Hair Removal
What does the treatment involve?
Laser hair removal has been proven to create a permanent reduction in the number of regrowing hairs. The laser is gently moved over the surface of the skin while pulses of light are selectively absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles. The absorbed light damages the existing hair and destroys the regrowth potential of the follicle, all while protecting the surrounding tissue. The end result is significant, and often permanent hair reduction.

It is a fast procedure, less than 30 minutes to treat both lower legs and most people experience minimum discomfort feeling no more than a slight tingling sensation.

It can be used to treat any area of the body and on most skin types. Prior to the treatment we will discuss in details how laser hair removal works and assess if it is suitable for you. For some clients a test patch will need to be performed to observe the effect. An immediate effect may be seen, although it is not unusual for the hair to take up to 14 days to fall out of the destroyed follicle.
 
How many treatments are required?
The number of treatments required varies, depending on the density and location of the hair growth. Each treatment will destroy between 60% and 90% of the growing hair. Most people require between 5 and 8 treatments. However, extremely coarse, dense hair may take longer.

A patch test is required on your visit prior to treatment.
