What it supports
Goals worth discussing clearly.
- Unwanted face or body hair
- Frequent shaving
- Ingrown-hair tendency
- Long-term maintenance reduction
Laser hair removal directs light energy toward pigment in eligible hair follicles. Hair grows in cycles, so a series is required to reach follicles during treatable growth phases.
Hair colour, skin tone, hormonal factors, area, device settings, and prior hair-removal methods all influence response. Fine, light, grey, white, or red hair may respond poorly.

Before you book
Candidacy, preparation, and care after.
How to prepare
Avoid tanning and unapproved light-sensitive products, shave as directed, and do not wax or tweeze during the treatment series unless the clinic advises otherwise.
Downtime & response
Temporary redness, warmth, swelling around follicles, sensitivity, or pigment change can occur. Sun exposure increases risk.
Aftercare
Cool and protect the skin as directed, avoid heat and friction temporarily, and use diligent broad-spectrum sun protection on exposed areas.
Consultation matters: A consultation is required to confirm suitability, treatment scope, expected downtime, and current pricing.
Your questions, answered
Laser Hair Removal FAQ.
01Why are multiple sessions needed?
Only follicles in certain growth phases respond at a given session, so treatment is spaced across several cycles.
02Which areas does Anima treat?
The current page lists common face and body areas. Exact areas and appointment times are confirmed in booking.
03Can every hair colour be treated?
No. Hair with little pigment, including white, grey, and some very light or red hair, may not respond well.
04Can I wax between sessions?
Waxing and tweezing remove the target from the follicle and are usually avoided during a series. Follow the clinic’s instructions.
05Is the reduction permanent?
Laser is generally described as long-term hair reduction. Hormones and new follicle activity can make maintenance necessary.
