Female & male menus, permanent reduction — Lambton Quay
Laser hair removal at Glowe Aesthetics targets the hair follicle directly, reducing regrowth permanently over a course of 6 to 8 sessions. Best results come from darker hair against lighter skin, but modern laser systems can treat a wider range of skin and hair combinations than older devices — we confirm suitability with a patch test at your consultation.
Per-session pricing covers every area from back-of-neck and bikini up to full-body packages. Plan to space sessions 4 to 6 weeks apart while you're active in the course; after that, occasional touch-ups maintain results.

Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle, heating and damaging it enough that it stops producing new hair. Because hair grows in cycles and only actively-growing hairs respond, you need multiple sessions to catch all the follicles across their phases.
Typical course: 6 to 8 sessions, 4 to 6 weeks apart. Coarser, darker areas (underarms, bikini) often respond fastest. Finer leg and arm hair may need more sessions.
Before each session: shave the area 24 hours before (not the day of), avoid sun and tanning 4 weeks prior, no waxing or plucking between sessions.
After: mild redness for an hour or two. Avoid sun, hot showers and exercise for 24 hours. SPF is essential.
Prices are per-session. Most clients require 6–8 sessions for permanent reduction.
Per-session pricing at Glowe starts at $30 for back of neck. Bikini $36, brazilian $72, half leg $72, full leg $120, full body $270 (female) / $282 (male). Most clients need a course of 6-8 sessions for permanent reduction.
Most clients need 6 to 8 sessions for permanent hair reduction, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles and only actively-growing hairs respond to laser, so multiple sessions catch all hairs across their growth phases. Coarser, darker hair (underarms, bikini) often responds faster; finer hair on legs and arms may need more sessions.
Laser works best on darker hair against lighter skin, where there's strong contrast between hair pigment and skin. Very fine, blonde, red, white or grey hair doesn't respond well because the laser needs pigment to target. Modern laser systems can safely treat a wider range of skin tones than older devices, but a patch test at consultation confirms suitability for your specific skin.
Shave the area 24 hours before — not the morning of. Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for 4 weeks before. No waxing, plucking or threading between sessions (these remove the hair root the laser needs to target). On the day, arrive with clean, product-free skin.
Waxing is a one-off treatment lasting 3-5 weeks, works on any hair colour, and is cheaper per session. Laser is a course of treatments with permanent reduction as the goal, works best on darker hair, and costs more upfront but less over time. If you're committed to long-term hair removal, laser. If you want immediate, occasional treatment, waxing.
First-time clients: we patch test before starting a course to confirm suitability.
