How Laser Hair Removal Works
Depending on the wavelength, the laser either heats the follicle or blocks the capillaries that feed it. We run all three wavelengths — so there's a safe option for every skin tone.
Prices, areas and the studio itself: laser hair removal in Bali.
Three lasers — one is right for you
Alexandrite
Light skin, dark hair. Reacts strongly to pigment — the most effective choice for contrast combinations. Not suitable for tanned or dark skin.
Diode
Medium skin tones and most hair colors. The reliable all-rounder between the two extremes.
YAG
Dark or tanned skin. Doesn't react to pigment — instead it closes the capillaries that nourish the follicle. That's why we can safely treat you even after the beach.

Skin tone, hair color and the right wavelength
Dermatologists describe skin tone on the Fitzpatrick scale — six steps, from very fair to deeply pigmented. Each of our three lasers works at its own wavelength, and each one is built for a different part of that scale.
| Laser | Wavelength | Built for |
|---|---|---|
| Alexandrite | 755nm | Light skin, dark hair |
| Diode | 808nm | Medium skin tones, most hair colors |
| Nd:YAG | 1064nm | Dark or tanned skin |
Which laser you get, and at what power, comes from your skin test rather than from a table. The test takes 15 minutes and it’s free.
Fresh sunburn is the exception: we won’t treat over it, because it would hurt.
What the laser can’t reach
The laser finds hair by its pigment, and by the blood supply feeding the follicle. That gives it two blind spots, and it’s fair to know them before you book.
Very light hair
Gray, white, true red and the palest blond carry little or no pigment. On those hairs the result is weak, and sometimes there isn’t one.
Hair pulled out by the root
Wax, sugaring, threading and epilators take the root with them, and the laser is then aiming at an empty follicle. Ideally give it 10 days before your first session. If you waxed more recently, come anyway — the laser will simply work less well, and you will still see a result.
How long a session takes
| Spot, fingers, toes | 10 min |
|---|---|
| Chin & upper lip | 15 min |
| Bikini line · Under arms · Beard / Neck | 20 min |
| Bikini deep | 25 min |
| Tummy · Half-back · Half arms | 30 min |
| Half legs · Brazilian · Chest | 40 min |
| Full arms | 60 min |
| Full back · Chest + tummy | 70 min |
| Full legs | 75 min |
Why one session is never enough
Growth phases
The laser only affects hair in its active growth phase — at any moment, that's just part of your hair.
10–15% per session
Each treatment reduces hair growth by 10–15% in the treated area. The result builds up session by session.
5–6 week rhythm
The first 5 sessions work best every 5–6 weeks — this catches each new batch of hair in the right phase.
How it compares to what you’re doing now
| Smooth for | Ingrown hairs | |
|---|---|---|
| Razor | 1–3 days | Common |
| Wax, sugaring | 2–4 weeks | Common |
| Epilator | 2–3 weeks | Common |
| Laser | Builds up over a course | Rare after a course |
One more comparison is worth making, because the two get sold as the same thing. Laser and IPL aren’t the same. A laser delivers a single wavelength, aimed at one target. IPL is broadband light — many wavelengths at once, less selective, and not suitable for dark skin. Our three lasers are Alexandrite, Diode and Nd:YAG.
Quick answers
I'm tanned. Is it safe for me?
Yes. YAG works safely on dark and tanned skin because it doesn't target pigment. We confirm the choice with a free skin test.
Does it hurt?
There is some discomfort, but far less than waxing — our lasers use modern cooling. We can lower the power for extra comfort.
How many sessions will I need?
8–10 over a lifetime for lasting smoothness. Expect 10–15% hair reduction after each session.
Is your laser a Soprano?
No. Our platform is Oriental Laser, with technology similar to Soprano Ice: a sapphire lens with contact cooling and three wavelengths — Alexandrite, Diode and Nd:YAG — with Jenoptik laser bars from Germany. Come for a free skin test and see it for yourself.
How soon before the session should I shave?
Two days before is ideal — that leaves a short regrowth, just enough for the laser to find the follicle. Right before the session works too. And if you didn’t manage to shave at all, we’ll do it for you at the studio, free, with a disposable razor. It’s part of the treatment.
Do I need to stop waxing?
For the course, yes — switch to a razor. Ideally give it 10 days before your first session. If you waxed more recently, we’ll still treat you; the laser just works less well, because wax takes the root out and the laser needs it in place.
Is that the end of it after the course?
Almost. About 10% of the hair keeps growing, and new follicles appear over time, so most people come back for a single session every 4–5 months. For some, the hair doesn’t come back at all — it depends on your skin, and it’s very individual.
