What you need to know
Who is it suitable for?
Laser is suitable for everyone who wants to remove and reduce hair growth on the face and body. We can successfully treat all skin types and hair growth other than blonde, white, red or grey hairs.
How does it work?
The laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair, absorbing and shattering the pigment during the treatment. The laser cuts off the blood supply to the hair follicle, destroying the hair follicle so the hair can no longer grow/reduce.
How soon will see results?
You should be seeing at least 50% reduction of hair growth in your first 1-2 treatments. From your treatment, the hair will shrivel up into the hair follicle and will fall out 10-14 days post treatment. You will then be hair free for a few weeks until your next appointment where you will see the next growth come through that will be much slower and finer. The hair will becomes less in each session until you reach a complete maintenance stage.
How often do I need treatment?
Consistency is the key with laser hair removal therefore treatments must be performed 4 weeks apart for the body and 2-4 weeks for the face depending on growth. As your hair growth becomes less, we can space your appointments further and further apart.
Is a test patch required?
No, we do not need to do a test patch for laser hair removal.
Downtime
There is very minimal downtime with laser hair removal. Slight erythema can be present post treatment for up to 24-48 hours however this generally subsides very quickly.
Pre & Post Care
Sun exposure, fake tan and photosensitising medication/antibiotics must be avoided for 2 weeks prior to your laser treatment. An aloe vera must be applied post treatment for up to 3 days to the treatment area. There must be no creams or lotions applied to the area for up to 1 week post treatment.
