Why Consider Laser Hair Removal?
-
The result from laser & IPL hair removal cannot be matched by traditional methods of hair removal.
-
Not only will you save money in the long run, but you will save yourself a lot of time that would have been spent removing the hair.
How Does It Work?
The laser removes the hair by a process called selective photothermolysis, which means getting the right amount of laser energy at the right wavelength it is able to destroy the hair follicle without destroying the surrounding skin.
-
The Light energy from the laser is transferred into thermal energy in the hair follicle.
-
The Laser targets the Melanin, the pigmented region of the hair follicle and when the heat is absorbed by the Melanin, the follicle is destroyed.
-
The Result – permanent hair reduction.
What is the Hair Growth Cycle?
In order to understand Laser Hair Removal further you need an understanding of the Hair Growth Cycle. The Hair growth cycle has three distinct growth phases. These are known as the:
-
Anagen: Active growth phase
-
Catagen: Regressive phase
-
Telogen: Resting phase
Special Note: It is ONLY during the active growth ‘Anagen’ phase that Laser can permanently disable hair growth.
Who Will Benefit from Laser / IPL?
-
You are suitable if you have dark facial hair and prone to suffer from ingrown hairs.
-
You will benefit if you find traditional methods of hair removal difficult or inconvenient and would like a quick and permanent solution for hair reduction.
-
Laser/IPL Hair Removal is perfect if you desire smooth, soft skin after hair removal as laser & IPL treatments will ensure that rough, dry skin becomes a thing of the past.
-
All skin types are suitable for Laser/IPL Hair removal including dark skin. Our Lasers & IPL’s are perfect for safe usage on darker skin types.
-
The golden rule for Laser/IPL Hair Removal is that the hair needs to be darker than the skin, the darker the hair the better. Unfortunately, we cannot treat white/grey, blonde or red hairs.
-
Your medical history will be taken at the consultation in order to check that you are medically suitable to have the treatment performed.
Do I Have To Grow My Hair?
-
There is no need to grow your hair out for regular treatments; you may shave as many times as you wish, this will not affect the results.
-
The following methods are suitable for removing hair:
Shaving – removing the hair by using a blade.
Trimming – removing the hair by the use of a machine to cut the hairs; or
Hair Removing Creams – removing the hair by applying a non-invasive cream that removes the hair without it affecting the follicle.
-
The following methods should not be used to remove hair:
Bleaching – Lightening the hair using harsh chemicals.
Epilating – removing the hair, including the follicle, by a pulling motion. Included in this are Waxing, Epilating Machines, Plucking, Threading, Tweezing and more. Your consultant will advice you on your hair type & suggest the most appropriate treatments.
How Many Treatments Will I Require?
-
The number of treatments are dependent on the individual.
-
The number of treatments is also dependant on medical background & hormonal changes in the body.
-
Some clients are happy after 6 sessions; whereas some people will desire more. It is important to note that maintenance sessions will be required.
-
Usually, women’s faces require more treatments than bodily areas. Women are predisposed to grow new hair on the face as they get older. Hormones, menopause & medication all increase growth.
-
Areas like legs, bikini & under arms are 95% successful because women are predisposed to lose hair in these areas as they get older
How Often Do I Need To Come In?
During the initial 6 treatments, we recommend treatments very 4 weeks for the face & every 6 weeks for the body areas.
-
After the initial 6 treatments, the time between treatments varies from client to client.
