Directing heat energy from a laser or IPL system to the bulb of the hair root results in destruction of the hair. However, this is only possible while hairs are in their “growth phase”.
It is not possible to determine which particular hairs are in this phase at any given time, so a number of treatment sessions is necessary for good results.
We offer the following hair reduction systems:
Epilight- IPL
Intense Pulsed Light can be used to remove unwanted hair from any part of the body.
Soprano- Diode Laser
This laser is excellent for darker skin types & efficiently treats larger areas such as the legs, back & chest.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of sessions required will vary but usually 8 – 10 is required.
Is the treatment painful?
Sensations felt may vary from person to person. However, it is generally agreed it is far less painful than waxing and electrolysis.
How will I feel after the treatment?
You may feel a mild burning sensation and some slight redness which usually disappears within 24-48hrs.
Can any hair colour be treated?
As a general rule, dark hair on fair skin is the easiest to treat as the colour of the hair absorbs the energy. Fair and very fine hair is more difficult, particularly if the skin has colour in it from recent sun exposure or self-tanning products. If possible you should aim to have any hair removal treatment during the winter months when pigment cells are less active.
