Laser Hair Removal
About the Technology
Looking for a permanent reduction in unwanted hair?
Laser hair removal is a well-known, effective way to achieve long-term results. You’ll begin to see great results after only a few treatments and your hair removal will be long lasting. No longer will you have to worry about that irritating shaving rash, ingrown hair or waxing regrowth.
Beam Me Up!
Laser hair removal treatment has been used in the professional beauty industry for over 30 years. This safe technology uses an intense beam of light (made up of a single wavelength or colour) to target the melanin pigment in your hair. Providing that your skin is light in colour it is essentially transparent to this wavelength so is not affected. As the melanin absorbs the light energy, the hair shaft heats up the follicle. This in turn destroys the cells responsible for hair regrowth, and after a only few treatments the result is lovely smooth skin.
Why you will need more than one treatment…
It would be nice to think that you’ll only need one hair removal treatment and wham thehair would be gone. However, hair grows in natural cycles - therefore at any given time you will have some hair in the growth period while others will be in the rest period.
Consequently the process of any viable long-term hair removal is not instant. After your first treatment hair will reappear – this is not the regrowth of the hair that has already been removed - but new hair coming out of its rest period. This is why it’s important to treat any hair within 2 weeks while it is still growing – thus treating the hair in its growth cycle. Gradually, as the hair follicles are destroyed less and less hair appears, you’ll be rewarded with silky, smooth and hairless skin for the long term.
