Unwanted hair can be frustrating to manage with traditional methods like shaving, waxing, or depilatory creams. Laser hair removal offers a long-term solution, reducing hair growth safely and effectively for all skin types. At NewDermaMed Laser Clinic, we use state-of-the-art laser technology, including Fotona, Cutera CoolGlide, and ProWave LX, to provide customized, pain-minimized treatments for the best results.

Laser Hair Removal
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal targets hair follicles using concentrated light energy (laser technology). The laser emits a wavelength that is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair, which then converts to heat. This destroys the follicle while preserving surrounding skin, preventing future hair growth.
Hair grows in three phases:
Anagen (Active Growth Phase): Hair is attached to the follicle and contains melanin, making it the best phase for laser treatment.
Catagen (Transitional Phase): The follicle shrinks, and hair begins to detach, making it less responsive to laser therapy.
Telogen (Resting Phase): The hair sheds, and the follicle remains dormant before restarting the cycle.
Note: Since not all hairs are in the same phase at once, multiple sessions are needed to target hairs in the anagen phase for optimal results.

FAQ for Laser Hair Removal
Is laser hair removal safe for dark skin?
Yes! Our Fotona and CoolGlide lasers are designed to safely treat darker skin tones.
Does it hurt?
Most patients feel a mild warming sensation or a rubber-band snap feeling, but our cooling technology minimizes discomfort.
Can I shave between sessions?
Yes, shaving is allowed (but avoid waxing or plucking, as they remove the hair root).
How long until I see results?
Most clients notice a significant hair reduction after 3-4 treatments, with full results after 6-8 sessions.
Are results permanent?
Laser hair removal provides long-lasting hair reduction, though some maintenance treatments may be needed over time.
What laser equipment is used?
Here at NewDermaMed Clinic we use the CoolGuide and ProWave Laser technology created by CUTERA. They are one of the most advanced Laser Hair Removal pieces available on the market. They guarantee maximum results in comparison to other name brand laser technologies.
Is this treatment good for all hair and skin types?
We are able to work on all hair and skin types with both our CoolGuide and ProWave treatments with great results. However, if hair is proving to be stubborn during the removal process we will use our ProWave Laser. With ProWave we have the option of using 3 different treatment speeds and wavelengths, which we tailor to our client. This provides optimal hair removal efficiency.
Is there any down time?
No. Our clients can resume most daily activities, however heavy exercise is prohibited for a 24-hour period after each treatment. Sunbathing and tanning beds are also not to be used until 1 week after the treatment. This is because the treated areas will be highly sensitive to sun exposure.
What will my skin be like after?
Your skin will be the same as it was before, only more sensitive to the sun. We inform our clients that any area that has been treated and is exposed to the sun on a day-to-day basis should be covered with a minimum 30 SPF. For example: legs, arms, face etc.
Will my hair be completely gone after one treatment?
7-10 days after your first appointment, you will notice your hair fall out in the area that was treated. This is normal. However not all of our hairs grow at the same time. We recommend more then one Laser Hair Removal treatment so that it can target all hairs when they enter the growth stage. This will give you maximum results.
