At A Class of Beauty, we use advanced medical-grade diode laser technology to deliver safe, effective and long-lasting hair reduction. The laser works by emitting a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) within the hair. This energy travels down the hair shaft to the follicle, where it disrupts future hair growth while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. Our diode laser is suitable for a wide range of skin types and can be used to treat both the face and body with precision and comfort.

Before beginning treatment, every client must attend a consultation and patch test. This is an essential part of the process, allowing us to assess your skin and hair type, review your medical history, identify any contraindications, and ensure the laser settings are tailored specifically to you. The patch test also confirms that your skin responds safely to treatment and helps minimise the risk of adverse reactions.

Laser hair removal is most effective on hair that is in the active growth (anagen) phase. As not all hairs are growing at the same time, multiple sessions are required to target each follicle at the correct stage of its cycle. Most clients begin to notice slower regrowth and finer, softer hairs after 2–3 treatments, with a significant reduction typically seen after 6–8 sessions. The exact number of treatments required varies depending on the treatment area, hair colour and thickness, skin tone, hormones and individual hair growth patterns. Maintenance treatments may be recommended once or twice a year to maintain your results.

For the best outcome, clients should avoid waxing, plucking or threading for at least four weeks before treatment, as the hair follicle needs to be present for the laser to work effectively. Shaving is encouraged before your appointment, and following the recommended aftercare advice will help maximise your results while keeping your skin healthy and comfortable throughout your treatment course.
