LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Permanent hair reduction using a medical grade laser
Let's be honest, no one enjoys regular hair removal methods such as shaving or waxing. Laser hair removal is a quick, proven method to permanently reduce hair growth for both men and women. A course of around 8 treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart will permanently reduce hair growth and is suitable for most areas of the face and body. Our Duetto MT Evo is the world's first mixed technology laser which combines two 'Gold Standard' lasers in one, for superior hair removal results, on all hair and skin types.
WHAT IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses concentrated laser tlighto remove unwanted hair. The laser emits a beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicles within the skin that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth. It is the perfect option if you are looking for an effective solution for unwanted body or facial hair.
HOW DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORK?
BEFORE
In order for the treatment to be effective, the hair follicle needs to be intact, meaning you cannot pluck, wax, epilate or tweeze the hair. You can shave between treatments as the laser light will penetrate the skin surface and target the root of the hair.The light heats up the melanin causing permanent damage to the root and preventing growth.
DURING
During the treatment, our expert technicians will select the correct settings for your hair type and skin colour. The light is passed over the treatment area, causing heat to kill hair follicles that are in the growing stage. You may feel some discomfort but our laser is super quick, treating an area such as underarms in minutes.
AFTER
Over the next week or two the skin will exfoliate, taking with it the the treated hair. The area will be hair free for at least a few weeks, until you have new growth, ready for your next appointment. Appointments are spaced about six weeks apart to target cars in the treatable growing stage. You will see a reduction in growth after each appointment and you can shave between appointments.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW MANY LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Hair grows in cycles, anagen (growth stage), catagen (resting stage) and telagen (shedding stage). We can only destroy follicles in the anagen stage and so several treatments are needed to destroy all follicles in any particular area. Typically between 6 and 12 treatments are needed for good results.
DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL HURT?
Treatment sensation varies but it is often described as a flick of an elastic band. No anaesthetic is required and most clients describe the discomfort as moderate and tolerable. We use cold air during your treatment for increased comfort.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECT OF LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Following treatment the area may be red and the hair follicles may be swollen, but this usually subsides within a few hours. Adverse reactions are very rare but may include blistering or a tempory lightening or darkening of the skin.
CAN LASER TREAT ALL HAIR COLOURS AND SKIN TONES?
We have an award winning dual wavelength laser that is able to treat all skin tones and all hair colours except from grey or white hair. Grey/white hair has no melanin so it is not suitable for laser treatment.
IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL BETTER THAN IPL?
We use the Duetto MT Evo laser which can be used to treat nearly all hair and skin types, unlike IPL which cannot be used to treat light hair or darker skin tones. It is also more precise than IPL, so the heat is directed at the hair follicle and not the skin which means faster and more effective results.
HOW LONG DOES EACH TREATMENT TAKE?
Treatments typically take between 10 and 60 minutes depending on the size of the area to be treated.
