Can I get Laser Hair Removal if I have a tattoo?
Unfortunately, we cannot treat areas with a tattoo. The reason for this is because our laser technology picks up dark coloured pigment on or in the skin. Over time, your tattoo will fade for this reason.
Is it safe to get laser hair removal if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
As there is no conclusive study or research to say that laser hair removal is safe or unsafe, it would be best to consult your doctor before proceeding with treatment.
How often do I need to have a laser hair removal treatment?
Most people require treatments at 4-6 week intervals. The hair growth differs in each part of the body which means your hair loss is dependent on the phase your follicles are in at the time of the treatment. We recommend having at least 10 laser hair removal treatments for a more permanent result.
Can I get laser hair removal if I have dark skin?
Because of our highly advanced technology, we can treat most skin colours. Candela technology is designed to cater for both dark and light skin types, so for this we use two different machines. For medium to darker skin tones we use the Candela Gentle YAG Pro Series which helps to achieve the most effective result, whilst protecting the skin from any trauma.
At the time of your consultation, our highly qualified laser technicians will determine you skin type, allowing for the right machine to be used for your treatment. For individuals with light to medium skin, the Candela Gentle LASE Pro Series will be used for the treatment.
For anyone receiving laser hair removal, there will be a slight adjustment in the settings throughout the course to ensure you receive the optimal result.
What is included in the Female Brazilian laser hair removal treatment?
Our female brazilian treatment includes the hair removal from the whole pubic region, including the anus or inner buttocks area. You may choose to include or exclude areas if that is your preference.
What areas are included in the Full Body laser hair removal treatment?
The full body laser package includes all the areas from the hairline down to the toes. This package does not include the top of the head.
What machines do you use for laser hair removal treatments?
Evolution Laser Clinic uses highly advanced technology to treat most skin colours.
For Fair to Medium Skin, we use the Candela Gentle LASE Pro Series and for Medium to Dark Skin, we use the Candela Gentle YAG Pro Series. For maximum comfort to our clients, both laser machines provide constant cooling to protect the skin, making the treatment comfortable and virtually painless. Our state-of-the-art lasers set the gold standard for the best technology available for removing hair quickly and efficiently.
As these machines are medical grade lasers and FDA approved, they are safe no matter what areas you are treating.
Can I get laser hair removal if I have blonde hair?
Our laser technology is made to respond to pigment in the skin. Blonde, grey or white hair contains no pigment therefore, the laser will not pick the hair up and generally not respond to treatment.
In some cases, individuals may see some reduction of hair as they may have slight traces of pigment. It is best to come in for a consultation and our highly qualified laser technicians will determine whether you can be treated.
Is laser hair removal painful?
Our laser hair removal treatment is virtually painless when compared to waxing or plucking. Each pulse on the skin lasts for only a second and you may feel a slight tingle straight after.
In sensitive areas such as the face, lip or bikini, it may feel like a rubber band snap. This feeling will only last for a short time. For maximum comfort to our clients, both laser machines provide constant cooling to protect the skin, making the treatment comfortable and virtually painless.
How should I prepare for my laser hair removal appointment?
To prepare for your laser hair removal appointments, we ask that you do the following:
- Shave the area being treated 12-24 hours in advance
- Exfoliate to remove any dead skin or build up
- Do not wax or pluck the area 4 weeks before your appointment
- Remove any fake or sunless tanner from the skin
- Avoid excessive sun exposure on the area being treated for at least 2 weeks before your appointment (this includes solariums, tanning beds or tanning supplements)
- Refrain from receiving any skin resurfacing treatments (i.e. laser resurfacing, chemical peels or radio frequency)
- Avoid using perfume, creams or moisturisers on the area just before your appointment
Can I sit out in the sun straight after my laser hair removal treatment?
We recommend avoiding the sun or limiting sun exposure on the areas being treated for a minimum of 2-3 weeks post treatment. If you must be exposed to the sun, it is best to apply an SPF50+ to the area.
If you have been exposed to the sun, our therapists will determine before your treatment if it is safe for you to receive laser hair removal.
