Laser Hair Removal

Most clients achieve their best results within 8 to 12 sessions. Hair grows in different cycles, and the laser can only target follicles in the active growth phase, which is why multiple sessions are essential. Your personalised treatment plan at PhiBeauty will be designed around your skin type, hair growth pattern, and goals.

Most clients describe the sensation as a mild warmth or a light snapping feeling — similar to a gentle flick against the skin. At PhiBeauty, our Candela GentleMax Pro Plus system is equipped with an advanced integrated cooling technology that significantly reduces discomfort throughout each session, making the experience as comfortable as possible.

Yes. At PhiBeauty, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, a TGA-approved, medical-grade laser system that is safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I–VI). Our certified laser and dermal therapy specialists personalise every session based on your skin and hair profile to ensure the highest standards of safety and care.

Absolutely. Laser hair removal is one of the most effective solutions for ingrown hairs. By targeting and gradually destroying the hair follicle, laser treatments prevent the hair from regrowing and curling back into the skin, making it especially popular for areas like the bikini line, underarms, and beard area.

Almost any area of the face and body can be treated. At PhiBeauty, popular treatment areas include the upper lip, chin, full face, neck, underarms, arms, stomach, back, chest, Brazilian, bikini line, buttocks, half legs, and full legs. We offer both female and male packages, including full-body treatment options.

Session duration varies depending on the treatment area. Underarms typically take around 10 minutes, while a full-body session can take up to 45–60 minutes. We recommend arriving a few minutes early so your skin can be properly prepared before the laser is applied.

Yes, laser hair removal is just as effective for men. At PhiBeauty, we offer dedicated male treatment packages covering the back, chest, stomach, arms, legs, beard line, Brazilian, and full body. Male-specific pricing and bundles are available, including full-body male packages starting from $549.

Laser hair removal is not recommended during pregnancy. As a precaution, we advise clients to postpone their sessions until after they have finished breastfeeding as well. If you become pregnant during your treatment course, please let our team know and we will pause your sessions safely.

To get the best results and ensure your safety, please follow these key steps before your session: avoid sun exposure and tanning for 3–4 weeks beforehand; shave the treatment area 4–24 hours prior (but do not wax, pluck, or epilate for at least 6 weeks); avoid retinoids, AHAs, and exfoliants on the area for 5–7 days; and arrive with clean, product-free skin on the day of your appointment.

Yes, shaving between sessions is perfectly fine and actually encouraged. It is important, however, to avoid waxing, threading, plucking, or using epilators between appointments, as these methods remove the hair follicle that the laser needs to target during your next session.

Our Candela GentleMax Pro Plus technology is suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types, from very fair (Type I) to very dark (Type VI). PhiBeauty offers specialised treatments tailored to dark skin, olive skin, brown skin, Asian skin, Indian skin, and sensitive skin — each with personalised laser settings to ensure safe and effective results.

At PhiBeauty, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus — widely regarded as one of the most advanced medical-grade laser systems available. It combines two wavelengths (755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG) to treat a wide range of skin tones and hair types with precision. Its built-in Dynamic Cooling Device (DCC) makes treatments significantly more comfortable.

Pricing at PhiBeauty is transparent and competitive. Single sessions start from $25 for underarms, with full-body female packages from $336 and full-body male packages from $411. Multi-session bundles of 3 or 6 are available at discounted rates. A full pricing breakdown is available on our website with no hidden costs.

Side effects are generally mild and temporary. After a session, some clients experience slight redness or warmth in the treated area, which typically fades within a few hours. Serious side effects are rare when treatment is performed by qualified specialists using appropriate technology. Our team will advise you on aftercare to minimise any risk.

When performed correctly by trained professionals using calibrated, medical-grade equipment, the risk of burns is very low. At PhiBeauty, our certified specialists perform a thorough skin assessment before every session and adjust laser settings to match your individual skin type and tone. We never use a one-size-fits-all approach.

Many clients begin noticing hair shedding and reduced regrowth after their first or second session. Visible smoothness typically becomes more apparent from session 3–4 onwards. Because hair grows in cycles, results build progressively throughout your course of treatment, with the most significant reduction seen after completing your full recommended sessions.

Yes, facial laser hair removal is one of our most requested services. We treat the upper lip, chin, full face, jawline, cheeks, eyebrows, ears, and neck — for both women and men. Facial treatments are precise and are customised to your facial hair pattern and skin sensitivity.

The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus is widely trusted in the medical aesthetics industry because it combines two proven wavelengths in one platform, making it effective across all skin types and hair colours. Its precision, safety record, integrated cooling system, and ability to deliver long-lasting results with minimal discomfort make it the preferred choice among dermal therapy clinics worldwide — and at PhiBeauty Melbourne.
