Laser Hair Removal

Experience the Best Laser Hair Removal in Melbourne at Richmond Skin & Laser Clinic!

When it comes to laser hair removal, not all treatments are created equal. Many clinics mistakenly advertise IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) as laser hair removal, but the truth is, IPL is not a true laser. At Richmond Skin & Laser Clinic, we use Grade 4 Medical Laser Technology, ensuring superior results, fewer treatments, and long-lasting smooth skin.

Unlike some practitioners who use lower laser settings—whether due to lack of experience, qualifications, or a business model designed to keep you coming back for more—we prioritize precision, effectiveness, and safety.

With every session, you should notice slower regrowth and visible reduction in hair, with some areas achieving optimal results in as few as four treatments.

If you’re looking for the most advanced, effective, and professional laser hair removal in Melbourne, Richmond Skin & Laser Clinic is your go-to destination.

Faqs

Yes, the results are permanent! Once a hair follicle has been successfully treated, it will never return. Studies show that more that 85% of our clients have had permanent hair removal of 80% or more.

A laser skin treatment gives permanent results and allows you to treat large areas such as full legs, arms or a full back in a short period of time.* Other advantages of Candela laser hair removal treatments include:

  • Regain your confidence
  • Save time by not having to wax or shave so frequently.
  • Ingrown hairs are permanently removed*
  • Save money over time as waxing is more frequent and needs to be done over many more years.
  • Reduce and prevent scarring from ingrown hairs

All areas of the body except the inner ear and areas in close proximity to the eyes can be treated safely. Common treatment areas include the upper lip and chin, full legs, bikini, underarms, back and chest. We also offer Brazilian laser hair removal treatments at our Melbourne clinics.

Most clients describe this laser skin treatment as mildly uncomfortable, not unlike “the flick of an elastic band” which is a common description used. For those who find the procedure uncomfortable, a topical anesthetic is available.

Most clients undertake 4-8 Candela laser hair removal treatments to achieve the optimal results (permanent hair removal of 80% or greater)

It is normal to experience some redness of the skin and some mild swelling which typically lasts 1-24 hours. In rare instances, the redness may last a few days and there could be some grazing or ‘scabbing’ which typically subsides over a short period of time. Most people who undergo hair laser removal in Melbourne with us are able to return to normal activity immediately.

Be aware of hair removal systems that use traditional light for treatment. Intense Pulse Light machines (or IPLs) are not true hair removal lasers. These devices use a concentrated beam of traditional incoherent light, often in conjunction with a cream or gel, to burn the hair shaft.
A serious flaw with IPL vs laser hair removal is that IPL lacks the laser’s ability to produce a selective bandwidth of light that will only affect the hair shaft (selective phot thermolysis). These devices produce a wide bandwidth of light that can heat up all of the surrounding tissue as well as the hair follicle itself.
IPLs are generally cheaper devices and are used for various skin procedures first and foremost, with hair removal as more of an afterthought. Judging from consumer feedback, true lasers usually achieve better and faster results for hair removal purposes. Most clinics do not use a true laser for hair removal, and try to claim that IPL is an equal substitute. Be sure the treatment you choose is with a laser and not an IPL.