How old do you have to be to get laser hair removal?
We treat all men and women 16+ years of age. Anyone under the age of 18 must have a parent/guardian present or provide a written and signed consent form for them to receive the treatment.
What can I expect after my laser hair removal treatment is finished?
After your laser hair removal treatment, you may experience some discomfort and see slight redness on the skin. This reaction is completely normal and there is no need to worry. This will all subside up to 24 hours post treatment.

Skin Treatments
How do I know which treatment is best for me?
We offer complimentary consultations for all new and existing clients. Our therapists will conduct a skin analysis using our skin scanning technology and will recommend an appropriate treatment and product for you. It is our specialty to educate people on their skin type and how to maintain an appropriate skin care regime tailored to them.
How does skin tightening work?
Our specialised skin tightening treatment is designed to stimulate dermal collagen production and help with the regeneration of damaged skin cells. Using our Candela GentleYAG Laser
Technology, the heat energy injected into the skin penetrates deep whilst protecting the visible and upper layers, so as not to damage the skin.
The heat injected causes the collagen to contract which induces growth factors and stimulates new collagen synthesis, replacing the old collagen with new fibres that are more compact and organised, to give a less wrinkled appearance. This treatment is quick, comfortable and non-invasive with minimal downtime. Results are seen 3 months post treatments.
How long does it take for me to see results from my skin treatments?
As each of our skin treatments differ, the result time frame will vary. For our less invasive treatments which include, microdermabrasion, hydrodermabrasion and skin peels, the results are more immediate. Our more invasive treatments can take up to 3 months to show. These invasive treatments include; radio frequency, laser rejuvenation and skin needling.
These treatments have more lasting impacts than the less invasive treatments. Your therapist will create a treatment plan that will include a variety of treatments to address the skin concerns you wish to correct.
Will I feel pain during RF Skin Resurfacing and Skin Needling?
We have the option of topical anaesthetic which is applied before the treatment to minimise any discomfort you may feel during these skin treatments.
What is the difference between RF Skin Resurfacing and Skin Needling?
The similarity between these two treatments is that they both use small needles to cause a controlled wound in the skin to promote the production of collagen which is a natural healing response.
RF Skin Resurfacing uses radio frequency and dermal stamping technology to place heat effectively into the upper layer of the skin, where it produces an increase in both collagen and elastin with minimal disruption to the skin.
Skin Needling uses a mechanical pen to stimulate the collagen and elastin production.
Both skin treatments will give you a tightening effect.
How will I look straight after RF Skin Resurfacing and Skin Needling? Is there any downtime?
After having an invasive skin treatment, i.e. RF Skin Resurfacing and Skin Needling, you will experience slight redness in the skin. The redness is completely normal and will subside within a few hours. Besides the redness, there isn’t normally any downtime associated with these treatments and you can generally return to work afterwards.
After your treatment, our therapists will take you through a post-care treatment schedule to assist in the healing of your skin.
Why is aftercare product important to use after skin treatments?
Particularly after more invasive treatments, the use of product in your aftercare regime ensures you receive optimal results with little to no side effects.
Aftercare is important for all skin treatments, laser hair removal and even cosmetic aesthetics. Your aftercare pack will be tailored to you and your skin concerns.
Will my skin peel off after having a chemical peel and how long will it peel for?
We offer a variety of skin peels and each one contains a different level of intensity. Our lighter peels will show little to no shedding at all whilst our strong peels will show some shedding of the skin as it is deeply exfoliating.
The most appropriate skin peel will be prescribed to you upon your initial skin consultation. Our therapist will also talk you through the possible side effects and whether you may have some down time. Mild to moderate peeling is normal for 1-5 days post peel.
Can I have Hydrodermabrasion or Microdermabrasion during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Hydrodermabrasion and Microdermabrasion are approved treatments during pregnancy and breastfeeding, provided certain conditions are met.
- Treatments are not recommended during the first trimester
- Written clearance from the client’s GP or obstetrician is required prior to treatment
- Treatments should not be performed over the stomach or breast area
