Laser Hair removal

Are you fed up of hair on your face and body? are you fed up with shaving rashes and ingrowing hairs?

Imagine spending a small sum to remove your hair permanently meaning no shaving or waxing?

 

Laser hair removal may be an option for considering for permanent hair removal.

 

Using diode laser technology is the latest breakthrough in laser hair removal systems. It uses a light beam with a narrow focus to target specific areas in the skin. Diode lasers offer the deepest penetration levels giving the most effective results post treatment.  perfect for any areas on the face and body even able to treat the smaller areas  i.e. nipples and lip.

FAQs

The laser is attracted to the  pigment melanin located in the hair follicle. The hairs pigment then absorbs the light and the energy is converted to heat, which in turn weakens the hair bulb follicle. The hairs in the active growing phase are affected, and their damage leads to delayed hair regrowth. With the diode laser, multiple follicles are targeted at a time ,making it very effective on large body areas. The hairs will begin to fall out about a couple of weeks after treatment. The damaged hair follicles do not produce hair, and many of them are permanently destroyed. Some follicles will rebuild as part of the body’s natural healing process, and they will need to be treated again

Compared to other laser systems, the Diode laser has a longer wavelength allowing for safer and deeper skin penetration. Treatment is quicker and more effective, as large areas of skin can be treated at any one time. Another benefit is that there is less risk of epidermis (skin) damage and therefore recovery after each treatment  is faster. Each laser treatment leaves you with less and less hair and you will gradually notice the difference after each treatment.

Hair growth occurs in 4 stages: Early Anagen (early hair growth), Anagen (active hair growth), Catagen (regression) and Telogen (resting, not growing).


Laser hair removal only affects the Anagen stage (actively growing hair). Therefore, approximately twenty-five percent of hair is removed with each treatment meaning a  few treatments are therefore required for the treatment area to be hair free on average 6 to 12 sessions needed per area.


Occasionally hair can sometimes want to produce new growth as it repairs it self things such as hormones can trigger this, we therefore always recommend top ups every 12 weeks to keep away any new growth

Pre & After Care

For the treatment to be as successful as it possibly can be there are a few requirements to take on board:

  • A patch test is required
  • the area to be treated is free from ALL topical solutions, fake tan lotions, deodorant. perfumes etc.
  • Shaving is required around 24 hours prior, aim for 1 to 2 mm growth for your sessions.
  • Avoid exposure to the sun for a minimum of three days before treatment whilst tanned skin is fine to work with, the tan cannot be active in order to achieve maximum results
  • Avoid bleaching, plucking, waxing, epilation, and any other forms of hair removal for 4 weeks prior
  • Do not use essential oils 48 hours prior
  • Depilatory creams should be avoided 1 week before treatment commences
Aftercare
  • -Cold compress (no ice) and aloe vera may be useful to reduce swelling and erythema(redness) or general discomfort.
  • Erythema may last several hours.
  • Do not soak the area for first 24 to 48 hours, no hot tubs whirlpools, or baths but showers are ok with tepid water.
  • the skin will be fragile for 2 to 3 days, use gentle cleaning – do not rub the area. Aloe vera applied can help air recovery.
  • Avoid sun exposure, sunbeds, and fake tan creams during the entire course of treatments. Use SPF 30 or above on the treatment area if you go into the sun.
  • Avoid excessive sweating for 24 to 48 hours no saunas or working out.
  • Keep areas well moisturised and allow any blisters to flake and fall off on their own, do not pick the blisters this is the most common cause of infections and scarring.
  • Avoid irritants such as retin A, retinol, renova, glycolics, bleaching creams and exfoliants for at least 2 weeks.
  • Refrain from alcohol for 3 to 7 days (may dilate blood vessels in the treatment area)
  • Keep well hydrated
  • It is best to avoid smoking for a good few weeks before and after procedure as smoking constricts the capillaries and taxes the immune system, thereby slowing healing results.
  • Avoid photosensitivity inducing foods (celery, leeks etc)
