Areas That Can Be Treated
BBL Hair Removal may be performed on various areas of the face and body, including:
Upper lip
Chin
Jawline and beard
Underarms
Arms
Chest
Abdomen
Back
Bikini line
Brazilian area
Legs
Treatment plans are tailored according to the treatment area, hair density, hair colour and skin type.
Why Choose BBL Hair Removal?
Traditional hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing and plucking provide temporary results and require ongoing maintenance. Light-based hair removal works differently by targeting the hair follicle itself.
Potential benefits include:
Reduction in unwanted
hair growth
Reduced frequency of shaving or waxing
Smoother skin texture
Management of
ingrown hairs

Tanned skin limits energy settings
Genetics
Some individuals are more prone to hair growth

A consultation helps determine which therapies would best address your aesthetic concerns. We recommend consulting a medical professional for a tailored treatment plan.
What Is The Downtime For BBL Hair Removal?
Downtime is generally minimal, with most people returning to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Common Side Effects:
Mild Redness
Temporary redness around the treated area may occur and typically settles within several hours.
Perifollicular
Swelling
Small bumps around individual hair follicles may appear temporarily and are often a normal treatment response.
Warmth
The skin may feel mildly warm or sensitive immediately after treatment.
Hair Shedding
Treated hairs may gradually shed over the following 1–3 weeks.
What Is The Aftercare Required After Hair Removal?
To support recovery following treatment:
Sun Protection
Daily sunscreen use is recommended, particularly for exposed treatment areas.
Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot baths and vigorous exercise for
24–48 hours.
Gentle Skincare
Use gentle skincare products and avoid harsh exfoliants if the skin feels sensitive.
Avoid Plucking Or Waxing
Between sessions, shaving is generally preferred. Plucking or waxing removes the hair root and may reduce the effectiveness of subsequent treatments.
What to Expect During Your Journey

The Shedding Phase
Over the following 1–3 weeks, treated hairs gradually shed from the skin. This is a normal part of the treatment process.
The Treatment
Protective eyewear is provided before treatment begins. The BBL handpiece is passed across the treatment area, delivering pulses of light to target hair follicles.
Most individuals describe the sensation as a brief feeling of warmth or a mild snapping sensation.

Progressive Reduction
A detailed assessment is performed to evaluate your skin type, hair colour, hair density and treatment goals. A personalised treatment plan is developed based on your needs.
Mild redness or swelling around hair follicles may occur and typically settles within hours to days.
As additional follicles enter the growth phase and are treated during subsequent sessions, a progressive reduction in hair growth may be observed over time.
