A step-by-step look at what happens during your laser hair removal treatment at our Waterfall clinic.
Roxy assesses your skin tone, hair colour, and hair type to confirm suitability and design the safest, most effective treatment protocol for you. No commitment required.
The area must be freshly shaved before your session — the laser targets the follicle beneath the skin, not surface hair. Roxy will advise you on exact timing before your appointment.
The diode laser handpiece is passed over the treatment area in systematic sections. The 800–810nm wavelength is absorbed by the melanin in each follicle, converting to heat that permanently damages it.
Our laser system incorporates built-in cooling to protect the surrounding skin and keep you comfortable throughout. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snap or warmth — far more comfortable than waxing.
A soothing gel is applied to calm any redness or warmth post-treatment. The area may look slightly pink for a few hours — this is completely normal and resolves quickly.
Roxy walks you through simple aftercare and books your next session at the optimal 4–6 week interval — timed to catch follicles in their active growth phase for maximum effectiveness.
We treat virtually any area of the body — from small facial zones to full legs and everything in between.
One of the most popular laser hair removal treatments. Full legs, half legs, or lower legs — smooth, hair-free skin without ever shaving again.
Fast to treat and highly effective — underarm laser hair removal typically requires fewer sessions than larger areas. Say goodbye to daily shaving and ingrown hairs.
From a standard bikini line to a full Brazilian — permanent hair reduction in sensitive areas with comfort and precision. A long-term solution that saves time and money.
Precise facial hair removal for women and men — upper lip, chin, sideburns, jawline, and neck. Small facial zones that make a big difference to confidence.
Larger body areas treated efficiently — back, chest, shoulders and stomach. Popular with male clients wanting lasting, low-maintenance results.
Full arms, forearms, or hands — laser hair removal for smooth, hair-free arms that last. A game-changer for clients who've struggled with dark or coarse arm hair.
Not all laser hair removal is the same. Here's why Roxy uses diode laser technology and why it delivers superior results.
Diode laser uses a single, precise 800–810nm wavelength targeting melanin in the follicle with far greater accuracy than IPL's broad-spectrum light — delivering faster, more permanent results with fewer sessions.
The 800–810nm diode wavelength is effective across a wider range of skin tones — including darker complexions common in KwaZulu-Natal — with a lower risk of pigmentation side effects than shorter-wavelength lasers.
Diode laser permanently destroys the hair follicle. Over a full course, most clients achieve 80–90% permanent hair reduction. Maintenance sessions may be needed for hormonal regrowth.
Modern diode systems cover larger areas faster than older technologies — a full leg treatment completed in a fraction of the time it would take with IPL or older laser systems.
Built-in cooling keeps the skin surface cool during treatment — significantly more comfortable than older laser systems and far less painful than waxing.
Every laser treatment is performed by Roxy Buchanan personally — a certified advanced skin therapist with 15+ years of experience. Safety, precision, and results you can trust.
A clear, honest timeline of your laser hair removal journey from first consultation to final results.
Roxy assesses your skin tone, hair type, and medical history to confirm suitability. She'll explain the process, answer your questions, and design a personalised treatment plan — no obligation.
Stop waxing, plucking, and threading at least 2 weeks before your first session — the laser needs the follicle to be intact. Shaving is fine and encouraged right up to the day before your appointment.
Arrive with the area freshly shaved and clean — no creams, deodorants or perfumes. Treatment takes 10 minutes (underarms) to 60+ minutes (full legs). You'll feel mild warmth or snapping during the session.
The treated area may appear red or feel like mild sunburn for a few hours — this is normal and resolves quickly. Avoid heat, sun exposure, and sweating for 24–48 hours post-treatment.
Treated hairs begin to shed naturally over 1–3 weeks — this is the laser working. Do not wax or pluck — allow them to fall out on their own.
After completing your full course, most clients achieve 80–90% permanent hair reduction. Any remaining hair is typically finer and lighter. Occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended.
Following the right aftercare protects your skin and maximises your results after each session in Waterfall.
Sun protection is essential after laser treatment. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning on any treated areas exposed to sunlight — especially the face.
Apply cool water or aloe vera gel if the area feels warm or sensitive after treatment. Keep the skin clean and avoid tight clothing over freshly treated areas.
Shaving is the only hair removal method permitted between laser sessions. It doesn't affect the follicle — so your laser treatment remains fully effective.
Keep the treated skin well moisturised between sessions with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser. Hydrated skin responds better to laser treatment.
Never wax, pluck, or thread between laser sessions — removing the follicle means the laser has nothing to target. Shaving only throughout your full course of treatment.
Avoid direct sun and sunbeds for at least 2 weeks before and after each session. Tanned skin increases the risk of pigmentation changes and reduces laser effectiveness.
Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot baths, and intense exercise for 48 hours after treatment. Heat can irritate the treated skin and increase the risk of adverse reactions.
Avoid applying perfumes, deodorants, or scented products to treated areas for 24–48 hours post-treatment. These can irritate sensitised post-laser skin.
