Tired of shaving, waxing, and plucking? Laser hair removal offers a long-term solution for unwanted hair — and at Gilded Dreams, we make it more comfortable, more effective, and more affordable than ever.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) that targets the pigment (melanin) in your hair follicles. The light energy converts into heat, which damages the follicle to inhibit future growth. Because it works on the pigment in the hair itself, the most effective results are seen on clients with light skin and dark, coarse hair.
A typical course is 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, with most clients seeing 70-90% permanent reduction. Maintenance sessions may be needed once or twice a year.

Pre-Treatment & Aftercare
Before:
- Avoid direct sun exposure for 1-2 weeks before treatment
- Shave the area 24 hours before your appointment (do not wax or pluck)
- Avoid fake tan products for 2 weeks prior
- Come with clean, product-free skin
After: Avoid sun exposure for 48 hours, use SPF 30+ daily on treated areas, avoid hot showers/saunas for 24-48 hours, keep skin moisturised with a gentle, fragrance-free lotion.
Is Laser Right for You?
Laser works best on light-to-medium skin with dark, coarse hair. We always recommend a patch test on a small area first, especially if you have sensitive skin or hyperpigmentation concerns. Not sure? Book a free consultation and we'll assess your suitability in person.
