Laser hair removal works by targeting the melanin (pigment) inside your hair follicles. A focused beam of light passes safely through the skin and is absorbed by the follicle, creating heat that disrupts its ability to regrow hair while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. This process is known as selective photothermolysis.
Because hair grows in cycles, the laser is only effective on follicles in the anagen (active growth) phase. Not all hairs are in this phase at the same time, which is why a course of treatments is essential for long-term results.
The Elite iQ system features two complementary laser wavelengths, allowing us to customise treatment for every skin tone and hair type safely and effectively.
This combination of dual wavelengths and intelligent melanin sensing makes the Elite iQ one of the most versatile and safe laser hair removal systems available, suitable for every skin tone and hair type.
Laser hair removal offers more than just aesthetic improvement. Patients often choose this treatment at Omniya Clinic for the following reasons:
varies per patient
Elite IQ’s Nd:YAG wavelength penetrates deeper, bypassing epidermal pigment and making it safe for Fitzpatrick IV–VI. The Skintel reader ensures optimal settings.
Laser is particularly effective for the dense, coarse hair often caused by hormonal conditions. Expect a slightly higher session count and ongoing maintenance to keep results.
We never laser directly over a tattoo or raised mole. During treatment we cover tattoos with a medical dressing or work around them to prevent pigment reaction.
Laser hair removal is not performed during pregnancy and usually deferred until after breastfeeding. We can plan your schedule around these life stages.
Avoid sunbeds and fake tan.
Stop waxing, plucking, threading or epilation (shaving is fine).
Pause active skincare on the area (retinoids, AHAs/BHAs).
Shave the treatment area so the laser can target the root beneath the skin.
Arrive with clean, product-free skin – no deodorant, lotion or make-up on the area.
We perform a free patch test to confirm suitability and fine-tune your settings.
After you have had laser hair removal, avoid doing any forms of physical exercise. You also need to avoid the sauna, steam room, and gym. In addition, you should make sure you don’t touch the area that has been treated either.
For most people, the hair will start to fall out between five and 14 days after they have had the treatment.
The aim is to target the hair follicle during the growth cycle, which is why it is a good idea to space out the treatments a little bit. Your practitioner will make recommendations regarding this.
In most cases, between six and eight treatments are going to be enough. However, everyone is different, which is why you need to consult an expert for a timeline.
For facial hair, treatment is usually carried out every four to six weeks.
It is advisable to shave before your laser hair removal treatment. This is because the laser needs to target the follicle of the hair, and so shaving assists with this. Not only is freshly shaved skin best in terms of the effectiveness of treatment, but the laser could also burn your skin if your hair is too long. This is why you don’t want hair above the skin, but you do want it in the follicle. Because of this, waxing is not recommended.
Most people do not experience any side effects as a consequence of laser hair removal. Nevertheless, all treatments do have some side effects, and so it is important to be aware of them. Most side effects are temporary and minor. Anyone who experiences lasting side effects should speak with their practitioner as soon as possible. Below are some of the side-effects that could arise:
A risk of skin infection
As is the case with all forms of cosmetic hair removal, there is the risk of an infection if you use a laser to damage hair follicles. The impacted area needs to be treated while the wound is healing. If you notice any signs of infection, give us a call and we will help. If an infection does arise, do not apply over-the-counter antibiotic creams to large areas of the skin. Instead, one of our practitioners will be able to recommend the right course of treatment should an infection arise, although this is very rare.
Changes in skin colour
Some people may notice small changes to the colour of their skin. It could get a little bit lighter or darker after their treatment. People with darker skin tones are more likely to experience lighter pigmentation changes, whereas those with lighter skin are more likely to experience darker pigmentation changes. The skin will return to normal over time.
Crusting
Some people may also experience skin crusting in the area that has been impacted. This can be inconvenient but it is a minor issue. It can sometimes cause scabbing. However, by using a moisturiser and taking care of the treated area, you can prevent any lasting problems in this regard.
Irritation and redness
Some people can experience a little bit of irritation and redness in the areas that have been impacted. The skin may feel tender or tingle. In some cases, it may appear to swell a little bit. The symptoms are typically short-lived. However, if they do persist, please get in touch with us as soon as possible.
Medical-grade lasers with single, precise wavelengths (not IPL) give the most reliable results. Cynosure Elite IQ, used at Omniya, combines Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths and a Skintel Melanin Reader for safe treatment on all skin tones, outperforming most single-platform lasers.
For safety, we postpone treatment until after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Most clients find it much less painful than waxing, describing a brief “snap” with a cooling sensation.
After a full course, most people need one maintenance session every 6–12 months. Hormonal changes may require more.
During your consultation, we will advise you on the best treatments and products to use at home.
