How does it work? Light from the laser is passed onto the treatment area, where it is absorbed by the pigment in the hair shift and follicle. This generates heat, which loosens the hair and disables the cells involved in growing your hair - preventing future hairs from forming. At Caci the team are proud to offer hair removal with a Diode Laser — it's fast, can treat a wide range of hair and skin tones plus it also has a cooling tip which means less pain! One of the best parts about the Diode laser is that you do not need to have any hair regrowth when you come in for treatment — they actually need the treatment area to be clean-shaven! This is great, especially for the upper lip, chin and face.
Will it work for me? You’ll see the best results with dark hair — as the treatment is targeting the hair pigment. Some underlying medical conditions or medications may exclude you from treatment as they can make the result harder to predict. However, we recommend going in for a free consultation so the Caci team can assess your suitability. You may be able to treat some areas but not others depending on the hair pigment.
How many treatments will I need? For best results, Caci recommend eight treatments, 5-6 weeks apart. Caci’s membership is called Freedom — it's just like a gym membership, but for working off that unwanted hair! The team will put together a treatment schedule and payment plan too, so you can pay off your treatment over 12 months in weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments. Plus you get the exclusive member-only benefits as mentioned above!
When will I start to see results? Within 1-2 weeks following your treatment, some hairs may begin to fall out and then after your second or third treatment, you may start to see results. Keep in mind that everybody is different and results will vary. Caci’s team will recommend the best treatment schedule for you to treat your hair in the Anagen 'growing' phase to get the best results.
Does it hurt? Most people describe it as uncomfortable rather than painful. Caci pride themselves on performing the treatments quickly and safely, so it is over in no time!
I have PCOS, can I still receive laser hair removal? Many of Caci’s customers with PCOS achieve excellent results from laser hair removal treatment, and it can significantly improve their self-confidence. Although the results for many customers can be successful, and often life changing, they will need to continue to have the treatments on a regular basis to maintain a reduction in hair growth. As an existing medical condition like PCOS affects the body’s hair growth, it’s not possible to guarantee a result, as increased hair growth may continue in spite of regular laser hair removal treatments.
Can I tan in between appointments? Unfortunately yes, you need to avoid tanning in the sun or fake tanning (including sunbeds and artificial tanning products), in the area where you are having laser hair removal. This is because tanning darkens the skin, making it harder for the laser to distinguish between the pigment in skin and the pigment in your hair. The bottom line is it can disrupt your treatment cycle and make your results less effective, so it’s best to avoid tanning for the duration of your treatments. If you're ever unsure—ask the Caci team!
