Traditional unwanted hair removal routines can become extremely tedious and costly over time, therefore laser hair removal can be an ideal option to achieve longer lasting results. Re growth is slower with a less coarse and dense appearance and is suitable for use on small or large areas of hair. Excessive hair growth is also known as Hirsutism, affecting approximately 10% of women aged 18-35. This can be particularly distressing when occurring on the face or body, so depilation by laser is often a good option to help. Hair removal by laser is applicable to most skin types (including dark and tanned skin) and for use all over the body. During the treatment, the laser releases pulses into the hair follicle via the skin, destroying the follicle and preventing re growth.

WHAT TO EXPECT
The treatment may feel slightly uncomfortable, perhaps similar to an elastic band snapping on the skin. Some localized swelling , tenderness or redness of the area may be experienced for up to 24 hours. Some hairs may disappear during treatment, and others which have been made to curl up by the laser will fall out later. Several treatments are normally required over a year to obtain the best results, and the effectiveness also depends on factors such as hair colour and skin tone. For any further information discussion with the surgeon is recomended.
