Hair Removal

Lasers have been used for depilation since 1994.

We have extensively researched various lasers and pulsed light systems. With medical expert advice and proven results; the Elite system we deploy is the best technology available to suit a wide range of skin types.

How does it work?

A short burst of light is pulsed onto a section of the skin's surface. This light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair shaft where it heats and destroys the hair.

The hair needs to be treated in the growth stage (anagen) as the light is transmitted down the hair shaft to the base of the follicle to the bulge, where the stem cells are situated lining the follicle shaft, causing their destruction.

Hair caught in the growth stage will not grow again.

Other follicles nearby which are not actively growing may also produce new hair.These follicles will need to be targeted in the growth stage. Therefore a course of treatment is required to target all the hair growth.

How many treatments?

Everyone 's hair and hair growth is different.

A free consultation is recommended to fully explain how the treatment works and to take into account any possible hormonal conditions or complications.

More than one treatment will certainly be required. The exact number will vary depending on skin types, where the hair is, what has been done to the hair in the past and each individuals response to laser treatment.

Can all hair colours be treated?

No. Some colours respond better than others. Laser works best on dark hair because dark hair contains more pigment to absorb light. Fair hair can respond but white hair, very blond hair and red hair will not respond to laser treatment.

Why use laser?

Shaving, waxing and creams are all temporary methods that must be repeated regularly. Electrolysis is very slow.

Laser hair removal is the only significant improvement in hair removal in the past 15 years.
