suit a variety of different hair and skin types. These advancements in laser technology have revolutionised the widespread use of laser hair removal, allowing people of all skin types to undergo treatment.
Advanced Skin Rejuvenation And Resurfacing
At NuSkinnovation, we offer IPL and laser skin rejuvenation treatments designed to aid a wide variety of skin concerns. Our Intense Pulsed Light therapy (IPL) uses multiple wavelengths of light and gently improves tone and texture of the skin while our erbium and fractional lasers are used to stimulate the production of collagen, leading to a deeper renewal. Our expert guidance can restore a radiant complexion.
IPL And Laser Skin Rejuvenation
IPL is a cosmetic skin procedure that uses light energy to improve skin appearance by reducing sun damage and wrinkles. During this procedure, the laser emits multiple wavelengths of light unlike its predecessors, which only emits one wavelength. Skin pigments absorb the light energy and convert it into heat. Skin is improved with the stimulation of collagen production and a variety of skin conditions can be treated using IPL. These conditions include rosacea, hyperpigmentation and vascular lesions. Put simply, IPL treatment is a gentle procedure that improves the overall texture and tone of the skin.
Similarly, laser skin rejuvenation treatments are performed using a laser that emits a single wavelength of light that is absorbed by targeted skin areas. Laser skin resurfacing is used at our laser clinic Cape Town branch to treat wrinkles, scars, sun damage, hyperpigmentation and other skin concerns. Skin rejuvenation treatments reduce the number of sessions needed to achieve a desired effect, but these kinds of treatments tend to have a longer recovery time.
Treating Wrinkles And Fine Lines
There are multiple lasers which can help patients achieve a variety of different results. This includes CO2 and erbium lasers, which are commonly used to stimulate collagen production. These lasers are considered ablative and are used to remove the outer layer of skin, typically used to treat deep wrinkles and scars.
CO2 lasers are generally used alongside fractional lasers and offer a gentler approach with a shorter recovery time. Non-ablative lasers are effective in stimulating collagen without removing the outer skin. These lasers include erbium (Er:YAG) and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). Non-ablative lasers stimulate collagen production in the skin and are generally used for finer lines and wrinkles.
Combining Laser Treatments With Skincare Regimens
Patients can enhance and maintain their laser treatment results by implementing a well-balanced skincare routine. A post-treatment regime should focus on moisturising the skin and using gentle products to support healing. Avoid any products that might irritate the skin like exfoliants, scrubs, makeup and any other harsh products.
Retinol products can be beneficial to the skin when used long term in combination with laser treatment. Microneedling can be safely and effectively combined with laser treatments to achieve facial rejuvenation.

Specialised Body Treatments
Our specialised procedures are designed to aid patients by reducing cellulite, treating stretch marks, toning muscles and firming areas of the body. Unwanted tattoos and scars can be treated through light-based treatments that break down ink and pigments, allowing them to fade away over time. We provide skin solutions that aid in shrinking enlarged pores and refine skin texture. Additionally, our advanced and innovative Starformer and EMS/EMMS laser systems assist in strengthening and body contouring.
Stretch Mark And Cellulite Reduction
Laser treatments are a non-invasive way to reduce cellulite and improve stretch marks. While results may vary, treatment can reduce the overall visibility of stretch marks and contribute to smoother, more toned skin. Our laser clinic Cape Town branch offers body transformation treatments with our StarFormer system, a toning and firming laser device. Patients will notice a gradual improvement in skin texture as collagen production increases.
Laser treatments can stimulate collagen and thicken skin by breaking up fibrous bands beneath the skin that cause cellulite and uneven skin texture. To achieve optimal results, multiple sessions are needed, especially with deep and older stretch marks. Our non-invasive laser treatments offer minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume normal activities promptly.
Tattoo And Vascular Lesion Removal
Focused light beams break down pigments or damaged blood vessels under the skin. The body naturally breaks down and absorbs fragmented ink or reabsorbs damaged blood vessels. This leads to the fading of unwanted marks on and under the skin. NuSkinnovation’s tattoo and vascular lesion treatments assist in the elimination of these unwanted skin concerns with impeccable precision.
Shrinking Enlarged Pores And Improving Skin Texture
Our specialised laser treatments can exfoliate the outer layer of skin while removing dead skin cells. Pico lasers penetrate deeply and break down excess oil and dirt that clogs pores. The pores can be made to appear smaller by increasing collagen and tightening the skin. As previously mentioned, the most popular laser types for these treatments include the IPL and Fractional laser. These treatments help to reduce the appearance of larger pores.
Muscle Strengthening, Toning And Firming
There are specialised lasers procedures that stimulate muscle contractions, leading to the strengthening of muscles, improved skin firmness and toning. Treatments are used to target areas including glutes, arms, thighs and abdomen, with body contouring involving the removal of fat cells in targeted areas. The StarFormer at our laser clinic Cape Town branch is used to strengthen the pelvic floor and can assist in urinary inconsistency while our Electrical Muscle Stimulation treatment (EMS) is used to stimulate muscle contractions. Additionally, high intensity Electromagnetic muscle stimulation (EMMS) is used to increase muscle tone and strength.
