Laser Hair Removal
Long-term hair reduction delivered with medical-grade precision. We use the Candela GentleMax Pro, the world's most trusted dual-wavelength laser platform, safe and effective across all skin types and tones.
The gold standard, for a reason.
Not all laser hair removal is the same. The technology matters. The operator matters. And the approach matters. At Sequoia Clinic, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro, the number one dermatologist-recommended laser platform for hair removal worldwide, backed by over 20 years of clinical evidence and proven performance across the full spectrum of skin types.
Safe for all skin types
Dual-wavelength technology allows your practitioner to select the right laser for your skin tone, from the lightest to the darkest Fitzpatrick types, with confidence and precision.
Built-in comfort
The GentleMax Pro's Dynamic Cooling Device delivers a burst of cryogen before each laser pulse, protecting the skin's surface and significantly reducing discomfort during treatment.
Fast and efficient
Large spot sizes and high pulse speeds allow your practitioner to cover more area in less time. Even large treatment zones like the legs, back, or chest can be completed quickly.
Progressive, long-term results
With each session, hair regrowth becomes finer, lighter, and less frequent. Most clients achieve significant long-term reduction after a course of six to eight sessions.
Laser Hair Removal at Sequoia
Your practitioner assesses your skin type, hair colour, and the treatment area to determine the right wavelength, energy settings, and treatment plan for your specific needs.
The treatment area should be shaved one to two days before your session. Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and waxing or plucking in the weeks leading up to treatment. Your practitioner will provide full preparation guidance when you book.
The GentleMax Pro handpiece is passed over the treatment area, delivering targeted pulses of laser energy to the hair follicle. The Dynamic Cooling Device activates before each pulse to protect your skin and maximise comfort. Session times vary from 15 minutes for smaller areas to 45 minutes for larger zones.
Hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase. A course of six to eight sessions, spaced four to eight weeks apart depending on the body area, is typically recommended to target all follicles at the optimal stage.
Who is laser hair removal for?
Laser hair removal may be right for you if...
You want a permanent solution.
You are tired of shaving, waxing, and temporary methods that demand constant maintenance. Laser hair removal offers progressive, long-term reduction that frees you from the routine.
You have been told your skin tone is not suitable.
Many laser platforms cannot safely treat darker skin tones. The GentleMax Pro's Nd:YAG wavelength is specifically designed for safe, effective treatment across all Fitzpatrick skin types, including types V and VI.

The laser delivers concentrated light energy into the hair follicle, where it is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This energy converts to heat, damaging the follicle and inhibiting future growth. Because the laser targets melanin, it is most effective during the active growth phase of the hair cycle, which is why multiple sessions are needed.
Most clients require six to eight sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart, depending on the treatment area. Hair grows in cycles, and each session targets follicles at different stages of growth. After completing a course, occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended.
Most clients describe a brief, warm snapping sensation during each pulse. The GentleMax Pro's Dynamic Cooling Device significantly reduces discomfort by cooling the skin before and after each pulse. Most clients find the treatment very manageable.
Yes. The GentleMax Pro's 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength is specifically designed for safe, effective treatment on darker skin tones. Your practitioner will select the appropriate wavelength and settings for your skin type during your consultation.
This depends on the treatment area. Smaller areas like the upper lip or underarms take 10 to 15 minutes. Larger areas like full legs or the back may take 30 to 45 minutes.
Before treatment, avoid sun exposure, tanning, waxing, and plucking for at least two to four weeks. Shave the treatment area one to two days before your session. After treatment, avoid sun exposure, hot baths, and vigorous exercise for 24 to 48 hours. Your practitioner will provide detailed aftercare guidance.
