Not only can we spend a lot of time shaving or waxing, but they can be painful, too, causing razor bumps, burns, and ingrown hairs on the body. Laser hair removal permanently eliminates unwanted hair for your convenience and comfort in your everyday life.
At Dr Refresh in Ultimo, our specialist dermatologist has meticulously chosen a laser hair removal device that is effective, safe and comfortable. Our device is the most up-to-date technology to achieve superior results with no downtime, and also allows us to customise the treatment to individual patient’s needs.

Step 1: Consultation
Before receiving treatment at Dr Refresh, we ask that our patients come in for a consultation to meet with Dr Ritu Gupta or her associate dermatologists, who are specialist medical and cosmetic dermatologists, or one of her nurses and therapists. At this consultation, we want to hear from you and learn more about your concerns. We take this time to develop a treatment plan and find out whether laser hair removal is best for you.
Step 2: Treatment
At your laser hair removal appointment, you will wear protective eyewear and position yourself depending on the area of treatment. Our specialist will slowly move the Sciton Forever Bare BBL or laser device over the treatment site while it delivers energy into the hair follicles, destroying them for good.
Step 3: Follow-Up
While most patients will see a reduction in body hair after just one treatment, patients will need several sessions to get the most out of their laser hair removal in Ultimo. We will give you exact instructions on how to care for your treatment site after your appointment!
Precise
Our laser for hair removal targets only the dark hair follicles to avoid damaging the surrounding skin.
Fast
It works quickly to treat areas like the upper lip in less than a minute, or larger areas in about 15 minutes!
Permanent
With enough sessions, patients will enjoy a permanent reduction in body hair.

Is laser hair removal painful?
Many patients report that the sensation of laser hair removal is similar to a rubber band repeatedly snapping against the skin.
Why do I need multiple sessions for laser hair removal in Ultimo?
Your hair grows in stages, and not all hair will be at the same stage when you get laser hair removal done. Completing multiple sessions over the course of a few months ensures that the laser will destroy hair follicles at each stage to maximise the permanence of laser hair removal. If hair does grow in after removal, it will be finer, lighter, and sparser than before.
How many sessions will I need?
We will determine the exact number of sessions needed at your initial consultation. Normally, patients can expect to complete four to six sessions of laser hair removal in Ultimo for best results.
Dr Ritu Gupta founded Dr Refresh to create a practice that combines medical expertise and cosmetic dermatology. Every treatment at our practice is performed by Dr Ritu, her associate dermatologists, or her exceptionally trained and skilled clinicians who take the time to understand you and your concerns. We ensure the highest quality of outcomes through the highest quality of treatments, technology, and talent.
