As the weather becomes cooler, we urge our clients to have their Laser Hair Removal underway. Winter is the best season to have your treatment as you generally do not expose your treated area to the sun nearly as much as you would during the summer months.
When you attend your initial consult at either Laser Hair Removal At The Bay or On Unley, you will be provided with all of the information about Laser Hair Removal, things that you want to know and things that you need to know.
One thing you need to know is that whilst having Laser Hair Removal treatment, the area you are having treated will be significantly more sensitive to the sun. As a part of your post treatment care, the nurses here at Laser Hair Removal At The Bay and On Unley advise their clients to be diligent with sunscreen and if possible, to avoid sun exposure to the areas they are having treated.
Laser Hair Removal At The Bay and On Unley tend to avoid treating someone who is regularly using sun tanning solariums, has a spray/fake tan or is tanned after a holiday or just from laying in the sun. Clients with darker skin are at a higher risk of complication during laser hair removal treatment as the laser targets the melanin (colour) in the hair follicle. When dark skin accompanies this, it can be much more difficult to treat and can cause hypo pigmentation or hyper pigmentation (lightening and darkening of the skin).
At Laser Hair Removal At The Bay and On Unley we only employ nurses who are all extensively trained to treat dark skinned clients. Some of our nurses have completed specialised training in the USA for treating clients with dark skin. This education is not available in Australia. Our nurses are not only trained on the equipment but are also aware of the risks and factors associated with laser hair removal.
For these reasons, beginning or commencing your Laser Hair Removal treatment in the cooler months is a great way to not only ensure your safety by avoiding the sun but also to prepare you for the warmer months where you can have a lovely hairless Summer!
Both Laser Hair Removal At The Bay and On Unley sell a number of sunscreens, suitable for all different skin types. Ask us for more information next time you are in the clinic.

- Laser Hair Removal
Lasers continue to revolutionise the field of aesthetic surgery, treating everything from deep wrinkles to disfiguring birthmarks, tattoos, age spots and facial and leg veins.
Now specially engineered lasers are combating excess unwanted hair – effectively removing it much faster, more reliably and more comfortably than standard methods like electrolysis, waxing, shaving, depilatory creams and many others.

- Dermaplaning
- What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation procedure of the skin. It requires the use of a sterile, surgical blade to gently "shave" the skin's surface, removing the top-most outer layer of dead skin along with fine, vellus hair (peach fuzz). The procedure can be performed monthly, in less than 45 minutes, with no downtime post-treatment. Dermaplaning is only performed on the face; however, it is not meant to be used to shape eyebrows, which are made up of "terminal" (not vellus) hairs.
Dermaplaning may also be referred to as dermablading and epidermal levelling.
