Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal SHR combines laser technology and pulse light to achieve almost painless results for the removal of most types of hair and is safe on all skin types. SHR is different from traditional IPL and laser as it targets the hair germ cells and the blood supply that feeds them. It does not rely solely on the pigment of the hair to effectively destroy the targeted hair.

New research has shown that a slower, longer heating process is more effective for permanent hair reduction than high and short levels of energy.

Laser Hair Removal results vary for most people in the number of treatments required. This depends on where their hair cycles are when we first start, but usually most people need around 6 treatments. Some clients have experienced up to 70% hair reduction after just 4 sessions.

For the best Laser Hair Removal results, we typically recommend 6 to 10 treatments. This allows hairs to be effectively disabled during the active growth phase. After completing the treatment course, maintenance touch-ups may be needed once or twice a year. People suffering from hormonal imbalances may require additional treatments.

• Please ensure the area to be treated is free from ALL topical solutions
• Shaving is required 2-12 hours prior any sooner can result in heightened sensitivity during the process
• Avoid exposure to the sun for a minimum of three days before treatment whilst tanned skin is absolutely fine to work with, the tan cannot be active in order to achieve maximum results
• Cease use of tanning creams two weeks before treatment
• Avoid bleaching, plucking, waxing, epilation and any other forms of hair removal for 4 weeks prior
• Do not use essential oils 48 hours prior
• Depilatory creams should be avoided 1 week before treatment commences
• Cold sore medication can be taken five days before and five days after treatment
• Should you be on antibiotics it is recommended to leave a two week gap between taking them and starting treatment

Actively growing hair that’s been treated with SHR should not grow back. Once a hair follicle is damaged, it cannot grow hair. However, hair follicles that were not in the active growth phas, will need to be treated. It’s also not unusual for some patients to have a touch-up two years after initial treatment due to hormonal changes.

That depends on the area of the body to be treated. The duration of the treatment can vary between a few minutes for the upper lip, one half hour for the lower thigh up to more than an hour for the whole body. The SHR treatment time with our medical grade machine takes less time than with our IPL technology.

Depending on skin type and sensitiveness of the skin, some light skin redness (erythema) or slight swelling (edema) can be experienced. These are normal reactions which show that the treatment was effective and they should generally disappear after a short while.

• The taking of certain medicines which cause photo-allergic and photo-toxic reactions must be clarified beforehand.
• Tattoos must be covered carefully otherwise there is a risk that they become damaged.
