What machine do you use for Laser Hair Removal?At Visage Clinics Australia, we only use safe and effective machines to ensure you achieve the results you are after. That's why we use Candela Gentlemax Pro. This TGA approved, medical-grade machine integrates both Alexandrite & YAG technology, meaning, no matter what your skin colour, we will be able to treat you! To enhance your experience, we use the Zimmer advanced cooling system that simultaneously operates as we treat you. This allows your skin to cool down during the process of laser hair reduction.

However, this depends on the type of skin and hair, hormone levels, response to laser hair removal and other factors such as taking certain supplements. We are confident you will see the results after the first session.

For best results, annual maintenance therapy is recommended for several years.
