Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is the most effective method of hair removal available that can be used almost anywhere on the face and body. Unlike other methods such as waxing and shaving laser hair removal gives long lasting results.The hair will become finer and softer meaning less visible and the growth will slow down more and more with each treatment.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal uses light energy to permanently damage or destroy individual hair follicles. This treatment targets the roots beneath the surface of the skin using a medical grade laser to prevent regrowth.
The hair follicle must be targeted at a specific time during its growth cycle to prevent the hair from returning. As individual hairs could be in different parts of the hair growth cycle at any one time, you will need several treatment sessions to see long-lasting results. We usually recommend 6-8 appointments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Laser hair removal is suitable for men and women with all skin tones. It works on your entire body, including sensitive areas such as the face and bikini line. Popular targets include facial hair, leg hair, bikini area, underarm hair, back hair and chest hair.
Why choose laser hair removal?
Our laser hair removal treatment enables you to benefit from smooth skin, avoiding the in-grown hairs and irritation that can occur with shaving. Results are also more permanent than waxing, sugaring or hair removal creams/depilatory creams. Unlike IPL (intense pulsed light), laser hair removal is suitable for dark skin tones and hard-to-reach areas. And in contrast to electrolysis, it can be used to remove hair all over the body, with the ability to target large areas at one time.
Benefits of laser hair removal
Many patients book an appointment to see us when they notice symptoms such as pain, discharge or lesions around the genitals. Whether you have symptoms or not, if you have had unprotected sex it is important that you are tested for STIs. Some sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia can have no symptoms. Therefore you could be infected and not even know it. The sooner treatment is started the better. Sexually transmitted infections can be passed from one person to another through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal and oral sex.
Our dermatologists may need to examine you. We offer a discreet but thorough intimate examination if needed, and with a chaperone if requested. An examination is very helpful if you have concerns about any rashes, lumps or sores that are bothering you.
