Depending on the size of the area being treated and the number of areas being treated per session, your appointment time will vary. Laser Hair Removal treatments can take as little as 5 minutes, but we don’t ever want our clients to feel rushed. Therefore, please feel free to relax in our client lounge before or after your treatment and browse our leading skincare, beauty, supplement and wellbeing brands in our retail boutique.
You will require multiple Laser Hair Removal treatments set to a very specific schedule. Your therapist will provide details of your bespoke treatment programme during your initial consultation.

Without getting too technical, the 3D technology used at SkinSpirit really does ensure exceptional results! The revolutionary 3D Titanium technology utilises the 3 most effective laser wavelengths through one applicator, guaranteeing the safest, most efficient, pain free hair removal. Combining the effectiveness of the Alex 755nm, the Speed 810nm and the Yag 1064nm wavelengths ensures triple laser power able to treat all skin types, all year round.
The unique gradual heating, single pulse delivery method effectively damages the hair follicle, hindering re-growth. Bye bye hair – hello smooth skin!
Pre & Post Treatment Care
There is some important pretreatment guidance that must be followed to ensure you achieve the best results from each Laser Hair Removal session at SkinSpirit.
Laser Hair Removal requires there to be a hair follicle for the laser to target. If you have recently plucked or waxed your body, there won’t be a hair follicle to target. At SkinSpirit we recommend a 2 week break from waxing or tweezing before attempting Laser Hair Removal. Alternatives like shaving or depilatory hair removal creams can however be used in the 2 weeks prior to your appointment.
We would ask that you shave the area/s to be treated 24 hours prior to your treatment.
