LASER HAIR REMOVAL IN MANCHESTER

Yes, laser hair removal is an effective method for hair reduction on all parts of the body and face.  The hair most contain some pigment for the laser to target this and destroy it.  The laser will not work on white hairs.  The heat from the laser damages the hair follicles, reducing future hair growth. It's important to note that laser hair removal is most effective on individuals with dark, coarse hair and lighter skin tones. This is because the laser is better able to distinguish between the colour of the hair and the colour of the skin, reducing the risk of skin damage.

The laser targets hair follicles and the ones that it  destroys are permanently removed.  Some follicles may be in a different phase of the hair growth cycle at the time of treatment, so they will be treated during another session.  

The results of hair reduction will vary depending on hair colour, skin type and the type of laser used.

Laser hair removal can feel uncomfortable for some patients and they often describe the sensation as being flicked with an elastic band.  We using cooling air during the treatment to help reduce the discomfort from the procedure.  Most patients find the procedure relatively painless and tolerate it very well.  The length of duration of each session depends on the size of the area being treated, with smaller areas like the upper lip taking just a few minutes, while larger areas like the legs or back may take up to an hour.

Our team will arrange a consultation to assess your skin type and areas of concern. We will need to undertake a small test patch to assess the skin reaction to the laser treatment.  Once the test patch has been performed, we will assess the outcome a few weeks later and can proceed further. 

The price for hair removal by laser will vary depending on the area being treated.  The initial test patch is £50. The prices for different areas vary and given below. We offer cost-effective packages for different courses of laser hair removal treatment.

The most significant difference between IPL and laser is the type of light. Laser light is known to be monochromatic and nondivergent. It targets very specific areas. 

On the other hand, IPL produces a broadband spectrum of white light, producing a mixture of many different colors. Also, lasers are a more effective method of hair removal compared to IPL devices.

During your laser hair removal session, you can expect to wear protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser beams. The therapist performing the treatment will use a handheld device to deliver the laser energy to the targeted area. They will carefully move the device over your skin, ensuring that each hair follicle receives the appropriate amount of energy.

As the laser is applied, you may feel a slight warmth or tingling sensation. Some individuals describe it as a rubber band snapping against the skin, while others may feel a mild discomfort. If needed, the technician can adjust the settings to ensure your comfort during the treatment.  You will also feel some cold air against the skin as we using a cooler to help reduce the heat to the skin. 

The duration of each session depends on the size of the area being treated. Smaller areas, such as the upper lip or underarms, may only take a few minutes, while larger areas like the legs or back may take up to an hour. Our therapists will guide you through the process and  ensure your comfort throughout.

After your treatment, you might experience some minor side effects, such as redness, swelling, or mild discomfort in the treated area. These effects are usually mild and settle within a few hours to a few days. Applying a cool pack or aloe vera gel can help reduce any discomfort or inflammation.

It is important to avoid sun exposure and sun beds for at least a week after your treatment. Your skin may be more sensitive to sunlight, and exposure can increase the risk of complications such as burns or pigmentation changes. Applying a good sunscreen with a high SPF is recommended to protect your skin during this time.

In between your sessions, it is important to avoid plucking, waxing, or electrolysis. Shaving or trimming the hair is generally allowed, as it does not disturb the hair follicles. The treated hair will gradually fall out over the following weeks, and you may notice a reduction in hair growth between sessions.
