Trust Caci for Laser Hair Removal Treatments

At Caci we are proud to be the originals! We first bought laser hair removal to New Zealand in 1994 and have performed over 276,000 treatments for over 27 years—so we know our stuff. 

We offer long-term hair removal with a Diode Laser. It's fast, treats a wide range of hair and skin tones plus it also has a cooling tip which means less pain! 

How it works

Laser hair removal with a Diode Laser works by passing a beam of light through the treated area where it is absorbed by the pigment in the hair shaft and follicle. This generates heat, which loosens the hair and also disables the cells involved in the hair growth to prevent future hairs from forming. 

If you are looking for a hair removal method that isn't messy or painful like waxing or electrolysis, then you have found it! Laser hair removal treatments are safe and quick, less painful and last longer than traditional hair removal treatments. 

Laser Hair Removal Treatment Areas

Laser hair removal can be used to treat a number of different areas. At Caci you can choose one area to target or build a custom treatment plan to tackle multiple areas with our hair removal membership: Freedom

Frequently Asked Questions

How does laser hair removal work?

At Caci we use a Diode Laser for long-term hair removal. A beam of light is passed through the targeted area, where it's absorbed by the pigment in the hair shaft and follicle. This generates heat, which loosens the hair and also disables the cells involved in hair growth to prevent future hairs from forming. 

How long does laser hair removal last?

Laser hair removal is a great way to remove hair permanently from your targeted areas. It may take a few treatments to see results (some see results after the first session - everyone is different) laser hair removal is considered a permanent hair loss treatment. Unlike traditional hair removal methods like waxing and shaving which remove the hair in one treatment, but allow hair to grow back quickly, laser treats the hair at a follicle level to prevent and reduce hairs from growing back. For more info, check out our guide on7 laser hair removal myths

How many laser hair removal treatments will I need? 

For best results, we recommend at least 8 laser hair removal treatments, with each treatment performed around 5-6 weeks apart.

You should start to see results after your second or third treatment – but it's important to note that the way the human body has been designed means it's impossible to remove 100% of unwanted hair. 

In some cases, we can remove up to 98% of hair, and the average person can expect at least up to an 80% removal. However, this is dependent on age, hair type, hormone levels, any existing medical conditions and other factors.  We recommend chatting to the team at Caci in a free consultation to discuss your desired result.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

No, for most people laser hair removal does not hurt. Most people describe the treatment as uncomfortable more than painful. The Diode laser has a cooling tip, making the treatment more comfortable. The level of discomfort varies between individuals and also depends on the area being treated - but at Caci we pride ourselves on performing the treatments quickly and safely, so it's over in no time! 

Is laser hair removal suitable for me?

The laser hair treatment works by targeting colour in the hair shaft and follicle – so we see the best results with darker hair. For that reason, blonde, red and grey hairs cannot be removed. Some underlying medical conditions and medications may exclude you from the treatment, as they make the results harder to predict. Have you completed our Laser hair removal quiz?

What happens during a laser hair treatment?

During the treatment, you and your treatment provider will wear special glasses, to ensure complete safety. Your treatment provider will also wear a face mask to ensure there is nothing transferred through the air while undertaking the treatment. You will be asked to lay down and get comfortable before starting the treatment. The Diode laser is faster than other treatments so you can be in and out in the space of a lunch break.

Pre and Post Treatment advice

Before your treatment

  • Shave or trim. If you're having VPL treatments: Trim 1-2 days before your treatment – 2mm of visible hair is enough to treat. If you’re having Diode treatments: Shave the area before your treatment. 
  • No wax. Do not pluck or wax between your laser hair removal treatments as this will disrupt the hair growth cycle and you may not receive the best results from your treatment.
  • Avoid direct sunlight. Remember to stay out of the sun and avoid tanning and fake tanning products before your treatment as it can impact the efficacy of your treatment, and may mean you need to reschedule your treatment.

After your treatment

  • Post care
    Treated skin may be pink or red following your treatment - it may feel like mild sunburn or windburn, this is normal. The redness may last up to 24 hours. If required, you can apply a cold compress, cold gel pack, or a soothing gel until symptoms subside. Treated areas may be temperature sensitive. Hot or humid weather conditions can aggravate the skin. Cool showers or baths may offer relief.
  • Things to avoid after laser hair removal treatments (there's a few!)
    Immediately after treatment, the treated area will be a bit more sensitive.
     We recommend avoiding the following: 
    - Makeup (we recommend mineral makeup only) 
    - Perfumed or fragranced products
    - Deodorant and bleaching cream having
    - Swimming, hot tubs and excessive exercise until the pinkness of the skin subsides.

    In short, it’s best to avoid all possible skin irritants or active products in the treatment area for 2 weeks before your next treatment. Do not pick or scratch the treated area as this may result in discolouration or damage. Keep the treated area clean and dry and avoid rubbing the treated area with exfoliating products, peels, brushes, loofah sponges and course face cloths until the treated skin has returned to normal. Tight-fitting clothing may also cause friction to the treated area. Keep the treated area clean and dry; avoid rough sports and tight clothing. Skip exercise until the day after your treatment. It is rare but possible that a graze, burn or blister may appear following treatment. Avoid exposing the treated area to the sun, sunbeds or self-tanning treatments, and protect treated skin with clothing and sunblock SPF 30+ between treatments.
  • Skincare
    Always apply an SPF sunscreen daily (one that is separate from your moisturiser or makeup).
