The ultimate guide to Laser Hair Removal in Bali

Last fact-checked: 9 July 2020

Looking at options for laser hair removal in Bali? Medical Departures can help you find a quality, background-checked clinic offering competitive prices to international visitors.

Removing unwanted hair is an age-old problem. If you are fed up with having to shave, wax, pluck or whatever other methods you use every few days or so, then you may want to try laser hair removal. 

Almost all hair removal methods have their limitations, can be painful and even cause infections. Often you have to let the hair grow to a particular length before being able to remove it, so you can never be completely hair-free for long.

The current temporary methods of hair removal are hair removal creams and lotions, shaving, electric epilators and depilatories, waxing, sugaring and threading. Laser hair removal can be done on all parts of the body, doesn’t need to be done over and over again (after the initial number of sessions are complete) and effectively reduces hair growth.

Why Consider Laser Hair Removal in Bali?

If you are planning a holiday to Bali, you can undergo laser hair removal at an affordable price, particularly since it does not require downtime. Taking a little time out of your holiday for this simple procedure will save you a huge amount of time, effort and money in the long run.

As a popular holiday destination, Bali is relatively accessible from most corners of the world, especially for those flying from Australia, New Zealand or Asian countries. With gorgeous beaches, lots of activities like scuba diving, golf and surfing as well as beautiful scenery and cultural attractions, the island is a magnet for all ages.

How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Take and What Does it Entail?

In general, one laser hair removal can take between one and three hours, depending on how big an area is to be covered. Much like other hair removal methods, larger areas will take longer than smaller ones. For instance, getting both legs and arms done at one time will take much longer than just getting your underarms done. 

As for the actual procedure, a laser device is moved several times over the part that is treated, effectively zapping the hair. Different laser devices work for different hair and skin types, which is why it is important that whoever carries out the work has the necessary experience to know which type will work best on you. 

If you have a low pain threshold, you may require a topical anesthetic, but if you can bear waxing, then the pain shouldn’t be much more than that. You will need to use eyewear to protect your eyes during the procedure. 

What About the Recovery Period?

You may have minor redness and swelling that will soon subside, but apart from that, there is no downtime. You should be able to walk out of the clinic just as mobile as when you came in. Just keep in mind that only hair that is in the growing phase is susceptible to laser hair removal treatment.
