Permanent Hair Removal
Laser & Electrolysis
Say goodbye to unwanted hair for good. Two proven methods — laser for fast results on dark hair, and electrolysis for all hair colours and skin tones. Expert practitioners, proven results, transparent pricing.
The Right Method for You
Choose the Right
Hair Removal Method
Tired of shaving, waxing, and plucking? Permanent hair removal eliminates unwanted hair for good, saving you time, money, and frustration. At Vale Laser, we offer two clinically proven methods:
Laser Hair Removal
Targeted light energy destroys hair follicles — delivering 80–95% permanent reduction in 6–8 sessions. Fast, effective, and ideal for large areas with dark hair.
Electrolysis Hair Removal
A fine probe permanently destroys individual follicles. Works on ALL hair colours including blonde, red, grey, and white — the only FDA-approved method for true permanent removal.
Not sure which is right for you? Both deliver permanent results — the best choice depends on your hair colour, skin tone, treatment area, and goals.

Making the Right Choice
Choosing Your
Hair Removal Method
Choose Laser If…
- You have dark hair (brown or black)
- You want to treat large areas (legs, back, arms, chest)
- You prefer faster treatment sessions
- You want significant reduction in 6–8 sessions
- Dark hair is your primary concern
Choose Electrolysis If…
- You have blonde, red, grey, or white hair
- You want to treat small, precise areas
- You have very dark skin (where laser carries higher risk)
- You need true permanent removal (not just reduction)
- You're completing facial feminisation
- You want to remove stray hairs after laser treatment
Many Clients Use Both
Laser for large areas and dark hair (legs, underarms, bikini) — then Electrolysis for light-coloured hairs or finishing work (stray blonde hairs, complete facial clearance). This combination approach often delivers the best overall results.

Expert Facial Hair Removal
for Transgender Clients
Vale Laser specialises in permanent hair removal for transgender clients, particularly facial feminisation. We understand the unique challenges of removing dense, hormonally-driven facial hair and provide experienced, compassionate, judgment-free care.
Step 1 — Laser First (dark hair)
Removes the majority of dark hair quickly (6–10 sessions). Significantly faster and more cost-effective for bulk removal. Reduces dense growth before electrolysis.
Step 2 — Electrolysis for Complete Clearance
Removes remaining light-coloured hairs laser cannot treat. Achieves true permanent removal of every single hair. Essential for complete facial feminisation. 30–100+ hours typical for full beard removal.
