What does Laser Hair Removal involve?
Laser hair removal treatment involves coherent and direct light beams concentrated onto hair follicles. The light beams are absorbed by the melanin and pigment is embedded in both the skin and the hair. This light converts to heat and breaks down the base of the follicle, effectively reducing hair growth by up to 80 percent. There is no damage to the surrounding skin tissue or heat damage to the skin surface. The hair is not only less pigmented but becomes finer and has overall permanent hair reduction in the treatment area.
Laser hair removal involves top of the range medical grade laser equipment, and this is very different to an IPL. An IPL machine does not create permanent hair reduction due to its cheap manufacturing and incoherent light beams.
This treatment usually involves 8 to 12 sessions to achieve the desired hair reduction, however this is dependent on the area and skin type and would be established within the consultation. There are 6 weeks between sessions. This is because the hair grows in cycles and needs to be in the growth stage for effective removal rather than the resting phase, which would yield minimal results.
Session times can often range, this is because pigment and hair growth differs from person to person. These sessions are 15 mins-1.5 hours depending on your treatment area.
Patch Test & Consultation
By law, a patch test and full consultation is mandatory to ensure you are medically suitable to undergo the laser treatment and must be carried out at least 1 week prior to your treatment for Fitzpatrick types 1-3, and 2 weeks prior for Fitzpatrick types 4-5.
