• Laser License Hair Removal on the Sunshine Coast

    Tired of constantly shaving, waxing or dealing with unwanted hair? Coastal Skin Clinic offers laser hair reduction designed to help reduce unwanted hair and leave your skin feeling smoother for longer.

    Our treatments use laser technology to target the pigment in the hair follicle. With a course of treatments, the hair can become finer, lighter and less noticeable over time.

    Laser hair removal is not an instant or permanent solution. Hair grows in different stages, which means multiple treatments are required to target hairs during their active growth phase.

  • How does Laser Hair Removal work?

    Laser energy is absorbed by pigment in the hair, allowing the energy to reach the hair follicle. This can interfere with the follicle’s ability to produce hair.

    Because not all hairs are in the same growth phase at the same time, treatments are spaced apart by 8 weeks to target different cycles of hair growth.

    Your treatment plan will depend on factors such as the area being treated, hair colour and thickness, skin type and your individual response to treatment.

  • Whats the difference between Laser and IPL Hair Removal

    Both IPL and laser can be used to reduce unwanted hair, but they work differently.

    IPL Laser
    • Uses a broad spectrum of light
    • Uses a specific wavelength of laser light
    • Energy is delivered across a range of wavelengths
    • Energy is more specifically targeted to the hair pigment
    • Less targeted
    • More targeted and concentrated
    • Can be effective for hair reduction
    • Designed for targeted hair reduction
    • May require a longer treatment course
    • Treatment requirements vary depending on the individual and treatment area

    Both technologies work by targeting pigment in the hair and using heat to affect the hair follicle.

    At Coastal Skin Clinic, we use laser diode technology for targeted hair reduction and tailor each treatment to your individual skin and hair type.

  • What can we treat?

    We offer laser hair reduction for a range of areas, including:

    • Underarms
    • Brazilian
    • Full legs
    • Half legs
    • Back
    • Shoulders
    • Chest
    • Abdomen
    • Arms
    • Other selected areas

    If you’re unsure whether an area is suitable for treatment, our team can discuss this with you before your appointment.

  • What should I expect?

    Before treatment, we’ll assess your skin and hair and make sure laser hair reduction is suitable for you.

    The treatment itself is quick and you may feel a warm or snapping sensation as the laser passes over the skin.

    After treatment, the area may feel warm or look slightly red. This usually settles shortly after treatment. You’ll be given simple aftercare instructions to follow.

  • How many treatments will I need?

    Laser hair reduction requires a course of treatments because hair grows in different stages. The laser is most effective when the hair is in its active growth phase.

    Most clients need multiple sessions, spaced several weeks apart. The number of treatments you need will depend on your hair, skin type and the area being treated.

    Results vary from person to person, and maintenance treatments may be needed over time.
