Laser hair removal at Fresh Clinics Melbourne targets melanin in the hair follicle's bulb and bulge regions, delivering light energy that is selectively absorbed by the pigmented hair shaft and converted to heat, which thermally disables the follicle's growth capacity. The treatment achieves permanent hair reduction — a recognised reduction in the number, thickness, and regrowth rate of treated hairs — across a course of sessions timed to the hair growth cycle, as only follicles in the active anagen growth phase respond fully to each treatment. At the St Kilda, Melbourne clinic, a range of treatment areas is available to suit different patient concerns: small facial areas including the upper lip and chin from $75 AUD per session; full-face coverage from $100 AUD; underarms from $70 AUD — one of the most popular entry areas for first-time patients; half-leg coverage from $180 AUD; full legs from $260 AUD; and back from $240 AUD. Multiple sessions are required because hair follicles cycle asynchronously — typically six to eight sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart are recommended for the lower body, with facial areas often requiring more frequent initial sessions. Between-session maintenance is minimal: patients are advised to avoid sun exposure on treated areas and to shave (not wax or pluck) between appointments to preserve the follicle structure needed for effective laser targeting. Patients with active tan or darker Fitzpatrick skin types are assessed individually to determine the appropriate device settings and session intervals that ensure safe, effective treatment across the Melbourne clinic population.
