Laser Hair Removal – From only £49 per treatment

Most people are suitable for treatment. Best results are seen with people who have lighter skin and darker hair. Dark hair is more easily treated as it has a high concentration of melanin. Fair hair however contains less melanin so is harder to treat. Grey/white hair has no melanin so is not suitable for treatment.

Treatment sensation varies but is often described as a ‘flick of an elastic band’. No anaesthetic is required and most clients describe the discomforts as moderate and tolerable.

The hair follicles are damaged by the heat but the hairs remain in the follicles. The dead hairs shed after 1 to 3 weeks as the epidermis renews. During this period the hairs will seem to grow as they are pushed out by the new epidermis.

Only hair that is actively growing is affected, therefore multiple treatments are needed. Treatments are conducted every 4 to 8 weeks depending on the area being treated, until a good result is seen. The number of treatments varies, although typically 6 treatments or more are needed for optimum results.

The skin may be red immediately after treatment and the hair follicles may be swollen and raised but this usually subsides within a few hours. Adverse reactions are rare but may include a small blister or temporary lightening or darkening of the skin.

Treatments can take as little as 10 minutes and up to 3 hours (for full body), depending upon the size of area being treated.

Let’s be very clear: IPL hair removal is not the same as Laser Hair Removal

Clients are often confused about IPL and Laser Hair Removal, often because they have heard conflicting stories from friends and family or salons that offer IPL treatments that may try and blur the distinction between the two forms of treatment and technologies.

IPL and Laser treatments are very different. Both treatments use light energy to reduce and stop hair growth, but each produces light energy in very different ways and this has significant impact on the quality and effectiveness of your treatment.

IPL hair removal

IPL machines produce a broad spectrum of wavelengths, much like a regular lamp, and cannot be focused to a concentrated beam (because you need a single wavelength light beam to be able to do that). Different wavelengths of light penetrate the skin at different depths. As a result, only some of the light energy is used effectively for hair removal and it also means that deeper, thicker hairs are not treated effectively. In addition, some of the light can be absorbed into the surrounding tissue, leading to heating of the pigment in the skin. This is why there is more of a risk of burns for darker skin types with IPL.

Laser hair removal

A laser is an intensely concentrated, single wavelength, beam of light. The energy reaches a defined depth of penetration and as it is focused (rather than diffused like IPL), it delivers more powerful, accurate results and better hair removal per treatment.

We only offer Laser Hair Removal at ProSkin

At ProSkin, we only use Cynosure lasers for laser hair removal. The reason we only use the award winning Cynosure lasers is simple: We believe they produce the most reliable and effective permanent hair removal results for our clients. IPL technology and cheaper lasers simply can not produce the same quality of permanent hair removal results that can be achieved by these market leading lasers.

Here are some very good reasons why we believe all clients should choose laser hair removal treatments instead of IPL hair removal:

- IPL is a cheaper, less effective technology for body hair removal

- Laser technology is simply much more effective, and achieves substantially better results than IPL in permanent hair removal

- You will very likely need less treatments with laser than IPL

- Lasers are far more precise, and can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged

- Each laser pulse takes a fraction of a second and can treat several hairs at a time

- Laser hair removal can be used to treat larger body areas

- Laser settings can be adjusted to suit your specific skin tone and hair colour

- Lasers are safe for all skin colours, whereas IPL can cause burns on darker skin tones

- The cost of a Laser treatment can be higher in comparison to IPL, however this is because a laser machine is much more expensive to purchase and produces better results, so you will not only need fewer treatment sessions, but you will also enjoy better end results than you would with an IPL hair removal treatment.

So when you research your options for hair removal, always ask yourself the following questions:

-Is the provider using an IPL or a laser for the permanent hair removal treatment?
-How many sessions are required to achieve the desired hair removal?
-Is the machine used an award winning, recognizable brand or an unknown generic machine with unproven track record?
-Can the provider show case studies and before/ after pictures of successful hair removal treatments with that machine?
-How much will the treatment course of hair removal cost in total?
-How qualified and experienced are the therapists?
-Have I had the risks involved explained to me and is post treatment care and advice available?
-Have I had a patch test prior to treatment?
