Laser Hair Removal Melbourne: Cost, Results & What to Expect

If you’re searching “laser hair removal Melbourne” or “laser hair removal near me”, you’re likely looking for real results, clear pricing, and a clinic you can trust. This guide explains how laser hair removal works, what results to expect, how many sessions are usually needed, and why technology and experience matter - so you can feel informed before booking.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Laser hair removal targets the hair follicle beneath the skin to gradually reduce regrowth. At Skin by Shiba, we use SHR (Super Hair Removal) technology, which delivers energy gradually while continuously cooling the skin.

This allows treatments to be:

  • Virtually pain free

  • Safe for all skin tones

  • Safe on tanned and fake-tanned skin

  • Effective on both coarse and finer hair

Because energy is delivered gradually rather than in single harsh pulses, treatments are more comfortable, consistent and no areas are ever missed.

Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?

For most areas, laser hair removal is virtually pain free.

Areas such as legs, arms, stomach, back and face are generally very comfortable and often described as feeling warm rather than painful.

You may feel a slight gentle heat or mild discomfort in more sensitive areas such as:

  • Brazilian

  • Underarms

Even in these areas, the built in cooling technology used with our laser machine helps keep treatments manageable and well tolerated.

When Will You See Results?

With this advanced technology, some clients notice results after just one session.
However, we usually recommend allowing 2–3 sessions to notice a significant reduction in hair growth.

For optimal, long-term results:

  • Most clients require 8–12 sessions

  • Treatments are typically spaced every 4–6 weeks

Hair regrowth becomes slower, finer and more patchy over time. Maintenance sessions may be recommended depending on individual hair growth.

Is Laser Hair Removal Worth the Cost?

Laser hair removal pricing depends on:

  • The areas being treated

  • The clinic you choose

  • Whether you choose individual areas or a bundle

  • How many sessions you need overall

If you’ve compared clinics, you may notice laser prices vary widely. This is usually due to:

  • The technology being used

  • Treatment time and coverage

  • Whether the clinic specialises in laser or offers multiple services

Many clients choose laser because:

  • It reduces ongoing shaving and waxing costs

  • Results improve progressively over time

  • Skin feels smoother with less irritation. Many clients find confidence and comfort knowing they don’t have to worry about hair regrowth in visible areas. This psychological benefit is huge and often overlooked.

While laser is an investment, it often becomes more cost-effective long-term compared to regular waxing, shaving products, or salon appointments - and delivers far better results.

How Many Sessions Will You Need?

  • 8–12 sessions

  • Treatments spaced every 4–6 weeks

Some clients notice results early, but consistent sessions deliver the best long-term reduction.
