We offer state-of-the-art laser treatments designed to significantly reduce unwanted hair growth for both our female and male clients, leading to smoother skin with long-lasting results. Say goodbye to constant shaving and waxing!
How it works:
Our advanced laser system emits concentrated beams of light that are selectively absorbed by the pigment (melanin) within the hair follicles. This light energy converts to heat, which damages the follicle and inhibits its ability to regrow hair, without harming the surrounding skin. The process targets hairs in their active growth phase.
Targeting hair at the root during the growth phase leads to a gradual but significant reduction in hair density and thickness over a course of treatments.
To achieve the best permanent hair reduction, understanding the hair growth cycle is key:
Anagen (growth phase): This is the active phase where the hair follicle has the most pigment, making it the ideal stage for the laser to effectively target and disable the follicle.
Catagen (transition phase): The hair detaches from the blood supply. Laser treatment is less effective during this short phase.
Telogen (resting phase): The follicle is dormant. Laser treatment is not effective as the hair is not actively growing.
Since only a percentage of hairs are in the Anagen phase at any one time, multiple sessions are required to capture all hairs during their growth cycle.
Choosing professional laser hair removal ensures the treatment is performed safely and effectively by a trained therapist who can adjust settings precisely for your specific skin type and hair colour, maximising results and minimising risks.
Elegance top tips… How to get the best results from your Laser Hair Removal...
Consistency is Crucial: Attend your scheduled sessions (typically 4-8 weeks apart) to target hair follicles as they enter the Anagen growth phase. This ensures maximum reduction over time.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Tanned skin (including fake tan) can increase the risk of side effects. Avoid sunbathing and tanning beds, and use a high SPF sunscreen on treated areas throughout your course.
Shave Beforehand: Unlike waxing, you should shave the area 12-24 hours before your appointment. This allows the laser to target the energy directly at the follicle beneath the skin, not the hair above it. Do not wax, pluck, or epilate between sessions, as this removes the follicle target.
Patience Pays Off: Results are gradual. You'll notice hair shedding and slower regrowth after each session, with significant reduction typically visible after several treatments.
