At Ana’s Beauty Parlour, We Help You Get the Best Results—Safely and Confidently

Laser hair removal has become one of the most popular aesthetic treatments worldwide—and for good reason. It's safe, effective, and can drastically reduce unwanted hair. But despite its popularity, there are still many myths and misconceptions floating around that can confuse or even discourage people from giving it a try.

At Ana’s Beauty Parlour, we're all about clarity, confidence, and care. We believe in managing expectations honestly, offering expert advice, and walking with you every step of the way. That’s why we’re debunking some of the biggest myths about laser hair removal—and sharing our special care recipe to help you get the most out of every session.


Myth #1: Laser Hair Removal Works in Just One Session

Truth: While many see noticeable results after the first session, laser hair removal is a process. Hair grows in cycles, and the laser is only effective during the active growth phase. That’s why 6 to 8 sessions (spaced a few weeks apart) are usually needed for optimal results.

At Ana’s Beauty Parlour, we educate our clients about this from day one and customise your treatment plan based on your skin type, hair density, and goals.

Myth #2: It Removes Hair Forever

Truth: Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction, not guaranteed permanent removal. Many clients experience up to 90% hair reduction, and the remaining hair is often finer and lighter. Occasional maintenance sessions may be needed.

At Ana’s Beauty Parlour, we’re transparent about expected results, and we offer maintenance packages so you’re always in control of your results.

Myth #3: It’s Only for People with Light Skin and Dark Hair

Truth: That may have been true in the past, but modern laser technology now works on a much broader range of skin tones and hair types. The key is using the right equipment and technique.

We use safe, advanced technology suitable for a diverse range of clients, and our technicians are fully trained in treating all skin tones with care.


Myth #4: It’s Painful and Risky

Truth: Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snap, like a rubber band. Discomfort is minimal, and side effects are rare when performed by professionals.

At Ana’s Beauty Parlour, Comfort is a top priority. We guide you through each session and use techniques to minimise discomfort, including cooling systems and soothing post-care.

The Ana’s Beauty Parlour Care Recipe: Pre-Session & Aftercare Tips

We’ve developed a simple yet effective care routine to help you maximise your results and minimise irritation:

Before Your Session:

  • Ensure there is no hair in the area

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for 1–2 weeks.

  • Skip harsh skincare products (like retinol or glycolic acid) a few days before treatment.

After Your Session:

  • Apply aloe vera or a calming cream to soothe the skin.

  • Avoid hot showers, saunas, and tight clothing for 24–48 hours.

  • Stay out of the sun and use a high-SPF sunscreen if outdoors.

  • Exfoliate after 3 days of the treatment.



We provide every client with a personalised guide so you can feel confident in your at-home care between sessions.


Final Word: Your Confidence, Our Expertise

At Ana’s Beauty Parlour, laser hair removal isn’t just about the treatment—it’s about the trust and transformation that comes with it. We’re not here to promise miracles—we’re here to deliver results with honesty, skill, and a touch of pampering.
